All treatment areas within or adjacent to public recreation sites shall be posted appropriately for a minimum of 48 hours during and following treatment to notify users of the presence of the herbicides. Spraying and inspections will not take place on weekends unless approved by the Facility Manager or COR of the Area where the project is located.

This approval shall be in writing prior to work.

(Attached for your information and use is CESO Checklist A-01. This checklist was developed to assist you in the development of a site-specific Abbreviated Accident Prevention Plan. This checklist is provided as a tool only.)

Contractor Risk Management Process. Contractor may use Job Safety analyses (JSAs), Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) or Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) for the purpose of risk assessment. Before beginning each work activity Contractor performing that work activity shall prepare an initial assessment (AHA/JSA/JHA) listing each job step, anticipated hazards, site conditions, equipment, materials, personnel and control measures to be implemented. A Risk Assessment Code (RAC) shall be assigned to each step assessing the level of risk remaining after implementation of controls. Once this process is complete a RAC will be assigned to the activity as a whole (cannot be lower than the highest step RAC). Residual risk must be communicated to the proper authority for acceptance in order to proceed. It is the Contractor's responsibility to prepare the AHA/JSA/JHA. Analysis with RAC shall be accepted by the GDA and discussed with al engaged in the activity including Contractor, subcontractor(s), and on-site government representative prior to commencement of work. Names of Competent Person(s) and Qualified Person(s) required for a particular activity (e.g., excavation, scaffolding, fall protection, or other activities specified by OSHA and/or EM 385-1-1) shall be identified and included in the AHA/JSA/JHA and proof of their competency/qualification.

NOTES:

Work crews of two or more must have two people holding currently qualifications in First Aid and CPR from the American Red Cross, American Heart Association or a licensed physician. Training must include a hands-on element and the contractor must maintain appropriate First Aid kit on site. Single individuals working alone must have current certification in First Aid as a minimum.

Contractor shall employ a minimum of one Competent Person at each worksite to function as the Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO). The SSHO as a minimum must have completed the 30-hour OSHA Construction or General Industry Safety class or its equivalent as specified in EM 385-1-1 Section 01.A.17.b and have a minimum of 5 years’ experience relative to the work being completed. The SSHO must be on-site at all times work is being performed. SSHO responsibilities may be collateral duty. (Note: SSHO qualification requirements may be waived at the discretion of the USACE District Safety & Occupational Health Office for extremely low risk operations.)

Accident/Mishap Reporting: The Contractor shall report all recordable mishaps to the GDA within 24-hours in accordance with EM 385-1-1 Section 01.D. Accidents shall be investigated to determine causal factors and corrective actions shall be implemented. Accidents resulting in: days away injuries, days away illnesses, restricted/transfer injuries, property damage of $5,000.00 or more shall be investigated and reported to the GDA using the USACE Accident Investigation Report Form ENG 3394 within 24 hours of the occurrence.

(1) Immediate notification to the GDA is required for all serious accidents:

a. Fatal Injury/illness;

b. Permanent totally disabling injury/illness;

c. Permanent partial disabling injury/illness;

d. One (1) or more persons hospitalized as inpatients as a result of a single occurrence;

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.

(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
