TYPE WORK: Software Engineering and Technology Support (SSTS) PREPARED BY: Roger Hoffmann, OO-ALC/SE, DSN 777-3972

SECTION I - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Safety Program Requirements.

In context with AFMC Acquisition Reform initiatives, contract language will now focus on ensuring safety objectives are met through contractor risk management rather than the traditional method of providing specific government guidance for risk elimination. With this new “performance-based” language, the government will provide the contractor with areas of concern (Protection of government personnel and property) and the contractor will be free to meet those objectives in a manner that is consistent with corporate standards. The contractor will implement a safety program plan that ensures protection of Government personnel and property. The program will consist of, as a minimum:

1. Mishap reporting, as defined in paragraph B1 below.

2. Per AFPAM 91-210, para 6.4, due to non-hazardous nature of work, a Safety Plan and corresponding site specific checklist is not required.

3. Routine and recurring surveillance to ensure the safety requirements of this contract are enforced.

4. Competent personnel to provide surveillance of the Safety Plan.

5. Identification of segregated work site locations for operations that cannot be co-mingled with general industrial operations and the process for ACO approval of operations and changes at these specific sites.

6. All contractor personnel shall be trained and qualified to perform their duties safely.

7. The contractor shall include a clause in all subcontracts requiring the subcontractors to comply with the safety provisions of this contract, as applicable.

B. Mishap Notification

1. The contractor shall notify OO-ALC Safety (Phone (801) 777-3972) who in turn will notify 75 ABW/SEG ((801) 777-3333) or OO-ALC Operations Center ( (801) 777-3238), or the Hill AFB Command Post (777-3007) after normal duty hours, and the designated Government Representative, i.e., the ACO, PCO, or QAE within one (1) hour of all mishaps or incidents at or exceeding $2,000 (material + labor) in damage to DOD property entrusted by this contract, even if the government is wholly or partially reimbursed. This notification requirement shall also include physiological mishaps/incidents. A written or email copy of the mishap/incident notification shall be sent within three calendar days to the GR, who will forward it to OO-ALC Safety. For information not available at the time of initial notification, the contractor shall provide the remaining information no later than 20 calendar days after the mishap, unless extended by the ACO. (CDRL 0009) Mishap notifications shall contain, as a minimum, the following information:

(a) Contract, Contract Number, Name and Title of Person(s) Reporting

(b) Date, Time and exact location of accident/incident

(c) Brief Narrative of accident/incident (Events leading to accident/incident)

(d) Cause of accident/incident, if known

(e) Estimated cost of accident/incident (material and labor to repair/replace)

(f) Nomenclature of equipment and personnel involved in accident/incident

(g) Corrective actions (taken or proposed)

(h) Other pertinent information

2. Ensure government contract lease agreements determine convening authority prior to executing the contract/lease agreements, and that all contracts ensure the following, IAW AFI 91-204, paragraph 2.4.6:

· The contractor will support and comply with the safety investigation and report requirements of AFI 91-204

· A record of all mishaps involving Air Force resources will be entered into the Air Force reporting system

· A record of mishaps involving other DoD resources will be forwarded to the involved agencies

· When a mishap involves a contract managed by DCMA, DCMA safety personnel will review the final safety report and send their response to HQ AFSC

3. Ensure contract/lease agreements for aerospace vehicles state: The Air Force is responsible for the investigation of mishaps involving aerospace vehicles. The Air Force is authorized to investigate mishaps involving non-accepted Air Force aerospace vehicles (Non-delivered vehicles for which the government has accepted responsibility; DD Form 250. Material Inspection and Receiving Report, HAS NOT been executed).

4. If requested by authorized government personnel (ACO, PCO, QAE, safety representative, Fire Department, and Security Forces), the contractor shall immediately secure the mishap scene/damaged property and impound pertinent maintenance and training records, until released by safety investigators.

C. General Safety Requirements:

Follow all applicable federal, USAF, state, and local safety directives outlined in Section II below.

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.

Contractor personnel must receive Explosive Safety Awareness Training if their duties require entry into the Explosive Clear Zone. This training will be provided by the OO-ALC Safety Office.

For emergencies on Hill AFB contact 911 ask to be transferred to Hill AFB 911 to report any emergency.

The authorized Government Representative (309 MXW Safety Office) shall approve the contractor’s procedures within the Health and Safety Plan as meeting the intent of the below referenced standards, with the exception of Mishap Notification /Reporting Procedures, which are outlined in Section I, paragraph B of this Appendix C.
