Contract Administration Handbook

FSH 6309.11, Section 23—Safety (continued):

3. When a life threatening condition, resulting from the Contractor's operation, is observed, order the Contractor to immediately correct the situation. Follow up verbal with written confirmation (Form FS-6300-12, Work Order and Notice of Noncompliance). In addition, suspend that portion of the work until the hazard is corrected (Form FS-6300-8, Notice to Proceed, Suspend and Resume Work Order).
   
   
4. Do not directly or indirectly assume control, direction, or responsibility for the Contractor's safety program. In advising the Contractor of apparent unsanitary or hazardous conditions, do not prescribe corrective measures or procedures unless they are specifically described in the contract specifications.
   
   
5. Do not perform inspection or other duties in an unacceptably unsafe environment. If the unsafe environment is under the control of the contractor, advise the contractor that the work cannot be inspected nor accepted until the unsafe condition is corrected.
