Consult with the supporting local Safety and Occupational Health Office (SOHO) for assistance in identifying local requirements.

In addition to the detailed requirements included in the provisions of this Contract, comply with the most recent edition of USACE EM 385-1-1 , and the following[ federal, state, and local][ host nation] laws, ordinances, criteria, rules and regulations at the date of the Solicitation for this Contract. Submit matters of interpretation of standards to the appropriate administrative agency for resolution before starting work. Where the requirements of this specification, applicable laws, criteria, ordinances, regulations, and referenced documents vary, the most stringent requirements govern.

1.7.1 Subcontractor Safety Requirements

NOTE: Use this paragraph and subsequent subparagraphs for NAVY projects in CONUS and Hawaii only.

For this Contract, neither Contractor nor any subcontractor may enter into Contract with any subcontractor that fails to meet the following requirements. The term subcontractor in this and the following paragraphs

SECTION 01 35 26 Page 11 means any entity holding a Contract with the Contractor or with a subcontractor at any tier.

1.7.1.1 Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

Subcontractors on this Contract must have an effective EMR less than or equal to 1.10, as computed by the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) or if not available, as computed by the state agency's rating bureau in the state where the subcontractor is registered, when entering into a subcontract agreement with the Prime Contractor or a subcontractor at any tier. The Prime Contractor may submit a written request for additional consideration to the Contracting Officer where the specified acceptable EMR range cannot be achieved. Relaxation of the EMR range will only be considered for approval on a case-by-case basis for special conditions and must not be anticipated as tacit approval.

Contractor's Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) must collect and maintain the certified EMR ratings for all subcontractors on the project and make them available to the Government at the Government's request.

1.7.1.2 OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate

Subcontractors on this Contract must have a DART rate, calculated from the most recent, complete calendar year, less than or equal to 3.4 when entering into a subcontract agreement with the Prime Contractor or a subcontractor at any tier. The OSHA Dart Rate is calculated using the following formula:

(N/EH) x 200,000

Where:

N = number of injuries and illnesses with days away, restricted work, or job transfer

EH = total hours worked by all employees during most recent, complete calendar year

200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40-hours per week, 50 weeks per year)

The Prime Contractor may submit a written request for additional consideration to the Contracting Officer where the specified acceptable OSHA Dart rate range cannot be achieved for a particular subcontractor.

Relaxation of the OSHA DART rate range will only be considered for approval on a case-by-case basis for special conditions and must not be anticipated as tacit approval. Contractor's Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) must collect and maintain self-certified OSHA DART rates for all subcontractors on the project and make them available to the Government at the Government's request.

NOTE: Insert this paragraph when a contract has:

1) More than one worksite or multiple shifts that require a separate full-time SSHO.

2) A limited Scope.

3) Maintenance and Service Contracts.

Fill in the worksite locations below and the required level of SSHO when a project has more than one worksite that requires a dedicated full-time SSHO. Just because a project has more than one worksite does not automatically mean additional full-time SSHOs are required. Only consider specifying additional full-time SSHOs when the contract includes separate projects and each project is uniquely different from one another usually having separate plans and specifications or large geographical distances. This is very rare and should only be specified after careful consideration and consultation with the KO, SOHO, and administering construction office. This is very

SECTION 01 35 26 Page 14 rare and should only be specified after careful consideration and consultation with the FEAD/OICC/ROICC. Add or delete locations as needed.

Provide a separate full-time Level [One][Two][Three] SSHO at each of the following worksites:

a. [INDICATE WORKSITE LOCATION] Level [One][Two][Three] SSHO

b. [INDICATE WORKSITE LOCATION] Level [One][Two][Three] SSHO

c. [INDICATE WORKSITE LOCATION] Level [One][Two][Three] SSHO

The SSHOs for the worksites listed above must each have the required training, experience, and qualifications in accordance with EM 385-1-1 .

Each SSHO is responsible for implementing and managing the Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) program at the worksite indicated, while ensuring that the 29 CFR 1926 , EM 385-1-1, Contracts, and all applicable federal, state, and Local requirements are met.

] 1.8.6 Dredging Contract Site Safety and Health Officer(s)(SSHOs) Requirements
