1.3.2 Work Plan

a. Submit a description of the anticipated work to be performed. The Government reserves the right to accept or reject the plan.

b. Accident Prevention Plan (APP)

A qualified person must prepare the abbreviated APP found in Appendix B. The APP must interface with the Contractor's overall safety and health program referenced in the APP in the applicable APP element and make site-specific. The Government considers the Prime Contractor to be the "controlling employer" for all work site safety and health of the subcontractors.

Contractors are responsible for informing their personnel of the safety provisions under the terms of the Contract and the penalties for noncompliance, coordinating the work to prevent one craft from interfering with or creating hazardous working conditions for other crafts, and inspecting subcontractor operations to ensure that accident prevention responsibilities are being carried out.

The APP must be signed by an officer of the firm (Prime Contractor senior person), the individual preparing the APP, the on-site superintendent, the designated SSHO, the Contractor Quality Control Manager, and any designated Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Health Physicist (CIH). Work cannot proceed without an accepted APP. Once reviewed and accepted by the Contracting Officer, the APP and attachments will be enforced as part of the Contract.

Disregarding the provisions of the Contract or the accepted APP is cause for stopping of work, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, until the matter has been rectified. Continuously review and amend the APP, as necessary, throughout the life of the Contract. Changes to the accepted APP must be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the Contracting Officer, project superintendent, SSHO and Quality Control Manager. Incorporate unusual or high-hazard activities not identified in the original APP as they are discovered. Should any severe hazard exposure (i.e.

imminent danger) become evident, stop work in the area, secure the area, and develop a plan to remove the exposure and control the hazard. Notify the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of discovery. Eliminate and remove the hazard. In the interim, take all necessary action to restore and maintain safe working conditions to safeguard onsite personnel, visitors, the public (as defined by ASSP A10.34), and the environment.

c. Refer to Appendix C for the District confined space program. Rescue equipment is required when Contractor personnel is entering a confined space. Government is available to inform contractor of potential hazards in or around confined space. The Government requires the presence of a Competent Person for fall protection onsite and personnel who wear fall protection equipment must be trained as an end user.
