Type Work: Overhaul Support, Halvorsen Aircraft Cargo Loaders Non-aircraft Weapon System

PART I

Instructions: The contractor Safety and Health Plan (required in accordance with AFI 91-202, AFMC Sup) shall address in detail the items listed in Parts II and III, as applicable. Repeating the referenced standard without addressing the company’s specific processes or procedures will not suffice (i.e., “Comply with AFI 91-202”). If task specific procedures are incorporated into a contractor’s document, those procedures must be attached to the submitted Safety and Health Plan. If the company's local procedure/document is not attached, the submitted Safety Plan will be returned.

All references in this document will use the current version when this document is signed. Specific revisions, dates, etc. are not included within the text due to their dynamic nature.

PART II

1. Environmental, Safety, And Occupational Health (ESOH): The contractor is solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state and local laws, the Occupational, Safety and Health Act (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.

2. Contractor Employees: Compliance with OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of contractor employees is exclusively the obligation of the contractor. Note: The Air Force Occupational Safety, File, and Health Standards (AFMAN 91-203) is frequently 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. In addition, the contractor is required to flow down the safety requirements/specification to all subcontractors. This applies to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 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.

3. Inspections: Air Force Environmental, Safety, Occupational Health and Fire protection officials or responsible Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) may periodically enter a contractor’s workplace to verify working conditions of Air Force personnel. If an Air Force employee observes improper procedures or unsafe conditions exits which place Air Force personnel or equipment/facilities in jeopardy, the contractor will remove personnel and/or equipment from the unsafe condition and immediately notify the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) representative or the Contracting Officer. They, in turn, shall notify the contracting unit’s Safety Office. For AFLCMC this notification can be performed by sending an e-mail to AFLCMC Safety: AFLCMC.SE@us.af.mil .

4. Mishap Notification: The contractor shall notify the DCMA representative of all mishaps or incidents for damage to DoD property (material plus labor) entrusted by this contract and employee injuries as a result of the contract operation. For AFLCMC, DCMA will notify the AFMC Command Center and ask for the AFLCMC/SE Director of Safety within four (4) business hours after initial notification A follow-up (written or e-mail) of this mishap/incident notification shall be sent within three calendar days to the Government Representative, the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) or the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) (with a copy to program manager), who will forward it to the contracting unit’s Safety Office (AFLCMC.SE@us.af.mil). The information that is not available at the time of the initial notification shall be provided within 20 calendar days after the mishap. Final Mishap notification shall contain, as a minimum, the following information:

Note: If requested by Government Personnel (PCO/ACO), the contractor shall immediately secure the mishap scene/damaged property and impound pertinent maintenance and training records, until released by the investigating safety office. If the government investigates the mishap, the contractor and the subcontractors shall cooperate fully and assist the government personnel until the investigation is finalized and closed out.

5. Impoundment Procedures: The contractor shall establish written impoundment procedures, as part of their Safety and Health Plan. Impound data must be included in the Mishap Notification Procedures as applicable. As a minimum, the procedures must address:

6. Contractor Safety and Health Program: The contractor shall establish and maintain an acceptable safety and health program.

a. Contractor Safety and Health Manager. As part of the Contractor Safety and Health Program, the contractor shall assign in their plan, by name, phone number and e-mail, a person who will be the primary point of contact for safety and health issues for the on-site operation.

b. Contractor’s Safety and Health Plan. Contractor shall prepare a safety and health plan in accordance with PART I, PART II, and PART III, incorporating the listed elements in PART II and addressing in detail, as applicable, the items below in PART III of this Appendix.

(1) Government acceptance. The plan must be accepted by the government and will be incorporated into the awarded contract. Should a master safety and health plan remain on file with the contracting unit’s Safety Office, the contractor must ensure that it is current, updated, and includes all elements below. An addendum to the plan must include the processes noted below:

(2) Changes to the Plan. If, during the performance of this contract, changes to the contractor’s Safety and Health Plan are required, the contractor shall submit a revised Safety and Health Plan to the Contracting Monitor and/or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The same process of review and negotiation (if applicable) involved in the original submission applies to any revision submitted after contract award. The accepted revised Safety and Health Plan shall then be incorporated by contract modification as an attachment or by reference.

PART III

The following items represent a list of required elements, as applicable, for the performance of this contract. The contractor’s safety and health plan shall address how compliance with these requirements will be ensured. The safety plan shall clearly define company procedures on specific tasks/processes, personnel qualifications, how facilities comply with fire requirements to include the electrical wiring and fire protection systems installed (i.e., fire suppression, fire detection, fire extinguishers, firewall ratings, etc.), required equipment used to accomplish tasks and other necessary requirements to ensure the protection of government personnel and property.
