8\. Preparation Information (*Include complete Instructions for document
preparation*)

When preparing its safety and health plan, the offer or/contractor is
expected to determine whether the items below are applicable to its
contract performance and tailor its plan accordingly. This determination
is to be made available to the Government as part of this plan. It can
be documented as a checklist or outline, inserted directly in the body
of the plan, or in any format developed by the contractor that clearly
conveys the determination.

A. Policy. A safety policy statement will be included in the plan.

B. Authority and Accountability. The plan will state that it will be
maintained as required to be consistent with applicable NASA
requirements and contractual direction as well as applicable Federal,
state, and local regulations. The plan will include a statement from the
project manager or designated safety official indicating that the plan
will be implemented as approved and that the project manager will take
personal responsibility for its implementation.

C. Management Structure. Clearly define line and staff responsibilities
for safety, health, and environmental protection. Identify any other
personnel or organization that provides safety services or exercises any
form of control or assurance in these areas. State the means of
communication and interface concerning related issues used by line,
staff, and others (such as documentation, concurrence requirements,
committee structure, sharing of the work site with NASA and other
contractors, or other special responsibilities and support.)

D. Safety Program Management. Identify all personnel assignments and
basic techniques to be applied to accomplish the safety program goals.
As a minimum, the following details shall be provided:

1\. Assignment of specific safety roles and responsibilities to
individuals by title. The following information will be provided as a
minimum:

> a Designated Safety Official (or equivalent) - identify by title the

>
> 3\. Identification of methods to assure that the relevant hazardous
> situations and proper controls are identified in documentation such as
> inspection procedures, test procedures, etc., and other related
> information.
>
> 4\. Describe the contractor\'s training program including
> identification of responsibility for training employees to assure
> understanding of safe work practices, hazard recognition, and
> appropriate responses including protective and/or emergency
> countermeasures. Address management techniques used to identify and

> training/certification, hazard communication, etc.) as appropriate
> with particular emphasis on programs designed for the multi-employer
> work environment on NASA property.
>
> 5\. Assignments, procedures, and frequency for regular inspection and
> evaluation of work areas for hazards and accountability for
> implementation of corrective measures. The contractor has the option,
> in lieu of this detail, to identify policies and procedures with the
> stipulation that the results (including findings) of inspections
> conducted on NASA property or involving Government furnished property
> will be documented in contractor self evaluations, risk evaluations,
> or the monthly Accident/Incident Summary reports.)
>
> 6\. Identification of methods to assure the reporting and
> investigation of mishaps and close calls and corrective actions
> implemented to prevent recurrence. Discuss use of NASA Form 1627 and
> alternate forms used by contractor with emphasis on timely
> notification of NASA; investigation procedures; exercise of
> jurisdiction over a mishap investigation involving NASA and other
> contractor personnel; follow up of corrective actions; communication

>
> lessons learned to NASA; and solutions to minimize duplications in
> reporting and documentation including use of alternate forms, etc.
> Discuss immediate notification requirements for fires, hazardous
> materials releases, and other emergencies.
>
> 7\. Establishment of administrative procedures and responsibilities
> for emergency preparedness plans and procedures.
>
> 8\. Participation in the review, updating, and modifications of safety
> requirements identified in this plan including any referenced
> documents therein. This review activity will be implemented at the
> direction of the NASA Contracting Officer\'s Technical Representative
> in accordance with established NASA directives and procedures.
>
> 9\. Management techniques and criteria used to determine the need for
> safety engineering tasks and the methods for identification and

contract. JHB 1700.1 will serve as a guide for defining, classifying,
and prioritizing hazardous operations. Develop and maintain a list of
hazardous operations to be performed during the life of this contract.
The list of hazardous operations will be provided to JSC as part of the
Safety Plan for review and approval. JSC and the Contractor will decide
jointly which operations are to be considered hazardous, with JSC as the
final authority. Before hazardous operations commence, the Contractor
will develop a schedule to perform the following and submit it for JSC
concurrence:

> a\. Hazardous Operations Procedures. Written hazardous operations
> procedures will be developed and approved for all hazardous operations
> with particular emphasis on identifying the job safety steps required.
> The contractor may implement this requirement as follows:
