C. General Safety Requirements:

If the safety plan is modified, the contractor shall submit the proposed modification, in writing, to the Contract Administration Office safety representative.

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, Air Force Occupational Safety and Health Standards (AFOSH STD), to include AFI 91-203, Air Force Consolidated Occupational Safety Instruction, AFI 91-204, Safety investigations Reports, AFPAM 91-210, Contract Safety, and the protection of their employees. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for the safety and health of all subcontractor employees. All documents required as a result of OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 regulations, (i.e. certifications, training, respiratory protection program, workplace hazard assessments), shall be made available to the COR upon request.

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.

Hazard Assessment. In accordance with 1910.132(d)(2), the contractor shall conduct a certified Hazard Assessment on all work areas. A follow-on survey shall be conducted by the contractor when the workload or environment conditions change. If respirators are necessary to protect the health of the employee or whenever respirators are required by the contractor, the contractor employer shall establish and implement a written respiratory protection program according to 29CFR 1910.134.

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. Contact Eric Covington at 586-0168.

A Risk Assessment will be required prior to any work being accomplished, if munitions will remain in the facility.

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