B. Security Plan:

1. The security plan defines both physical and administrative security procedures that will remain effective for the entire duration of the project.

2. The General Contractor is responsible for assuring that all sub-contractors working on the project and their employees also comply with these regulations.

C. Security Procedures:

1. Secure all construction areas, especially mechanical and electrical rooms against entry of unauthorized individuals including patients.
