4.0 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT

Pertaining to Contractor Usage For the purposes of this contract, the “HMMP Team” and the “HAZMART” are the Environmental

Office. HAZMAT Determination and Authorization Procedures for Contractors

AFI 32-7086 Hazardous Materials Management:

4.1 If a contract is reasonably expected to require a contractor to bring or to use HAZMAT on an http://www.access.gpo.gov/uscode/title42/chapter82_.html installation, the requiring activity working with the Contracting Office shall include the following contract requirements to ensure that contractor materials can be evaluated for authorization and tracking under the

HMMP.

4.2 Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.223-3, Hazardous Material Identification and Material Safety Data.

4.3 FAR Clause 52.223-5, Pollution Prevention and Right-to-Know Information.

4.4 FAR Clause 52.223-19, Compliance with Environmental Management Systems.

4.5 AFFARS Clause 5352.223-9001, Health and Safety on Government Installations.

4.6 FAR Clause 52.223-7, Notice of Radioactive Materials.

4.7 The locally developed HAZMAT tracking and reporting tasks necessary to ensure contractor compliance with this AFI.

All HAZMAT brought onto an installation for use shall be authorized via the process described in this section. The Environmental office has developed these local procedures to ensure that the HAZMAT monitoring process does not impede time-critical mission-essential materiel requests.

4.8 IAW FAR Clause 52.223-3, each Contractor must provide the Contracting Office (CO) with a list of proposed Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) that it plans to use on the installation during the performance of the contract (includes any sub-contractor HAZMAT). IAW AFI 32-7086, contractors must obtain Air Force authorization prior to using HAZMAT on an Air Force installation, and must report usage data to the Environmental Office (RIOCV).

This includes fuels used to run generators and other construction/maintenance equipment.

4.8.1 Contractors shall submit through the CO to RIOCV, Safety Data Sheets (formerly known as Material

Safety Data Sheets or MSDS’s), for all potentially hazardous materials/products that will be brought on to the installation.

4.8.2 RIOCV will review all potentially hazardous materials and identify the materials deemed as HAZMAT that require tracking. RIOCV may remove any materials from consideration for use by the Contractor that contain ingredients prohibited buy the AF or other regulatory agency.

4.8.3 RIOCV will communicate to the Contracting Officer Representative the list of HAZMAT that will require

AF- EESOH-MIS tracking. Those materials will require the completion of one Contractor HAZMAT Product Request Form (PRF) per HAZMAT by the Contractor. RIOCV will provide the Hazardous Material Form to the Contractor and can assist the Contractor with this documentation if requested.

4.8.4 RIOCV will complete their portion on the Contractor PRF and load all information from the forms into the AF-EESOH-MIS data system. The Contractor will also retain a copy of their Contractor HAZMAT PRF for the duration of the specified project.

4.8.5 If the contractor needs to bring a material on the installation that was not included in the original

HAZMAT listing, the contractor must first notify the CO and then obtain prior authorization, if RIOCV determines the material to be a HAZMAT.

4.8.6 The Contractor will submit a Contractor Material Usage Data Sheet provided by RIOCV to the CO once a month for contracts over 60 days. For contracts less than 60 days, a Material Usage Data Sheet will be submitted by the Contractor to CO at the completion of the contract.

4.8.7 The CO will provide a copy of the Usage Data Sheet to RIOCV.

4.8.8 Any HAZMAT brought on site for the contract and not used in its entirety will be removed from the installation by the Contractor. If HAZMAT can be used in another contract at this installation, please contact RIOCV for assistance.

4.8.9 RIOCV is ready to assist the CO and Contractor in any way to simplify and expedite this reporting and tracking procedure. Please contact RIOCV (330-2098) with any questions.
