About this file

This document is Attachment B, which provides rules and guidelines for contractors working in historic buildings managed by the National Park Service (NPS). The key details include:

The rules prohibit activities that could damage museum objects, such as bringing in food/drink, smoking, touching artifacts, and using historic furniture or fixtures. Contractors must protect surfaces and obtain approval for any alterations to historic structures. Hot work, electrical use, and hazardous materials have specific restrictions and require coordination with NPS staff. Contractors must be escorted at all times and follow NPS instructions in case of emergencies. Parking is limited, and trash removal and work hours require prior arrangement. These guidelines aim to preserve the historic integrity of the buildings while enabling necessary contractor work.

Attachment B

RULES FOR CONTRACTORS IN HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Food, drink, or gum chewing are not permitted in the historic buildings. Debris and staining left behind can permanently damage museum objects. Smoking is not permitted. Do not attempt to move or touch anything in the museum. Museum objects are too weak for functional use. We do not use historic sinks, bathrooms, ladders, chairs, or tables. Alternate work hours are subject to approval. Please review your daily work plans at your morning meeting with the assigned NPS staff member.

Any alteration to a historic structure such as a hole, insertion of a nail or bracket, an alteration of a trim or surface must first be approved by the NPS to ensure compliance with the National

Historic Preservation Act.

Protective barriers must be used between your equipment and museum surfaces. Clean blankets and plastic must protect the historic interiors from scratching, dents, and liquid spills. Surfaces of museum objects should not be used for storing tools. Protective barriers in doorways and on floor surfaces must be used to protect plaster or dust from entering into non-work areas.

Tours and museum staff may be entering into your work area. Do not block doorways or emergency exits with your equipment or supplies. Do not set up equipment near fragile objects.

No open flames are permitted in any of the buildings or on the grounds. If you plan to use any equipment that emits heat or creates a spark, you must receive ADVANCED PERMISSION from the NPS. These include use of heat guns, stripping guns, electrical drying tools, heaters, and welding torches. Procedures for hot work are strictly enforced. Work occurring in close proximity to a fire detector or sprinkler pipe that generates heat, dust or debris requires advanced notice in order to prevent accidental activation.

Chemicals and other flammable materials, such as those containing butane or alcohol, cannot be left overnight in the historic buildings and must be stored in a designated safety zone during work hours. MSDS sheets are required for on-site chemicals. Rags must be stored in regulation non-combustible fire canisters. Unless advanced arrangements are made, trash must be removed at the end of each work day.

Electrical service is limited in historic buildings. Arrangements must be made in advance to use electrical equipment. Electrical equipment must be in satisfactory shape, including no use of frayed or damaged extension cords. Do not leave construction lights or equipment on or plugged in while unattended.

A National Park Service employee must escort you at all times when in the buildings. This is a standard policy that applies to all guests and visitors at the site. Please notify the NPS of any injuries or safety issues that arise during your work day.

Have your fire extinguisher handy and know your emergency exits in case of an emergency.

Follow instructions from NPS staff when an alarm sounds.

Parking is limited. Consult the NPS for guidelines.
