Appendix E: Subcontractor's Statement of Understanding <br /> Regarding Health and Safety Responsibilities <br /> In accordance with generally accepted practices, each Subcontractor engaged by AEI is responsible for all <br /> matters relating to the health and safety of its personnel and equipment in performance of the work. This <br /> includes recognition of the potential health and safety hazards associated with the work. AEI will establish a <br /> health and safety plan or program (HASP) applicable to its own employees and its own activities on site. <br /> AEI will make its HASP available to each subcontractor for informational purposes only. Each subcontractor <br /> must establish a HASP applicable to its own employees and its own activities on site. <br /> Subcontractors who use AEI's HASP as a model for their own HASP are responsible for determining its <br /> adequacy and applicability to its own employees and its own activities on site. Subcontractors must establish <br /> their own HASP applicable to subcontractor employees and/or activities, even if modeled after AEI's HASP <br /> and deliver this HASP in clear written form to AEI prior to the initiation of on-site activities. Submittal of the <br /> subcontractor's HASP to AEI will be for informational purposes only. Review of the subcontractor's HASP by <br /> AEI shall in no way constitute approval or endorsement by AEI of the subcontractor's HASP. It is understood <br /> that protective measures specified in the Subcontractor's HASP are minimum requirements for the work. <br /> Subcontractor warrants that all its employees that are permitted to engage in operations that could expose <br /> them to hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, or safety or health hazards have obtained the necessary <br /> health and safety training and medical surveillance as specified in the applicable provisions of OSHA <br /> 1926.59 Hazard Communication; <br /> 1926.52 Occupational Noise Exposure; <br /> 1926.103 Respiratory Protection; <br /> 1926.65 Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response; <br /> as well as any other applicable portion of the OSHA General Industry (29 CFR 1910) and Construction <br /> Industry (29 CFR 1926) Standards. Subcontractor shall provide AEI with evidence of the necessary <br /> certification before beginning hazardous waste work subject to OSHA 1926.65 on the project site. <br /> Should AEI become aware of subcontractor activities on site which appear to violate OSHA or other <br /> applicable safety regulations or otherwise pose an immediate and serious threat to the safety of AEI <br /> employees, subcontractor employees, other individuals on site, or members of the public, AEI may notify <br /> the subcontractor verbally and/or in writing regarding the need for corrective action. Failure to comply with <br /> either general safety practices or health and safety practices as described above may be grounds for breach <br /> and prompt contract termination. The safety requirements of the work as described above apply without <br /> regard to time, place, or presence of an AEI representative. <br /> AEI Health&Safety,Injury&Illness Prevention Plan Page 23 of 25 <br /> June 24, 2011 <br />
