Appendix 1.6.9

1.6.9. Safety: The Contractor Safety and Health Plan shall address in detail the items listed within 1.6.9 as applicable (See CDRL 0011). Repeating the referenced standard without addressing the company’s specific processes or procedures will not suffice. If task specific procedures are incorporated into a company local document, those procedures shall be attached to the submitted Safety and Health Plan. Referencing the company's local procedure/document in the Safety and Health Plan is not adequate. If the company's local procedure/document is not attached, the submitted Safety and Health Plan will be returned UNACCEPTABLE.

1.6.9.1. Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP): The Army is part of the OSHA VPP.

All Contractors shall familiarize themselves with the requirements of VPP. Information on VPP can be accessed at http://www.osha.gov. The intent of the Army Safety Program is to prevent injuries and to communicate our safety expectations with potential offerors as well as those Contractors awarded a Government contract. The Army’s interest is to protect personnel working in or around Contractor operations, and to protect Army equipment/property.

1.6.9.2. Contractor Employees: Compliance with OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of Contractor employees is exclusively the obligation of the Contractor. Note: Army Occupational Safety and Health Standards (AR 385-10) are annotated because many of the Army Standards exceed the OSHA standard criteria. If a conflict is noted, the most stringent requirement takes precedence. The Government shall assume no liability or responsibility for the Contractor's compliance or non-compliance with such requirements. The Contractor shall furnish to each of his/her employees a place of employment, which is free from recognized hazards. The Contractor shall brief his/her employees on the safety requirements of this contract and on hazards associated with prescribed tasks. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with OSHA Public Law and the resultant standards identified within. In addition, the Contractor shall flow down the safety requirements/specification to all sub- Contractors. This applies to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12 commercial acquisitions as well. This contract shall in no way require persons to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsafe or dangerous to their health.

The Contractor shall coordinate and perform work so as not to impact the safety of Government employees or cause damage to Government property. This requires providing personnel with protective equipment and associated safety equipment as may be necessary. The Contractor shall also protect personnel from hazards generated by the work. If there are Contractor employees who are non-fluent English-speakers, the Contractor shall post signs and have written procedures for specific tasks in applicable language(s).

1.6.9.3. Safety Inspections: Army Environmental, Safety, Occupational Health and Fire protection officials, or responsible Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) may periodically enter a Contractor’s workplace to verify working conditions of Army personnel. If an Army employee observes improper procedures or unsafe conditions exists which place Army personnel or equipment/facilities in jeopardy, the Contractor shall remove personnel and/or equipment from the unsafe condition and immediately notify the

Contracting Officer and the Safety Office. Department of Labor OSHA inspectors are authorized right of entry to inspect any place of employment operated by an Army Contractor. They are for the most part, “No Notice” inspections.

Note: Notify the Safety Office at (575)-678-3921/4229 if an OSHA inspector visits your site unescorted by an Army Safety Specialist. Noncompliance with safety requirements can result in work stoppage, inexcusable delays, and/or costly fines issued by the DOL.

The Government shall assume no liability or responsibility for the Contractor's compliance or non-compliance with such requirements. Fines and additional costs for violations levied against the Contractor as a result of OSHA findings, and/or installation safety, fire, health or environmental are the sole responsibility of the Contractor and shall not be passed through to the Government.

1.6.9.4. Mishap Notification: The Contractor shall notify the Safety Office telephonically at (575)-678-3921/4229 during duty hours and (575)- 993-0637 after hours, within four (4) hours after initial notification of all mishaps or incidents for damage to DoD property (material plus labor) entrusted by this contract and employee injuries as a result of the contract operation. For incidents involving death or serious injury resulting loss or potential loss of life, limb, or eyesight of personnel, verbal notification is required immediately with written notification provided within one hour of the verbal notification. A follow-up (written or e-mail) of this mishap/incident notification shall be sent within three calendar days to the Government Representative, the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) or the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) (with a copy to program manager), who will forward it to the Safety Office. The information that is not available at the time of the initial notification shall be provided within 20 calendar days after the mishap. Mishap notification shall contain, at a minimum, the following information:

a. Contract, Contract Number, Name and Title of Person(s) Reporting

The results shall be provided to the Government as soon as available. Contractor must note the following applies: BAC levels have been correlated with impairment, and the legal limit of 0.08 for driving has been set in all states. Under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, a BAC of 0.02 is high enough to stop someone from performing a safety-sensitive task for a specific amount of time (usually between 8 and 24 hours) and a BAC reading of 0.04 or higher is considered to be a positive drug test and requires immediate removal from safety-sensitive functions. Under DOT regulations, a person who tests at the 0.04 BAC level may not resume job duties until a specific return-to-duty process has been successfully completed.

1.6.9.6. Contractor Safety and Health Program: The Contractor shall establish and maintain an acceptable safety and health program. a. Contractor Safety and Health Manager. As part of the Contractor Safety and
