SECTION 01011 Page 4

1926). One source of these regulations is OSHA Publication 2207, which includes a combination of both Parts 1910 and 1926 as they relate to construction safety and health. It is for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR, Part 61).

Federal Standard (Fed Std): Material Safety Data Sheets 313A

Safety and Health Requirements Manual. EM 385-1-1

Use of Asbestos Containing Material. ETL 1110-1-118

Policy and Guidelines for Asbestos Management. DA Circular 40-834

1.14.2 Work Covered by This Section

This section is applicable to all work covered by this contract.

1.14.3 Definition of Hazardous Materials

Refer to hazardous and toxic materials/substances included in Subparts H and Z of 29 CFR 1910; and to others as additionally defined in Fed Std 313.

Those most commonly encountered include asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), explosives, and radioactive material, but may include others. The most likely products to contain asbestos are sprayed-on fireproofing, insulation, boiler lagging, and pipe covering.

1.14.4 Asbestos

a. THE CONTRACTOR IS WARNED THAT EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE ASBESTOS HAS BEEN

ASSOCIATED WITH FOUR DISEASES: LUNG CANCER, CERTAIN GASTROINTESTINAL

CANCERS, PLEURAL OR PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA AND ASBESTOSIS. Studies indicate there are significantly increased health dangers to persons exposed to asbestos who smoke, and further, to family members and other persons who become indirectly exposed as a result of the exposed worker bringing asbestos-laden work clothing home to be laundered.

b. The Contractor is advised that friable and/or nonfriable asbestos-containing material may be encountered in area(s) where contract work is to be performed. Friable asbestos-containing material means any material that contains more than one percent asbestos by weight that hand pressure can crumble, pulverize or reduce to powder when dry. Nonfriable asbestos-containing materials are materials in which asbestos fibers are bound by a matrix material, saturant, impregnant or coating. Nonfriable asbestos-containing materials do not normally release airborne asbestos fiber during routine handling and end use.

However, excessive fiber concentrations may be produced during uncontrolled abrading, sanding, drilling, cutting, machining, removal, demolition or other similar activities.

c. Care must be taken to avoid releasing, or causing to be released, asbestos fibers into the atmosphere where they may be inhaled or ingested. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

SECTION 01011 Page 5 has set standards at 29 CFR 1910.1001 for exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers, methods of compliance, medical surveillance, housekeeping procedures and others measures must be taken when working with or around asbestos-containing materials. 29 CFR 1910.1001 has been identified as applicable to construction (29 CFR 1926.55 gases, vapors, fumes, dusts and mists). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established standards at 40 CFR 61.140-156 for the control of asbestos emissions to the environment and the handling and disposal of asbestos wastes.

d. Friable asbestos containing materials are not permitted by current criteria and shall not be used in new construction or modification projects (ETL 1110-1-118, 27 MAY 1983). Plans and specifications for all new construction and modification projects will be reviewed to insure that the use of friable asbestos-containing materials is not called for.

e. Maintenance, modification or demolition activities where exposure to asbestos dust may occur from previously installed friable or nonfriable asbestos-containing material will be identified. All precautions, to include proper work practices, medical surveillance, respiratory protection, industrial hygiene and environmental protection requirements of OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1001), EPA (40 CFR 61.140-156) and DA Circular 40-83-4, as applicable, shall be strictly adhered to.

1.14.5 Safety Assurance

a. Preconstruction Safety Meeting: Representatives of the Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer and his representative(s) prior to the start of repair, alteration or construction activities for the purpose of reviewing the Contractor's safety and health programs and discussing implementation of all safety and health provisions pertinent to the work to be performed under the contract.

