QF110KSC, KSC General Hazards Familiarization (3-years) QF140BKSC VAB Orientation Training High Bays 3 & 4 (3-years) QG012KSC, General PSM - Process Safety Management (1-year) QG013KSC, SLS Limited Rights Training (No Expiration) QG014KSC, Class 1, Division 2 Familiarization (3-years) QE-WBT-243, Cleanliness & Contamination Control Overview (1-year) QE-WBT-244, Control of Foreign Object Debris (1-year) KSC-QG07CKSC, Escape Only Respirator (EOR) (1-year, Live Training

Only—Schedule through COR) QG015KSC Flight Hardware Awareness For Vehicle Proximity (1-year) QF135KSC ML Area Access Orientation (3-year) QF140AKSC VAB Facility Orientation Perimeter (3-year) ITS-021-001, Cybersecurity and Sensative Unclassified Information

Awareness Course (1- year)

The above training applies to all personnel (civil servant or contractor) at KSC requiring unescorted access to the VAB. All of the above training is expected to take less than 11 hours per person. Lack of completion of the above training at the required interval prior to expiration will result in denial of unescorted access to the VAB. As noted in KSC 52.204-96, it is the contractor’s responsibility to keep training records of all personnel and have required training completed prior to expiration for each person. Additionally, it typically takes 48-hours for training to update in the area access system, which sometimes results in temporary revocation of access.

Importantly, the government does not provide escorts for contractor personnel. The contractor is responsible for properly escorting personnel in compliance with security procedures. As noted above, a person granted “unescorted temporary area access” may escort up to five (5) personnel who have been issued “to be escorted temporary area access.” The escorted personnel must remain in visual contact with the escort at all times, within reason (for example, the escorted personnel may use a restroom or work in a confined space with single entry like an electrical manhole, while the escort remains directly outside). Repeated reports of improperly escorted personnel by security personnel typically results in revocation of “unescorted temporary area access” for the escort and possible disciplinary actions.

DRIVING WITHIN THE VAB – OFFICIAL BUSINESS ONLY

Individuals visiting the VAB for meetings shall park in the employee parking lot. Non-government vehicles on official business that need to enter the VAB perimeter shall coordinate entry prior to arrival with the VAB Operations Center or contact the VAB Operations Center upon arrival through the access control monitor at the gate. The VAB Operations Center will only allow access for authorized work. All non-government vehicles entering through the VAB perimeter shall have a name of the company prominently displayed.

The contractor may be required, by direction from the contracting officer or COR, to perform additional walk downs, to support VAB operations and ensure the construction area is free from FOD.

NOISE RESTRICTIONS FOR THE VAB

During certain operations, the government may prohibit activities which generate high levels of noise in the interior of the VAB, such as pneumatic tools and chipping. The duration of restrictions will be as necessary to avoid interference with sensitive operations and may be as short as an hour or may be for the entire work day. The nature and duration of planned sensitive operations is discussed at the daily VAB coordination meeting. The government will provide as much advance notice as possible regarding these noise restrictions, but the schedules vary and the restrictions may be put into effect with as little as one hour notice. It is the responsibility of the contractor to attend the daily meetings and plan accordingly for noise restrictions.

USE OF VAB ELEVATORS

The VAB facility houses elevators in each high bay tower. Contractor use of these elevators shall be coordinated with, and subject to the restrictions/approval of the Contracting Officer. When using the elevators for moving materials and tools, the contractor shall provide protection for the interior of elevators.
