vii. Understand the site-specific rescue procedures;

f. Personal Fall Arrest System Requirements (PFAS):

All PFAS shall meet the requirements contained in ANSI Z359, Fall Protection Code, to include fall restrain and positioning systems. A PFAS consist of a full body harness, connecting means, and an anchorage system. General this equipment is certified for users within the capacity range of 130 to 310 lbs., including the weight of the worker, equipment, and tools. A CP shall inspect the equipment at least once semi-annually and whenever the equipment is subject to a fall or impact.

i. Full body harnesses shall meet the requirements of ANSI Z359 and be used in accordance with EM 385-1-1, Section 21-8. c. Body belts and full body harnesses meeting only the requirements of the ANSI A10.14 shall not be used. Equipment manufactured to ANSI/ASSP Z359.1 prior to 2007 is not permitted on USACE project sites. All full body harnesses shall be equipped with Suspension Trauma Preventers such as stirrups, relief steps, or similar in order to provide short-term relief from the effects of orthostatic intolerance.

ii. All energy absorbing lanyards shall meet the requirements of ANSI Z359.13 and be used in accordance with EM 385-1-1, Chapter 21-8. c. (4).

(3.6 m) FF energy absorbing lanyard shall be used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. A 12 ft (3.6 m) FF energy absorbing lanyard does not refer to the lanyard length. Instead, it refers to a FF that is greater than 6 ft. (1.8 m) up to 12 ft. which is created by the anchor point being located below the dorsal D-ring. The maximum length of the lanyard used shall not exceed 6 ft. (See EM 385-1-1, Chapter 21-8. c.(4)(f))

The Technical Point of Contact will notify the Contractor if areas are closed as a result of floodwaters, rescheduling and/or canceling any subsequent service in the closed property area. When flooding ends and waters recede, the Technical Point of Contact will notify the Contractor as areas reopen and services may resume.

10. Prework Conference – Prior to the start of any on-site work, the Technical Point of Contact will schedule and conduct a “Prework Conference.” The Contractor’s Project Manager and Quality Control Personnel will be physically present to attend this meeting. The Contractor shall directly oversee all work on the project and the Project Manager and Quality Control Personnel shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Contractor. This conference will be held at the time and location agreeable to the Government and Contractor. No on-site work shall be performed under this contract prior to this conference. The purpose of the conference is to enable the Technical Point of Contact to outline the procedures that will be followed by the Government in its administration of the contract, and to discuss the performance that will be expected from the Contractor. This conference will allow the Contractor an opportunity to ask questions about the Government’s administration and inspection of contract work or obtain other pertinent information that might be required.