The Contractor shall be prepared to discuss, in detail, the measures he intends to take in order to control any unsafe or unhealthy conditions associated with the work to be performed under the contract. This meeting may be held in conjunction with the preconstruction conference, if so directed by the Contracting Officer. The conduct of the meeting is not contingent upon a general preconstruction meeting. The level of detail for the safety meeting is dependent upon the nature of the work and the potential inherent hazards. The Contractor's principal on-site representative(s), the general superintendent and his safety representative(s) shall attend this meeting.

b. Compliance With Regulations: All work, including the handling of hazardous materials or the disturbance or dismantling of structures containing hazardous materials shall comply with the applicable requirements of 29 CFR 1926/1910. Work involving the disturbance or dismantling of asbestos or asbestos containing materials; the demolition of structures containing asbestos; and/or the disposal and removal of asbestos, shall also comply with the requirements of 40 CFR, Part 61, Subparts A and B, ETL 1110-1-118 and DA Circular 40-83-4. All work shall comply with applicable state and municipal safety and health requirements. Where there is a conflict between applicable regulations, the most stringent shall apply.

SECTION 01011 Page 6

c. Contractor Responsibility: The Contractor shall assume full responsibility and liability for compliance with all applicable regulations pertaining to the health and safety of personnel during the execution of work, and shall hold the Government harmless for any action on his part or that of his employees or subcontractors, which results in illness, injury or death.

d. Inspections, Tests and Reports: The required inspections, tests and reports made by the Contractor, subcontractors, specially trained technicians, equipment manufacturers, and others as required, shall be at the Contractor's expense for line items used during the contract.

(1) Materials and Equipment: Special features, devices, equipment, clothing and similar items used by the Contractor in the execution of work shall comply with the applicable regulations.

(2) Hazardous Materials: The Contractor shall bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer any material suspected of being hazardous which he encounters during execution of the work.

Section 01320 Page 3 the activity. Activities shall not belong to more than one modification or claim item. The modification or claim number of each activity shall be identified by the Mod or Claim Number. Whenever possible, changes shall be added to the schedule by adding new activities. Existing activities shall not normally be changed to reflect modifications.

3.3.2.8 Phase of Work

All activities shall be identified in the project schedule by the phases of work in which the activity occurs. Activities shall not contain work in more than one phase of work. The project phase of each activity shall be by the unique Phase of Work Code.

3.3.2.9 Category of Work

All Activities shall be identified in the project schedule according to the category of work which best describes the activity. Category of work refers, but is not limited to the procurement chain of activities including such items as design package submissions, design reviews, review conferences, permits, submittals, approvals, procurement, fabrication, delivery, installation, start-up, and testing. The category of work for each activity shall be identified by the Category of Work Code.

3.3.3 Scheduled Project Completion

The schedule interval shall extend from NTP to the contract completion date.

3.3.3.1 Project Start Date

The schedule shall start no earlier than the date on which the NTP was acknowledged. The Contractor shall include as the first activity in the project schedule an activity called "Start Project". The "Start Project" activity shall have an "ES" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.

3.3.3.2 Constraint of Last Activity

Completion of the last activity in the schedule shall be constrained by the contract completion date. The Contractor shall include as the last activity in the project schedule an activity called "End Project". The "End Project" activity shall have an "LF" constraint date equal to the completion date for the project, and a zero day duration.

3.3.3.3 Early Project Completion

In the event the project schedule shows completion of the project prior to the contract completion date, the Contractor shall identify those activities that have been accelerated and/or those activities that are scheduled in parallel to support the Contractor's "early" completion. Contractor shall specifically address each of the activities noted in the narrative report at every project schedule update period to assist the Contracting Officer in evaluating the Contractor's ability to actually complete prior to the contract period.

Section 01320 Page 4

3.3.4 Interim Completion Dates

Contractually specified interim completion dates shall also be constrained to show negative float if the early finish date of the last activity in that phase falls after the interim completion date.

3.3.4.1 Start Phase

The contractor shall include as the first activity for a project phase an activity called "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The "Start Phase X" activity shall have an "ES" constraint date equal to the date on which the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.
