of persons exposed to their operations and to safeguard property and equipment from
accidental loss or destruction. All work will be performed in accordance with the safety
and health provisions of the contract, EM 385-1,1 (US Army Corps of Engineers Safety
and Health Requirements Manual), and Federal State and local codes and standards,
When a difference in standards exists, the most stringent standard applies.

applied accident prevention program is essential to the efficiency, quality, and scheduling
of work and the minimization of costs, The prime contractor is 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. Public safety is paramount. Sites must be secured from public access.

of the contract requirements and be instructed to immediately resolve the problem.
