C. Provide personal safety equipment and training commensurate with the hazards which may exist at the work site. The personal safety equipment and training shall be determined by a thorough

SUMMARY OF WORK 011000 - 5

hazard analysis of all work site areas. The safety program available at all work sites shall include a minimum of:

1. One nonfreezing-type fire extinguisher in the construction area and in each workshop and shed used for storage of materials at the work site. Place in location readily accessible to construction personnel.

2. A first aid kit for use of construction personnel commensurate with size of project with items necessary for first aid treatment of all injuries.

3. The Contractor shall conduct regular onsite safety inspections and all construction personnel shall receive a safety orientation.

4. Post telephone numbers of nearest hospital, ambulance service or flight for life, and fire station in conspicuous location. Advise all workers of location of telephone numbers.

A. The Contractor shall abate and control all environmental pollution arising from construction activities by complying with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations concerning environmental pollution control and abatement, as well as the specified requirements in this contract. Compliance with this requirement by subcontractors will be the responsibility of the Contractor.

B. Fossils and Artifacts

1. Should the Contractor discover any fossils or artifacts during construction operations, such objects shall become the property of the Government.

Construction operations may proceed in other areas not affected by this clause. Care shall be exercised by the Contractor not to damage fossils or artifacts uncovered during excavation operations.

2. Failure to comply with this requirement may be considered a violation of the Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 as amended. Destruction of historic and prehistoric sites and/or unauthorized collection of cultural materials can result in criminal and/or civil penalties. Penalties can include fines, prison sentences, and/or confiscation of equipment.

3.

The Contractor shall dispose of all pollutants such as petroleum products, rubbish, cement, concrete, etc., and objectionable material shall be hauled away in tanks or barrels or buried in an approved landfill.

3. Sanitary facilities, such as chemical toilets shall be located far enough from wells, live streams, or ponds to prevent pollution of the water.

4. Dewatering work for structure foundations or earthwork operations adjacent to, or encroaching on, streams or watercourses shall be conducted in a manner which prevents muddy water and eroded materials from entering the streams or water courses. This shall be accomplished by construction of intercepting ditches, bypass channels, barriers, settling ponds, or other approved means. Excavated material shall not be placed in, or adjacent to, watercourses where it can be washed away by high water or storm runoff.

E. Environmental Litigation: Time lost due to work stoppage because of failure of the Contractor to comply with these requirements may not be the subject of a claim for extension of time, for additional costs, or damages.
