ARCO Marketing Operations Construction Safety Policy <br /> A. Introduction <br /> ARCO expects all contractors to perform work that complies with all state, federal and local <br /> laws and regulations affecting health and safety. Contractors are expected to provide staff <br /> and required training necessary to ensure that these health and safety requirements outlined <br /> in this policy are incorporated in the contractors procedure and practiced by the their workers. <br /> Subcontractors must also adhere to these same health and safety requirements. <br /> ARCO will monitor the contractors safety performance on the job including a comprehensive <br /> written safety inspection on projects as selected by field personnel. These inspections will be <br /> used as a point of measure for contractor safety performance. ARCO will also request on a <br /> regular basis (typically quarterly) key health and safety performance measure statistics. <br /> Performance measures include Workers' Compensation Experience Modification rate (EMR) <br /> and OSHA Incidence Rates. On the job injuries, however, should be reported to the <br /> responsible ARCO party immediately. Such incidents for contractor or subcontractors <br /> employee should be reported with the following information: (a) employee name, (b) nature of <br /> accident, (c) expected to result in lost day(s) and (d) recommendation relative to corrective <br /> action for future prevention. <br /> Sections "B" through "V" outline specific ARCO health and safety requirements that must be <br /> exercised on work performed at the ARCO retail gasoline dispensing facility. Non-compliance <br /> with these requirements will likely result in immediate work disruption until the deficiency has <br /> been corrected.
