All Contractor work on site must meet the requirements of NWWP 385-1-20 and EM 385-1-1 . Digital copies of NWWP 385-1-20 may be obtained from the Contracting Officer upon request. Safe Clearance procedures are used by Project and Contractor personnel to protect personnel, equipment, and the environment, as well as to ensure continuity of service. Any work performed by the Contractor that requires taking project operated equipment out of service is to be done only after a formal clearance is obtained through the Government. Report violations to the Issuing Individual. Violators of safe clearance program may require retraining and retesting.

For jobs with multiple tasks that require AHA's, prepare and submit an Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) on the first feature of work that requires a clearance request. AHA requirements will be verified at the Post-Award Meeting.

The following applies to LOTO and HECP procedures:

a. The Government will provide Safe Clearance Tags to Contractor for clearances using the Government Safe Clearance Procedures. Provide personal safety locks, meeting NWWP 385-1-20 Chapter 6, for use with the Government's safe clearance procedures.

Government, or equipment which is not tied into Government energy sources, the Contractor may use their own Lockout/Tagout Program.

Contractor Programs must be pre-approved by the Responsible Official.

c. Submit the names of Authorized Individuals to the KO prior to the
