H-7 SAFETY

Project work environment may include working around machinery, climbing on roofs or scaffolding, dismantling buildings and components, exposure to flying/moving debris, stepping/tripping hazards among demolished/removed materials are part of the inherent hazards of facility maintenance and construction work.

Long drives to project sites via Federal, State and local jurisdiction road systems with varying degrees of maintenance potentially increases Contractor and employee risk of motor vehicle accidents. Public and commercial use of these same road systems adds an additional hazard to Contractor and employee safety. Equipment operation on project sites and contractor traffic is a potentially hazardous condition for public traveling through or adjacent to the construction sites.

Contractors shall provide a project specific safety plan at the post-award conference for all work activities. Safety signing, barricades, fencing, and traffic control in compliance with Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) will be required.

Inherent hazards of working in the Forest include

Traffic hazards Heavy equipment operations Narrow Gravel or native surface forest roads

Long, steep grades (generally less than 20%) Logging & other commercial traffic Visitors not used to forest road driving

Dusty conditions hindering visibility behind vehicles Mixed motorized traffic (ATVs) on some roads Backing into objects High db noise Steep side slopes or soft ground for rollovers Refueling hazards Exceeding equipment limitations Unsafe equipment / lack of safety equipment Operator fatigue Slope or trench wall instability Work environment Truck Driving & Trailer Towing Inclement weather for potential hypo/hyperthermia

High winds that can bring down trees Wet, snowy or ice conditions making ground unstable Insects, plants, animals Increased stopping distance

Load lashing/tie downs coming loose due to rough road Low clearances (power lines) Narrow turnouts & roadways

H-8 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

The contractor will train in the safe operation and use of equipment to all workers using such equipment.

H-9 Suspensions for Other Than Government’s Convenience

The Contracting Officer may issue orders to suspend the work wholly or in part for such period of time as deemed necessary because of: (1) Weather or ground conditions when further prosecution of the work might cause environmental or resource damage to the project, access roads to the project, or adjacent property. Such action would include but not be limited to instances such as siltation of streams, damage to access roads, rutting of project roads which causes otherwise suitable soils to become muddy or unsuitable; or (2) Failure of the Contractor to comply with Specifications such as but not limited to placement of frozen material in fills, placing of asphalts at temperatures lower than those specified, performing work prior to prerequisite approvals, operating equipment not meeting fire requirements, or when conditions exist which do not meet safety requirements. Whether or not a suspend work notice is issued, the Contractor shall be responsible for correcting any damage caused by his/her operation, whether inside or outside project limits, at no cost to the Government. Such suspensions shall not be considered as suspensions for the Convenience of the Government under FAR 52.242-14, Suspension of Work, and shall not qualify for equitable adjustment.
