Contractors must contact TYADs OPSEC Officer to schedule OPSEC Level I Initial training. Initial training may not be “read and initial”.

(2) Continuous (annual) OPSEC awareness training. OPSEC awareness training must be continually provided to the workforce, reemphasizing the importance of sound OPSEC practices.

OPSEC Level I Continuous (annual) training is available at the following website:

https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/opsec/index.htm

The contractor shall submit OPSEC Level I Continual (annual) certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee, to the COR within 10 calendar days after completion of training. Completion of training will be documented on ELTY 583, TYAD On-Post Training Record or contractor equivalent.

OPSEC Countermeasures. The specific OPSEC countermeasures that follow are intended to eliminate or mitigate vulnerabilities. Complying with established security policies and procedures also supports the overall OPSEC objective. All personnel (Soldiers, civilians, and contractors) at every level are required to protected critical information that could potentially be exploited by adversaries. The following OPSEC https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/opsec/index.htm countermeasures support the protection of critical information identified in TYADs OPSEC Level I training, TYADs Critical Information List, and they are required to be implemented by everyone in all day-to-day activities.

S1.0 THE CONTRACTOR IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR JOB- SITE

SAFETY

1. Review of the project plans and other documents by any government appointed official does not constitute an acceptance of Federal responsibility or liability for the adequacy of the safety measures identified for the job or for the Contractor's compliance with all applicable safety rules and regulations.

2. The Contractor remains solely responsible and liable for job-site safety at all times during the term of the contract. No outside personnel (other than ET, COR, TYAD Safety, or other government appointed contract personnel) are allowed onto the job site at any time during contract without prior permissions and/or escort by the ET, COR or KO.

3. Tobyhanna Army depot has restrictions on the use of fossil fuels in all buildings.

When it is determined that electric or other alternatively fueled vehicles are insufficient or unavailable for movement of material within the buildings on the installation, fossil-fueled vehicles can be used only when all alternatives of accepted electric material movement equipment have been considered, and the last option is use of a fossil fuel vehicle or project failure. This includes any situations where safety of employees and equipment may be jeopardized. Convenience will never be an acceptable justification to utilize fossil-fueled vehicles. The Government Designated Representative (GDR) will notify the appropriate supervisor(s) or leader(s) in the area where the need to utilize a fossil fuel vehicle is required. The supervisor / leader will take the necessary steps to notify the employees in the work area of the option to leave the area during the material movement process. The GDR and Contractor will also document all actions the Contractor took to utilize electric or other alternatively fueled vehicles. The documentation will specifically state why electric or alternatively fueled vehicles are insufficient and all mitigation efforts used to minimize the effects of fossil-fueled vehicles to include information as to any appropriate scrubbers that can be utilized along with any ventilation or exhaust systems that can be used to externally vented to the outside of the facility.

The documentation must be submitted to the TYAD Safety office for approval prior to any equipment being used. A final copy of the Approved documentation will be provided to the TYAD Safety Division.
