Safety Plan Acknowledgement

No�ce: Subcontractors, Suppliers and Vendors are to complete and return this acknowledgement prior to commencement of work.

Failure to comply with the requirements shall result in contract cancella�on and work stoppage!

WELCOME!

It is ELITE COMPANIES goal to establish and maintain the safest workplace possible. To help accomplish this task we have ins�tuted safety standards that we feel are more stringent than OSHA regula�ons and well above what is commonly accepted around the construc�on industry. Obviously, this higher level of safety cannot be achieved throughout the jobsite unless all individuals contribute by adhering to and ensuring that all behave in a manner that meets ELITE COMPANIES standards. The Subcontractor is financially responsible for all costs incurred by ELITE COMPANIES necessary to replace said safety equipment and hereby waive any no�fica�on requirements.

Personal Protec+ve Equipment (1926.95)

Our Subcontractors must provide and assure proper use of appropriate protec�ve equipment, including, but not limited to personal protec�ve equipment for the eyes, hands, face, head, feet, torso, and extremi�es. Addi�onally, appropriate protec�ve clothing and respirator devices, must be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary condi�on.

1. Head Protec'on: Hard hats are to be worn at all +mes by all employees and visitors. Only our Safety Director or Safety

Consultant can determine when the use of hard hats is no longer required.

2. Hearing Protec'on: Approved hearing protec�on must be used wherever it is required to reduce the exposure to noise levels. Plain coKon is not an acceptable protec�ve device.

3. Eye Protec'on: ANSI approved safety glasses must be worn at all �mes. Eye protec�on with clear lenses is required for interior or low light work (or goggles as warranted).

4. Respiratory Protec'on: When engineering is not affec�ve our Subcontractors will provide appropriate NIOSH approved respirators to protect the health of their employees. These respirators must be designed to protect the employee against the specific hazard and the employee must be trained in the proper use and care of the respirator.

5. Foot Protec'on: In most cases, work boots or work shoes are to be worn at all �mes and during all phases of construc�on.

In certain applica�ons (working in wet concrete or on sloped roof), with permission of our Site Project Manager, this rule may be waived for a short amount of �me.

6. Clothing: The wearing of loose, dangling clothing is prohibited. Long, full length, pants and shirts with 4” sleeves are required at all �mes.

2. Exposure to Falling Loads: No employee will be permiKed underneath loads handled by liWing or digging equipment.

3. Cau�on tape, barricades or other approved marking must be used around the perimeter of any excava�on.

Fall Protection (1926.500)

1 “Competent Person is defined as one capable of recognizing safety hazards and with the authority to take whatever action is necessary to immediately abate Safety hazards.”

ELITE COMPANIES | 211 E. Water Street Suite 201 | Kalamazoo, MI 49007

ELITE COMPANIES believes that the use of a conven�onal means of fall protec�on provides a superior form of protec�on and is required at all our construc�on sites where the walking or working surface is six (6) feet or more above a lower level. However, if the conven�onal means are infeasible or create a greater hazard, an alterna�ve means of fall protec�on may be use. This alterna�ve must be site specific, in wri�ng and pre-approved by our Safety Commi'ee before it may be implemented.

Our Subcontractor’s Competent Person for fall protec*on is responsible for establishing and monitoring of their employee’s fall protec*on and must be registered in our Project Manager office.

Each Subcontractor is responsible for replacement of safety rails that are removed or damaged in connec�on with his own work and is responsible for safety viola�ons created by such removal or damage. Handrails shall never be removed without our Site Project Manager permission. Should any Subcontractor or employee of a Subcontractor not replace safety rails or posts, which have been removed, that employee shall be expelled from the job site immediately upon the direc�on of our

Project Manager. Further, the Subcontractor is financially responsible for all costs incurred by ELITE COMPANIES necessary to replace said safety railing and hereby waive any no�fica�on requirements. Should safety railing not be installed in an area where this Subcontractor is currently working, it is the Subcontractor’s responsibility to ensure that his workmen are properly �ed off and otherwise adequately protected.
