Should a hazard be subsequently identified, the Government corrects OSHA hazards according to base wide Government developed and approved plans of abatement taking into account safety and health priorities. A higher priority for correction will not be assigned to the facilities provided hereunder merely because of this contracting initiative. The fact that no such conditions have been identified does not warrant or guarantee that no possible hazard exists or that workaround procedures will not be necessary or that the facilities as furnished will be adequate to meet the responsibilities of the Contractor. Compliance with OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of employees is exclusively the obligation of the Contractor, and the Government will assume no liability or responsibility for the Contractor's compliance or noncompliance with such re-sponsibilities, with the exception of the aforementioned responsibility to make corrections according to approved plans of abatement subject to base wide priorities. Prior to any modification of the facilities performed by the Contractor at their expense, the Contractor must furnish the CO documentation describing, in detail, the modification requested. No alterations to the facilities shall be made without specific written permission from the CO; however, in the case of alterations necessary for OSHA compliance, such permission shall not be unreasonably
