Accident Prevention Plan Disclaimer

This Accident Prevention Plan (APP) has been designed for the methods presently contemplated by BFS Federal Services LLC (BFS) for execution of proposed work. Therefore, the APP may not be appropriate if the work is not performed by or using the methods presently contemplated by BFS. In addition, as the work is performed, conditions different from those anticipated may be encountered, and the APP may have to be modified. Therefore, BFS only makes representations or warranties as to the adequacy of the APP for currently anticipated activities and conditions. This plan was originally prepared for the preceeding contract for Point Loma operation and maintenace. The contract awarded to BFS (SPE603-18-D-5007) required that BFS review and update the original HSP. This document is a result of that review and update.
