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 thereunder 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 work-around procedures will not be necessary or that the facilities as furnished will be adequate to meet the responsibilities of the Contractor. Compliance with the OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of employees is exclusively the obligation of the Contractor. Further, the Government will assume no liability or responsibility for the

Contractor’s compliance or noncompliance with such requirements, with the exception of the aforementioned requirement to make corrections according to approved plans of abatement subject to base wide priorities. Before any modification of the facilities performed by the Contractor at his or her expense, the Contractor must furnish the contracting officer documentation describing, in detail, the modification requested. No alterations to the facilities shall be made without specific written permission from the contracting officer. In the case of alterations necessary for compliance with the OSHA, such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Contractor shall return the facilities to the Government in the same condition as received, fair wear and tear and approved modifications excepted. These facilities shall only be used in performance of this contract.
