Safety Practices and Guidelines. The Contractor shall conform to all federal OSHA standards applicable to the work performed and all safety practices and guidelines contained within this Statement of Work. Contractor shall strictly adhere to the contract clause entitled “Accident Prevention”, FAR, National Park Service Safety and Occupational Health Regulation RM 50B, 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1926/1910, other related Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulations (49 CFR), and all local policies.

If a contractor employee is observed performing an activity in a manner inconsistent with any of the above cited regulations or is engaged in any activity that is dangerous to life, limb, or government property, the Local/Regional Safety Representative shall have the authority to notify the employee and/or the contractor’s on-site supervisor of the hazardous activity and require correction of the hazardous activity. This authority does not preclude the Safety Representative from notifying the Contracting Representative of the hazardous condition or safety violation in appropriate situations. If necessary, the Local/Regional Safety Representative shall have the authority on behalf of the City Contracting Representative to require the contractor and/or its employee to stop work until corrective action is taken to eliminate a hazardous condition or safety violation. Said action shall not be considered to be the basis of a claim and shall be at no additional cost.

Contractor and subcontractors will notify Local and Regional Safety Office immediately of Reports of Inspections and/or Notices of Violation or other enforcement actions (including warning letters) received from by local, State, and Federal Regulators in which the violation is attributed to the action of the contractor or its subcontractors while working or providing services on Fort Carson property. Contractor and subcontractors will provide Fort Carson Representative with a copy of the Inspection Reports, Notice of Violations or other enforcement action, and all supporting documentation with in 7 workings of receipt of the notice from the regulator. Contractor will provide with in 10 days after contract award all Inspections, Reports of Inspection, Notices of Violation or warnings from any federal, state or local regulator. Contractor shall provide with in 10 days after contract award their past three years of accident and injury data in the form of OSHA 300 logs as well as the year end OSHA log that is posted in the contractors work area IAW OSHA Record keeping Standard.

DESIGN (ERGONOMICS)

All parts, components, mechanisms, and assemblies furnished on the Item/Equipment, whether or not required herein, shall meet or exceed all requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910. Covers, guards, shielding, or other safety devices shall be provided.

Interlock switches. The Item/Equipment shall be provided with interlock switches for removing all power from the equipment when service doors that provide access to hazardous voltages are opened.

Dials. All dials used to indicate power (watts), amperage, voltage, and related electrical functions shall have independent zero adjustment and shall be permanently and legibly engraved or etched on a non-glare background with graduations that can be read from the operator's normal operating position.

Controls. All mechanical and pneumatic operating controls shall be located convenient optimum locations to the operator's workstation. Controls shall positioned to avoid operator awkward postures/positions, repetitive motions, excessive force, undue stretching, compression/contact stresses against portions of body, vibration, temperature and the operators requirement to maintain any of these recognized ergonomic risk factors for any extended period of time. Design shall incorporate these features for both operations and maintenance tasks under both normal and emergency situations.

Safety devices. Audio or Visual Safety interlocks and fail-safe features shall be incorporated into the system. Visual safety interlocks shall be positioned at optimum locations for the operator to see without obstructions during normal operations.

Maintenance. All major assemblies and installed attachments shall be optimally located for immediate accessibility for maintenance, inspection, and repair utilizing common tools under both normal and emergency situations. The inspection, adjustment, repair, and replacement of components and accessories shall be accomplished with minimum requirements and minimum disturbance to other components and accessories of the system. Contractor shall furnish all special tools with machine, if required to perform maintenance, repair, or removal and installation of any of the system components. Instructions for disassembly, repair, re-assembly, and adjustment shall be clear, concise and definitive.

Accessibility. All parts subject to wear, breakage, or distortion and all parts which require periodic lubrication or maintenance shall be readily accessible for adjustment, replacement, and lubrication as applicable. Maximum accessibility shall be provided to parts that require scheduled maintenance. The configuration of the system shall be such that removal of operational parts shall not be necessary to permit accessibility for maintenance inspection and repair and place the operator or maintenance personnel in unsafe or hazardous situations.

Construction. All parts and necessary equipment shall be functionally suitable for the purpose intended. System shall be ergonomically designed for the operator to avoid awkward postures/positions, repetitive motion, excessive force, undue stretching, compression/contact stress against portions of body, vibration, temperature and the operator’s requirement to maintaining any of these recognized ergonomic risk factors for any extended period of time.

Control station. All control elements required for system setup and run operations shall be contained in an operator's control station. This station shall be located at a position convenient for normal system operations. All keys, dials, vacuum indicators, and switches shall be functionally grouped. An emergency stop shall be readily accessible at the control station and easily identifiable as to its function.

All video display terminals, keyboards, and hardware shall be ergonomically designed when feasible and positioned at optimal locations for their intended purpose based on human capabilities and characteristics.
