These safe work practices apply to all employees and Contractors equally. Contractors must follow all safe work practices while working on the installation and provide training to employees on PSM before working within the IWTP.

For Contractors performing maintenance or repair, turnaround, major renovation, or specialty work on or adjacent to a covered process, contact the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for more instructions on special provisions of the PSM standard that applies to this work.
