4.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

4.1 VOLUNTARY PROTECTION PROGRAM (VPP)

APPLICABILITY: This section of the PWS applies to "Applicable Contractors" as defined below.

4.2 DEFINITIONS:

Applicable Contractor. A contractor whose employees worked at least 1,000 hours at the site in any calendar quarter within the last 12 months and is NOT directly supervised by the applicant (installation).

Days Away, Restricted, and or Transfer Case Incident Rate (DART). The number of recordable injuries and illness cases per 100 full-time employees resulting in days away from work, restricted work activity, and/or job transfer that a site has experienced in a given time frame.

Total Case Incidence Rate (TCIR) - Total number of recordable injuries and illness cases per 100 full-time employees that a site has experienced in a given time frame.

Voluntary Protection Program - The Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) promotes effective worksite-based safety and health. In the VPP, management, labor, and OSHA establish cooperative relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management system. Approval into VPP is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health.

4.3 REQUIREMENTS – VOLUNTARY PROTECTION PROGRAM

Wright Patterson AFB is in the process of pursuing VPP recognition and has already been recognized under the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). VPP impacts all "applicable contract tors" operating on Air Force Installations.

The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring their employees and managers have a comprehensive understanding of VPP as well as full compliance with OSHA requirements. The contractor shall follow the safety and health rules of the installation or VPP site. Detailed information on VPP is available on the OSHA website at: http://www/osha.gov/dcsp/vpp/index.html.

It is the contractor's sole responsibility for compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) (Public Law 91-596). The contractor shall submit a Safety and Health Plan and corresponding site safety checklist to the Contracting Officer not later than 10 calendar days after contract award. The contractor's plan shall include appropriate measures to ensure the contractor reacts promptly to investigate, correct, and track alleged safety and health violations and/or uncontrolled hazards in contractor work areas. The plan shall:

· Demonstrate a management commitment to employee safety and health;

· Identify the application of the safety and health plan to subcontractors;

· Identify the roles and responsibilities of the following individuals with respect to safety and VPP: Management, Supervisors, Employees, and Safety Coordinator;

· Identify applicable safety rules and regulations;

· Include a worksite hazard analysis to include base-line hazard identification and required control measures;

· Include a job site analysis to include hazards of tasks required to control measures;

· Identify employee safety and health training requirements and the documentation process;

· Include a workplace inspection frequency, to include identifying the individual conducing the inspections;

· Include employee hazard reporting procedures;

· Identify individual(s) responsible for corrective action of hazards;

· Identify first aid/injury procedures;

· Identify procedures for accident investigation and reporting;

· Identify emergency response procedures; and

· Identify the process for tracking controlled hazards in contractor work areas.

The contractor shall submit their Total Case Incidence Rates (TCIR) and Days Away, Restricted, or Transfer (DART) rates and OSHA Form 300A annually to the Contracting Office for consolidation and submission as part of the installation's annual VPP Safety and Health Management report. TCIR and DART rates are due by the 15th of January of each year.

The contractor's Quality Control Plan shall identify the processes and procedures the contractor will use to track compliance with the Safety and Health Plan, and the process and procedures that will be used to correct violations.

4.3.1 The contractor shall establish these VPP requirements for all subcontractors who qualify as applicable contractors under the resulting contract.

4.4 LABOR HOURS DATABASE. The contractor shall report ALL contractor labor hours (including subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract via a secure data collection site. The contractor is required to completely fill in all required data fields at http://www.ecmra.mil.

Reporting inputs will be for the labor executed during the period of performance for each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs 1 October through 30 September. While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than 31 October* of each calendar year.

Contractors may direct questions to the Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (CMRA) help desk.

Uses and Safeguarding of Information: Information from the secure web site is considered to be proprietary in nature when the contract number and contractor identity are associated with the direct labor hours and direct labor dollars. At no time will any data be released to the public with the contractor name and contract number associated with the data.

User Manuals: Data for Air Force service requirements must be input at the Air Force CMRA link. However, user manuals for government personnel and contractors are available at the Army CMRA link at http://www.ecmra.mil.

TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS.

1. Tests. Regular on-site system sampling conducted during each service visit.

2. Surveys. A detailed inspection or review.

3. Scale. A hard coating or layer of chemical materials on internal surfaces of cooling tower systems or boiler pressure parts.

4. Metallurgical Analysis. Testing that determines the cause of metal deterioration in cooling tower systems or boiler pressure parts.

5. Langelier Saturation Index (LSI). A scale that determines whether cooling water is corrosive or scale forming. Useful range is from -3.00 to 3.00.

6. Welch-Allyn fiber optic inspection. A high-level inspection system that examines tube bundles in great detail to determine if gross deficiencies in water treatment exist.

7. High Temperature Hot Water (HTHW). Heating system water that is generally circulated at temperatures from 320 to 440 degrees.

8. Condensate. Condensed water resulting from the removal latent heat from steam.

9. Deaerator Oxygen Analysis. A study to determine the oxygen removal efficiency of the deaerator. The collected data assists in predicting the potential for oxygen related problems in the feedwater and boiler system(s).

10. Embrittlement Analysis. A study of the embrittling characteristics of the boiler water.

11. Controlled Limits. Operating parameters (boundaries)

12. Elution Studies on Ion Exchange Equipment. A series of tests conducted on the softeners, dealkalizers or demineralizers to determine the efficiency of the regeneration cycle. The collected data is evaluated by drawing an elution curve. The information reveals the regenerate concentrations at all stages of the cycle.

13. Steam Purity Analysis. A study monitoring the quality of the steam being produced to determine the steam purity.

14. Corrosion Studies on Feedwater/Condensate Systems. A study to determine the corrosion rates of the pre-boiler systems. The collected data provides information relating to the corrosion protection provided by the chemical treatment program.

15. Quantitative Deposit Analysis. A study to determine the composition of a deposit.

16. Resin Analysis. A study generally performed to determine the efficiency of zeolite resin in water.
