The contractor is solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state and local laws, the Occupational, Safety and Health Act (OSHA) (Public Law 91-596) and the resulting standards, OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910 and 1926, as applicable, and the protection of their employees. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for the safety and health of all subcontractor employees.

The contractor shall ensure assigned personnel are adequately trained and qualified for the task being performed. Brief all personnel on the hazards involved with operations and applicable precautions to be taken. Should unidentified hazards arise, cease operations until actions are taken to eliminate or mitigate hazards to safe levels.

Compliance with OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of contractor employees is exclusively the obligation of the contractor. Note: Air Force

Occupational Safety and Health Standards (AFOSH STD) are annotated because many of the Air

Force Standards exceed the OSHA standard criteria. If a conflict is noted, the most stringent requirement takes precedence. The government shall assume no liability or responsibility for the contractor's compliance or non-compliance with such requirements. The contractor shall furnish to each of his/her employees a place of employment, which is free from recognized hazards. The contractor shall brief his/her employees on the safety requirements of this contract and on hazards associated with prescribed tasks. The contractor is responsible for compliance with

OSHA Public Law and the resultant standards identified within. In addition, the contractor is required to flow down the safety requirements/specification to all subcontractors. This applies to

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12 commercial acquisitions as well. This contract shall in no way require persons to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsafe or dangerous to their health. The contractor must coordinate and perform work so as not to impact the safety of government employees or cause damage to government property. This requires providing personnel with protective equipment and associated safety equipment as may be necessary. The contractor must also protect personnel from hazards generated by the work. If the contractor employs BILINGUAL speaking employees, they must post bilingual signs and have written procedures for specific tasks in applicable languages.
