SAFETY STANDARS

The contractor must fulfill all the safety legal requirements according to the D.Lgs. 81/2008 Testo Unico sulla Salute e Sicurezza nei Luoghi di Lavoro. The objective is to avoid or in any case to reduce to the minimum the workers’ exposure to risks associated with work activities. Therefore the contractor is expected to deliver the Risk Assessment Document (Documento Valutazione Rischi, DVR) or the Operational Safety Plan (Piano Operativo di Sicurezza, POS) when required, to provide trainings to the laborers, to supply individual and collective protective equipment and to comply with all the other requirements disciplined by the D.Lgs. 81/08.

In the solicitation process set up by the Contracting Officer Representative (RUP), to verify the professional technical suitability, the Embassy asks the offerors a statement

- 4 – on the average annual workforce and on collective bargaining agreement (Contratto di lavoro) applied to employees, the details of the workers' complaints made to INPS, INAIL and Casse Edili.

In the case of private works, no permission from construction and the amount of the work less than € 100,000, the verification of the suitability of the company is simplified and is considered satisfied through the presentation by the company of the certificate of registration in the Chamber of Commerce, Industry e Handicraft and the Single Document of Regularity Contribution (DURC), accompanied by self-certification in order to meet the other requirements set out in Annex XVII of the Local Consolidated Law on Finance.

The contractor shall submit with the offer a preliminary safety plan that must take into account all kind of work to be performed within the project being solicited.

The plan must be detailed sufficiently to let the team evaluating the offers that the contractor had understood correctly the nature of the work and its own typical risks, and therefore, had evaluated the relevant costs in their proposal.

The Preliminary Safety Plan must contain:

- For each sequence of work a brief description of the related risks.

- For each sequence of work brief description of the practices, the measures, the individual and collective protection devices that will be adopted by the company in order to respond, minimizing the highlighted risks.

- For each sequence of work a cost-analysis of the selected measures.

The estimate must be congruous, analytical for single items, per unit or per measure.

After the tender closure, the company entitled to the work must submit a detailed Operational Safety Plan (Piano Operativo di Sicurezza) at least 15 days before starting the operations.

The safety plan submitted must clearly identify the professional figures as follows:

"DIRETTORE TECNICO DI CANTIERE" The construction site technical director is the person who manages for the contractor the construction site. This role can be played by both an employee of the company and by an external professional, with a specific and formal assignment. The figure of the technical director of the construction site must not be confused with that of the construction manager, who is instead appointed by the client and checks that the works are carried out in accordance with the provisions of project and related specifications.

"PREPOSTO" an individual who is identified for the functions he/she performs and is therefore comparable to what with other terms is indicated as site manager, workshop manager, department head, office manager, etc. He/she must also be trained to be able to perform the functions attributed to him, as indicated in art. 19 letter g) of paragraph 1 and according to the objectives set by art. 37 of D.Lgs. 81/08.
