27. SAFETY AND HEALTH:

27.1. Applicable Publications: The publications listed below form a part of this specification to the extent referenced. The publications are referred to in the text by basic designation only.

Whenever referenced, the reference is understood to be the MOST CURRENT PUBLICATION.

27.1.1. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

27.1.2. OSHA General Industry Safety and Health Standards (29 CFR 1910) Publication V2206; OSHA

Construction Industry Standards (29 CFR 1926).

27.1.3. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR, Part 61)

27.1.4. Federal Standard (Fed. Std.).

27.1.5. A Material Safety Data Sheets, Preparation and the Submission of Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1.

27.1.6. Use of Asbestos Containing Material, ETL 1110-1-118; Policy & Guidelines for Asbestos Management, DA Circular 40-83-4.

27.1.7. Definition of Hazardous Materials. Refer to hazardous and toxic materials/substances included in Subparts H and Z of 29 CFR 1910, and to others as additionally defined in Fed. Std. 313. Those most commonly encountered include asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), explosives, and radioactive material, but may include others. The most likely products to contain asbestos are sprayed on fireproofing, insulation, boiler lagging, and pipe covering.

27.2. Asbestos:

27.2.1. The Contractor is warned that exposure to airborne asbestos has been associated with four diseases: lung cancer, certain gastrointestinal cancers, pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

27.2.2. Studies indicate there are significantly increased health dangers to persons exposed to asbestos who smoke, and further to family members and other persons who become indirectly exposed as a result of the exposed worker bringing asbestos laden work clothing home to be laundered.

27.2.3. The Contractor is advised that friable and/or non-friable asbestos containing material may be encountered in areas where contract work is to be performed. Friable asbestos containing materials are any materials that contain more than one percent asbestos by weight that hand pressure can crumble, pulverize, or reduce to powder when dry. Non-friable asbestos containing materials are materials in which asbestos fibers are bound by a matrix material, saturant, impregnate or coating. Non-friable asbestos containing materials do not normally release airborne asbestos fiber during routine handling and end use. However, excessive fiber concentrations may be produced during controlled abrading, sanding, drilling, cutting, machining, removing, demolishing, or other similar activities.

27.2.4. Care must be taken to avoid releasing, or causing to be released, asbestos fiber into the atmosphere where they may be inhaled or ingested.

27.2.5. OSHA has set standards at 29 CFR 1926.1101 for exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers, methods of compliance, medical surveillance, housekeeping procedures and measures that must be taken when working with or around asbestos containing materials. 29 CFR 1926 has been identified as applicable to construction. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established standards at 40 CFR 61.140-156 for the control of asbestos emissions to the environment and the handling and disposal of asbestos wastes.

27.2.6. Friable asbestos containing materials are not permitted by current criteria and shall not be used in new construction or modification projects (ETL 1110-1-118, 27 May 83). Plans and specifications for all new construction and modification projects will be reviewed to ensure that friable asbestos containing materials are not used.

27.2.7. Maintenance, modification, or demolition activities where exposure to asbestos dust may occur from previously installed friable or non-friable asbestos containing materials will be identified.

All precautions, to include proper work practices, medical surveillance, respiratory protection, industrial hygiene, and environmental protection requirements of OSHA, EPA, and DA Circular 40-83-4, as applicable, shall be strictly adhered to.

27.3. Safety Assurance:

27.3.1. Safety Meeting. If required, representatives of the Contractor shall meet with the CO prior to task order implementation for the purpose of reviewing the Contractor’s safety and health programs and discussing implementation of all safety and health provisions pertinent to work to be performed under the contract. The Contractor shall be prepared to discuss, in detail, the measures intended to be taken in order to control any unsafe or unhealthy conditions associated with the work to be performed under the contract. This meeting may be held in conjunction with the preconstruction conference, if so directed by the Contracting Officer. The conduct of this meeting is not contingent upon a general preconstruction meeting. The level of detail for the safety meeting is dependent on the nature of the work and the potential inherent hazards. The Contractor’s principal on-site representative(s), the general superintendent, and the safety representative shall attend this meeting.

27.3.2. Compliance with Regulations. All work, including the handling of hazardous materials or the disturbance or dismantling of structures containing hazardous materials shall comply with the applicable requirements of 29 CFR 1926/1910. Work involving the disturbance or dismantling of asbestos or asbestos containing materials, the demolition of structures containing asbestos, and the disposal and removal of asbestos shall also comply with the requirements of 40 CFR, Part 61, subparts A and M; ETL 1110-1-118; and DA Circular 40-83-4. All work shall comply with applicable state and local safety and health requirements. Where there is a conflict between applicable regulations, the most stringent requirement shall apply. The Contractor or any of his subcontractors responsible for handling hazardous or toxic materials shall have the necessary certification(s) before doing so.

27.3.3. Contractor Responsibility. The Contractor shall assume full responsibility and liability for compliance with the applicable regulations pertaining to the health and safety of personnel during the execution of work. The Contractor not shall hold the Government responsible for any action on the part of the Contractor, or that of the Contractor’s employees or subcontractors, which results in illness, injury, or death.

27.3.4. Inspections, Tests and Reports. The inspections, tests, and reports made by the Contractor, subcontractors, specially trained technicians, equipment manufacturers, or others as required by a task order, shall be furnished in accordance with the terms of the task order. A report shall consist of the results of the tests with explanations and recommendations.
