1.5.1 Subcontractor Safety Requirements

Neither Contractor nor any subcontractor shall enter into contract with any subcontractor who fails to meet the following requirements. The term subcontractor in the following paragraphs shall mean all subcontractors on the project, whether in contract with the Contractor or any subcontractor.

At least five days before any new subcontractors start work, or at least five days prior to the preparatory meeting regarding the subcontractor’s work, whichever is earlier, Contractor shall submit subcontractor’s proof of compliance with the requirements detailed blow for Experience Modification Rate and DART rates, for Government approval.

1.5.1.1 Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

No subcontractor on the project shall have an effective EMR greater than

1.10 when entering into a subcontract agreement with the prime contractor or a subcontractor at any tier 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.

Prime Contractor may submit a written request for additional consideration to the Contracting Officer where the specified acceptable EMR range cannot be achieved for a particular subcontractor whose performance is uniquely critical to the construction project. Relaxation of the EMR range shall only be considered and/or granted on a case-by-case basis for special conditions and shall not be anticipated as tacit approval.

Rate

No subcontractor on the project shall have a DART rate calculated from the most recent, complete calendar year greater than 3.0 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/or 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)

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 whose performance is uniquely critical to the construction project.
