OSHA and FAA safety standards will be enforced. In keeping with such standards, the Contractor shall, at a minimum, provide:

A. Safety Plan - The Contractor shall have and submit a Safety Plan with the purpose of maintaining a safe working environment for construction workers employed on site.

The safety plan shall require a statement that the current Occupation Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations on safety in the construction industry, OSHA Title 29, Part 1910 and Part 1926, as well as FAA safety regulations are followed. The plan will be used by the COR to insure that the work is accomplished in accordance with accepted safety practices.

B. Trained Personnel - Personnel shall be properly trained in the usage of all equipment for which they will be required to use during the Contract. The COR may request documentation or other evidence of training at any time. Personnel without adequate training will be prohibited from using such equipment.

G. Work Practices - Although OSHA regulations and the Contractor's Safety Plan will usually apply, the COR may consider certain work practices to be unsafe in accordance with Public Law 91-596, Part 5a and 5b. The COR may stop any operation which is in violation of the OSHA standards or fails to comply with the safety plan or other safe work practices.

H. Designated Foreman - When any construction activity is conducted at the site, the presence of a designated, competent contractor’s foreman is required at the job site.

The foreman must be qualified and capable of organizing and coordinating all activities of the Contractor and his subcontractors, and keeping a safe job site.
