Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, as well as this contract, impose the responsibility upon you to ensure that the working conditions are not unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to your employees’ health and safety.

The contractor shall provide chain saw chaps to each employee who operates a chain saw, at no cost to the employee. These chaps must be approved by an Underwriters Laboratory or meet Forest Service specification 6170-47. The chaps shall cover the full length of the thigh and shall extend to the top of the boot on each leg.

The contractor shall assure that each employee wears foot protection that provides adequate traction and ankle support. Employees operating chain saws shall wear foot protection that is constructed with cut-resistant material which will protect the employee against contact with a running chain saw.

In any area where the worker is exposed to the potential for flying or falling objects, the contractor shall provide a hard hat, at no cost to the employee, and the contractor shall assure that the employee wears the hard hat. The hard hat must meet the minimum requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z89.1-1997.

The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, eye protection where there is potential for eye injury due to flying objects. This eye protection must meet the minimum requirements of

Shasta Trinity NF Salt Fire Road Repair Page 17 of 50

ANSI standard Z87.1-2003. The contractor shall provide, at no cost to the employee, hearing protection where there is a potential for hearing loss due to high intensity noise for example, chain saw operation.

Injury Notification Injuries to workers will be reported promptly to the COR and appropriate contractor personnel. Emergency care for workers while on the job site is a contractor responsibility.

Accident Reporting Report any accidents to the contract COR and CO as soon as possible. Maintain an accurate record of all work-related accidents resulting in death, injury, occupational disease, or damage to property, materials, supplies, or equipment.
