E-3 SUBCONTRACTOR COMMITMENTS, EXPECTATIONS, & INTEGRATED SAFETY

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

3.1 CONTRACTOR is committed to implementing an Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) that promotes the company’s core values and the principles set forth by the DOE. The objective of ISMS is to systematically integrate ES&H protection into management and work practices at all levels so that workers, the public, and the environment are protected while assigned projects are accomplished.

3.2 SUBCONTRACTOR employees shall have the right and obligation to report unsafe conditions, at-risk behaviors, interrupt or cease work without fear of reprisal, request a potential hazard to be evaluated, or request additional training. No SUBCONTRACTOR employee shall be asked to complete a task that the employee reasonably believes is unsafe or that will endanger the environment.

3.3 In performing work under this subcontract, the SUBCONTRACTOR shall perform work safely, in a manner that ensures adequate protection for employees, the public, and the environment, and shall be accountable for the safe performance of work. The SUBCONTRACTOR shall exercise a degree of care commensurate with the work and the associated hazards. The SUBCONTRACTOR shall ensure that management of ES&H functions and activities becomes an integral but visible part of the SUBCONTRACTOR's work planning and execution processes. The SUBCONTRACTOR shall, in the performance of work, ensure that:

3.3.1 Line management is responsible for the protection of employees, the public, and the environment. Line management includes those SUBCONTRACTOR employees managing or supervising employees performing work.

3.3.6 Engineering and administrative controls to prevent and mitigate hazards are tailored to the work being performed and associated hazards. Emphasis should be on designing the work and/or controls to reduce or eliminate the hazards and to prevent accidents and unplanned releases and exposures.

3.3.7 The conditions and requirements to be satisfied prior to operations starting are established and agreed- upon by the CONTRACTOR and SUBCONTRACTOR. These agreed upon conditions and requirements are binding requirements upon the SUBCONTRACTOR. The extent of documentation and level of authority for agreement shall be tailored to the complexity and hazards associated with the work.

3.4 The SUBCONTRACTOR shall manage and perform work in accordance with a documented Safety Management Program that fulfills all conditions of this clause including ISMS requirements listed in 3.4.1 through 3.4.5 of this section. Documentation of the Program shall describe how the SUBCONTRACTOR will:

3.4.1 Define the scope of work

3.4.2 Identify and analyze hazards associated with the work

Any Stop Work Order issued by the CONTRACTOR under this clause (or issued by the SUBCONTRACTOR to a lower-tier SUBCONTRACTOR) shall be without prejudice to any other legal or contractual rights of the Government. In the event that the CONTRACTOR issues a Stop Work Order, an order authorizing the resumption of the work may be issued at the discretion of the CONTRACTOR.

The SUBCONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to an extension of time or additional fee or damages by reason of, or in connection with, any work stoppage ordered in accordance with this clause.
