GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

This specification covers safety and occupational health requirements for the protection of Contractor and Government personnel, property and resources. The contractor shall prepare and execute a written Accident Prevention Plan/Site Safety and Health Plan (APP/SSHP) in accordance with Appendix A of EM 385-1-1 to include Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs).

Furthermore, based upon anticipated work to be performed under this contract, an additional special safety and health plan shall be included as part of and appended to the APP/SSHP. Reference Specification Section

01 35 29 HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES FOR

CONTAMINATED SITES for specific safety requirements related to this project.

The SAEP Site falls under the scope of 29 CFR 1910 , Section .120, "Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response". Due to the presence of high concentrations of several contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), PAH's and metals, there is a need to ensure those individuals involved in the project, the public, and the environment are protected. The training, practices, and procedures required by 29 CFR 1910 , Section .120 will ensure that the objectives are met. The contractor will ensure that requirements of 29 CFR 1910 , Section .120 are implemented by all involved in the project.

The sediments associated with the Outfall-008 drainage ditch portion of the Site have been determined to be impacted by the following:

- Metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, and zinc);

- Polychlorinated biphenyls; and

- Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (acenaphthylene, anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(ghi)perylene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, chrysene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, fluoranthene, fluorene, indeno(1,2,3-cd) pyrene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene).

See Appendix A - OF-008 Sampling Results for location and concentrations of contamination at Outfall-008.

This includes the project superintendent, site safety and health officer, quality control supervisor, or any other assigned safety and health professionals who participated in the

SECTION 01 35 26 Page 15 development of the APP/SSHP (including the Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) and special plans, program and procedures associated with it).

b. Discuss the details of the submitted APP/SSHP to include incorporated plans, programs, procedures and a listing of anticipated AHAs that will be developed and implemented during the performance of the contract. This list of proposed AHAs will be reviewed at the conference and an agreement will be reached between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer's representative as to which phases will require an analysis. In addition, establish a schedule for the preparation, submittal, review, and acceptance of AHAs to preclude project delays.

c. Deficiencies in the submitted APP/SSHP will be brought to the attention of the Contractor at the preconstruction conference, and the Contractor shall revise the plan to correct deficiencies and re-submit it for acceptance. Do not begin work until there is an accepted

APP/SSHP.

1.7.2 Weekly Safety Meetings

Conduct and document meetings as required by EM 385-1-1. Attach minutes showing contract title, signatures of attendees and a list of topics discussed to the Contractors' daily quality control report. A suggested sample weekly safety meeting form is attached at the end of this section.

1.8 Accident Prevention Plan/Site Safety and Health Plan (APP/SSHP)

a. A Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) who meets the qualification requirements in Paragraph 1.6.1 shall prepare the written site-specific APP/SSHP. Prepare the APP/SSHP in accordance with the format and requirements of USACE EM 385-1-1 and as supplemented herein. Cover all paragraph and subparagraph elements in USACE EM 385-1-1, Appendix A, "Minimum Basic Outline for Accident Prevention Plan". Include as an appendix to the APP/SSHP a Site Safety and Health Plan. Address all occupational safety and health hazards (traditional construction as well as contaminant-related hazards) associated with cleanup operations within the APP/SSHP. Cover each SSHP element in section 33.B of EM 385-1-1 and each APP/SSHP element in Appendix A of EM 385-1-1. There are overlapping elements in Section 33.A.01 and Appendix A of EM 385-1-1. SSHP appendix elements that overlap with APP/SSHP elements need not be duplicated. The APP/SSHP is a dynamic document, subject to change as project operations/execution change. The APP/SSHP will require modification to address changing and previously unidentified health and safety conditions.

It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that the APP/SSHP is updated accordingly. The APP/SSHP shall be job-specific and address any unusual or unique aspects of the project or activity for which it is written. The APP/SSHP shall interface with the Contractor's overall safety and health program. The Government considers the Prime Contractor to be the "controlling authority" for all work site safety and health of the subcontractors. Contractors are responsible for informing their subcontractors 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.

b. Submit the APP/SSHP to the Contracting Officer 15 calendar days prior to the date of the preconstruction conference for acceptance. Work cannot

SECTION 01 35 26 Page 16 proceed without an accepted APP/SSHP.

c. Once accepted by the Contracting Officer, the APP/SSHP and attachments will be enforced as part of the contract. Disregarding the provisions of this contract or the accepted APP/SSHP will be cause for stopping of work, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, until the matter has been rectified.

d. Once work begins, changes to the accepted APP/SSHP shall be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the Contracting Officer, project superintendent, SSHO and quality control manager. 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/remove the hazard. In the interim, take all necessary action to restore and maintain safe working conditions in order to safeguard onsite personnel, visitors, the public (as defined by ASSP A10.34 ,) and the environment.

e. Prior to submittal, the APP/SSHP must be signed and dated by the Safety and Health Manager and the Site Safety and Health Officer.

Deficiencies in the APP/SSHP will be discussed at the preconstruction safety conference, and be revised to correct the deficiencies and resubmitted for acceptance. Onsite work must not begin until the plan has been accepted. Maintain a copy of the written APP/SSHP onsite. Changes and modifications must be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the Safety and Health Manager, the Site Superintendent, and the Contracting Officer. Bring to the attention of the Safety and Health Manager, the Site Superintendent, and the Contracting Officer any unforeseen hazard that becomes evident during the performance of the work, through the Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) for resolution as soon as possible. In the interim, take necessary action to re-establish and maintain safe working conditions in order to safeguard onsite personnel, visitors, the public, and the environment. Disregard for the provisions of this specification or the accepted APP/SSHP will be cause for stopping work until the matter has been rectified.

f. Copies of the accepted plan will be made available in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120, (b)(1)(v) and 29 CFR 1926.65, (b)(1)(v). It will be maintained at the Resident Engineer's Office and at the job site.

Continuously review and amend the APP/SSHP, as necessary, throughout the life of the contract. Incorporate unusual or high-hazard activities not identified in the original APP/SSHP as they are discovered.

1.8.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND CONTAMINATION CHARACTERIZATION
