Chapter 42: Subcontractor Construction Safety

Overview (1)

To ensure that subcontracted construction work is completed in compliance with established California/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) and industry standards and Department of Energy (DOE) health and safety requirements, such work at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) will be executed according to established and approved procedures.

Safety, which includes all environment, safety, and health (ES&H) considerations, must be integral to the planning and execution, at all phases, of subcontracted construction work done for SLAC. Contracted personnel and subcontractors at all tiers must be fully aware of their legal and contractual responsibility to prevent occupational accidents and injuries.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide SLAC employees involved with construction projects, in particular the project manager (PM), university technical representative (UTR), and ES&H staff, with guidance on SLAC's overall requirements with respect to subcontractor construction safety.

Scope (2)

This chapter addresses the controls for all construction work performed by subcontractors at all tiers. (See Section 4, “Definitions”, for explanations of terms used in this chapter.)

The chapter applies to all construction activities performed by subcontractors.

This chapter is intended to be used in concert with the following documents:

  1. SLAC General Terms and Conditions for Fixed Price Construction Subcontractors [pdf]. The purpose of this document is to state clearly the legal obligations of the construction subcontractor in performing construction work at SLAC.
  2. SLAC University Technical Representative Requirements and Procedures for Construction [pdf]. The purpose of this document is to compile all the information necessary for project managers and UTRs to execute their job responsibilities faithfully.
  3. The hazard-specific chapters of this SLAC Environment, Safety, and Health Manual (see Section 7 “References”)
