SECTION I - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Safety Program Requirements.

1. Comply with all safety and health requirements necessary for the protection of personnel, facilities and equipment including, but not limited to, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, while performing this contract at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Rome Research Site (RRS), Rome NY. It is the contractor’s sole responsibility to make certain that all safety requirements are met.

2. Maintain a written safety program for compliance with the applicable OSHA standards, and make said program available for review by the Government upon request by the Contracting Officer.

3. In the event of a mishap, or a “near miss”, during the performance of this contract at AFRL RRS, notify the Contracting Officer or the DET 4 Safety Office in an expeditious manner. Written notification shall be provided to the Contracting Officer (who will forward a copy to the DET 4 Safety Office) within 72 hours and shall include the following information (Air Force Form 978 Supervisors Mishap Report may be used):

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

b. Date, Time and exact location of accident/incident

c. Detailed narrative of accident/incident (events leading to accident/incident, answer who, what, when, where, and how)

d. Cause of accident/incident (if known)

e. Type of injuries resulting from the accident/incident and estimated cost of accident/incident (material and labor to replace/repair)

f. Nomenclature of equipment involved in accident/incident

g. Personnel involved in accident/incident

h. Corrective Actions (taken or proposed)

i. Other pertinent information

4. AFRL RRS uses a Safety and Health Management System to implement and manage its safety programs. A SHMS is a systematic approach to managing safety and health activities by integrating occupational safety and health programs, policies, and objectives into organizational policies and procedures. Simply stated, a SHMS is a set of safety and health program components that interact in an organized way. An effective SHMS consists of five critical elements that apply safety and health management practices of employers who have been successful in protecting the safety and health of their employees. All contractors are required to familiarize themselves with the requirements of a SHMS. An example of a SHMS is OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). Detailed information on VPP is available at the OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/dcsp/vpp/index.html. On-site contractors are required to attend a Local Conditions Course as part of in-processing at AFRL RRS.

SECTION II - SAFETY PLAN ELEMENTS

The contractor prepared Safety Plan shall clearly define procedures, personnel qualifications, facilities, required equipment, and other attributes necessary to fulfill the following elements. Each attribute shall meet or exceed the referenced benchmarks.

2.0 PRODUCTS: (This section not Used).

3.0 EXECUTION:

3.1 Submittals: Procedures proposed for the accomplishment of a1l demolition and salvage work, including a detailed description of the methods and equipment to be used for each operation and the scheduled sequence of operations, shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval. Operations which involve interruption of utility services or the handling of toxic or hazardous materials shall be scheduled and approved by the Contracting Officer or designated representative at least 48 hours prior to the start of such operations. Weight tickets for all waste disposal generated during a project must be provided to the Environmental Office.

3.2 Clearances and Permits: Obtain as required from local authorities.

3.3 Salvage: Title to all materials and equipment to be demolished is vested in the Government. All recyclable metals shall be considered salvageable. The Environmental Office shall provide appropriately sized containers to collect salvageable scrap metal. Unsalvageable materials shall be disposed of as directed by the Contracting Officer. Materials and equipment for Government salvage or reuse shall be carefully removed and delivered to a storage site designated by the Contracting Officer or designated representative.

3.4 Protection of Existing Work: All necessary precautions shall be taken to ensure against damage to existing work that is to remain in place or is to remain the property of the Government. Damaged areas shall be repaired or replaced with new products to match existing surrounding surfaces. Shoring, bracing, and supports shall be provided as required and structural elements shall not be overloaded Care shall be taken to prevent unscheduled interruptions to any utility service.

3.5 Protection from Weather: The interior of buildings and all materials and equipment shall be protected from the weather at all times.

3.6 Dust and Dirt Control: Dust and dirt resulting from demolition operations shall be controlled with temporary barriers and enclosures to prevent spread into occupied portions of buildings and to avoid creation of a nuisance to the surrounding area. Use of water will not be permitted when it will result in, or create, hazardous or objectionable conditions such as ice, flooding, and pollution.

3.7 Burning: Burning at the project site for the disposal of refuse and debris will not be permitted.

3.8 Explosives: The use of explosives will not be permitted.

3.9 Hazardous Materials: Extreme care and caution shall be exercised at all times when handling toxic or hazardous materials in order to prevent harm to personnel and property and to prevent environmental contamination.

Federal, state, and local regulations governing handling, transportation, and disposal of such materials shall be rigidly adhered to. Potentially hazardous wastes must be sampled to determine if EPA or NYSDEC hazardous waste thresholds are met. The Environmental Office must be notified when hazardous waste is generated; hazardous waste shall be disposed of IAW with Air Force, EPA, and NYSDEC regulations. Disposal must be coordinated with the Environmental office.

Under no circumstances shall a contractor sign a hazardous waste manifest on behalf of AFRL/RI.

3.10 Utilities: Temporary interruptions, disconnections, and relocation of existing utilities and removal of abandoned utility services shall be as directed by the Contracting Officer.

3.11 Cleanup: Debris and rubbish shall not be allowed to accumulate in buildings or on site. Local regulations regarding hauling and disposal shall be followed.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

a. "Cementitious material" as used herein must include all portland cement, pozzolan, fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, and silica fume.

b. "Exposed to public view" means situated so that it can be seen from eye level from a public location after completion of the building. A public location is accessible to persons not responsible for operation or maintenance of the building.

c. "Chemical admixtures" are materials in the form of powder or fluids that are added to the concrete to give it certain characteristics not obtainable with plain concrete mixes.

d. "Workability (or consistence)" is the ability of a fresh (plastic) concrete mix to fill the form/mould properly with the desired work (vibration) and without reducing the concrete's quality. Workability depends on water content, chemical admixtures, aggregate (shape and size distribution), cementitious content and age (level of hydration).
