It is the responsibility of the contractor to enforce the below requirements as well as all current revisions of the above referenced standards.

S1.0 THE CONTRACTOR IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR JOB- SITE SAFETY

1. Review of the project plans and other documents by any government appointed official does not constitute an acceptance of Federal responsibility or liability for the adequacy of the safety measures identified for the job or for the Contractor's compliance with all applicable safety rules and regulations.

2. The Contractor remains solely responsible and liable for job-site safety at all times during the term of the contract. No outside personnel (other than ET, COR, TYAD Safety, or other government appointed contract personnel) are allowed onto the job site at any time during contract without prior permissions and/or escort by the ET, COR or KO.

3. Tobyhanna Army depot has restrictions on the use of fossil fuels in all buildings. When it is determined that electric or other alternatively fueled vehicles are insufficient or unavailable for movement of material within the buildings on the installation, fossil-fueled vehicles can be used only when all alternatives of accepted electric material movement equipment have been considered, and the last option is use of a fossil fuel vehicle or project failure. This includes any situations where safety of employees and equipment may be jeopardized. Convenience will never be an acceptable justification to utilize fossil-fueled vehicles. The Government Designated Representative (GDR) will notify the appropriate supervisor(s) or leader(s) in the area where the need to utilize a fossil fuel vehicle is required. The supervisor / leader will take the necessary steps to notify the employees in the work area of the option to leave the area during the material movement process. The GDR and Contractor will also document all actions the Contractor took to utilize electric or other alternatively fueled vehicles. The documentation will specifically state why electric or alternatively fueled vehicles are insufficient and all mitigation efforts used to minimize the effects of fossil-fueled vehicles to include information as to any appropriate scrubbers that can be utilized along with any ventilation or exhaust systems that can be used to externally vented to the outside of the facility.
