1 INTRODUCTION The enclsed infrmatin addresses expectatins f Subcntractrs, Tier Subcntractrs and their invitees (herein called subcntractrs) visiting r perfrming wrk n Pwer prjects. Each subcntractr wrking n Pwer prjects is bligated t cmply with all Federal, State and Lcal safety requirements, Site Specific Safety Prgrams, and any Owner Safety Requirements (herein after called safety requirements). These safety requirements cnstitute the minimum level f perfrmance expected frm each emplyer and its emplyees r their subcntractrs, r agents. In additin, subcntractrs are respnsible fr adherence t site specific safety requirements defined by the prject safety requirements. All subcntractrs shall adhere t these requirements fr the perfrmance f their wrk n Pwer prjects designed t prmte the prject s safe cmpletin. SUBCONTRACTOR COMPLIANCE In accrdance with the OSHA requirements, each subcntractr shall prtect the emplyment and places f emplyment f each f its emplyees engaged in cnstructin wrk by cmplying with the apprpriate standards prescribed in the applicable standards. Subcntractrs shall hld each f their agents, vendrs, tier subcntractrs and suppliers respnsible fr cmpliance with these safety requirements. Subcntractrs shall include these safety requirements in cntracts with all tier subcntractrs, vendrs and suppliers. Entry nt prject, prperty, r the jb site cnstitutes acknwledgement by the subcntractr, subcntractr emplyees r invitee f their bligatin t adhere t these safety requirements. Each subcntractr shall establish and maintain an effective safety and health prgram that addresses the requirements herein. The subcntractr shall be slely respnsible fr implementing the safety prgram and shall have sle respnsibility fr mnitring the wrk f its emplyees, subcntractrs, agents, vendrs and suppliers t ensure cmpliance. The subcntractr is respnsible fr prcuring and cmpliance with the current versin f Pwer s Subcntractr Site Safety Requirements and at Fr prjects designated t be cvered by General Cntractr s CCIP as identified in the Prject Specific Agreement s Exhibit C, and in additin t any prject specific requirements defined herein, Subcntractr shall als be held t the requirements defined in the Appendix A CCIP Safety Prgram Requirements f this dcument. VIOLATION OF SAFETY REQUIREMENTS If a subcntractr r invitee is fund nn cmpliant t any f the safety requirements, the subcntractr and emplyee(s) may be subject t the fllwing (ne r mre): At a minimum, the resulting actin may result in a written warning; Individual(s) may be remved frm the prject fr a specified duratin; Individual(s) may be remved frm prject and/r future Pwer prjects; Re training fr individual(s), crew and /r freman; A $1,000 fine per ccurrence; Additinal full time supervisin and/r safety representative t the prject at the subcntractr s expense; Subcntractr Site Safety Requirements and 1 f 20

The meeting shuld cnclude in a dcumented agreement utlining the subcntractr s intended crrective actins and timeframe fr implementatin; Remval f unsafe cnditin by using ther wrk frces, the cst f which will be reimbursed thrugh back charges r prvisins f the cntract; Pwer may exercise its ptin t terminate all r part f the cntract with the subcntractr fr inadequate safety perfrmance, r failure t fulfill any f the safety requirements f the cntract; Any resulting damages (including damage fr delay) will be paid fr in accrdance with the subcntract. All csts and expenses paid r incurred by a subcntractr in the implementatin and administratin f the safety requirements shall be paid by said subcntractr. When vilatins f the safety requirements are bserved, the respnsible subcntractr shall be infrmed rally fr immediate crrectin. It is the sle respnsibility f the subcntractr t devise and implement the crrectin. If Pwer deems it is necessary t stp wrk being perfrmed due t the nature f a vilatin, wrk will be halted until the subcntractr crrects the vilatins. Any csts incurred by the stppage f wrk due t the vilatin will be the sle respnsibility f the vilating subcntractr. DESIGNATION OF COMPETENT PERSON Each subcntractr shall designate a cmpetent persn as defined by OSHA t implement the safety requirements. A cmpetent persn frm each subcntractr must be n site whenever they have emplyees wrking n site, and the name f that persn shall be submitted n the Pwer Daily Reprt. Each subcntractr is required t maintain this psitin, and a cmpetent persn(s) will remain n site until the cmpletin f their wrk. The subcntractr shall nt relinquish r defer respnsibility fr prject safety t its wn r subcntractr emplyees at any time under any circumstances. Where the nature r size f the cntract warrants, Pwer may require the subcntractr t emply a full time, nsite qualified Safety Representative. The fllwing trade cntractrs are required t prvide a cmpetent persn wh has cmpleted, at a minimum, the OSHA 30 hur Outreach Training Prgram fr Cnstructin within the previus six years at the prject full time when said cntractr has three r mre emplyees wrking n site fr the duratin f mre than 5 sequential wrking days.
