inform workers, regardless of tier, of the nature of work, potential
hazards anticipated, and how these hazards will be mitigated, or how
workers will be protected from hazards, focusing on Contract-Specific
Safety Plans, prior to commencement of work activities and/or tasks.
Hazard communication to workers will include a clear link between the
work activity/task, the hazards identified for the work activity/task,
and the mitigation controls that will be implemented to protect
personnel in the area, the worker performing the work activity/task and
the environment from the identified hazards. Documentation of hazard
communication shall be maintained, identifying workers' names, date of
communication, activities and/or tasks, hazards, and controls

## 1.10 Integrated Safety Management System (Isms)

A. General: SNL is committed to performing work safely, ensuring the
protection of employees, the public, and the environment. To support
these commitments, SNL employs an integrated safety management system,
which provides the framework for this specification, and the
requirements established for contracted construction work at SNL.

B. ISMS Guiding Principles: The following guiding principles are the
cornerstone of an effective safety management program.

1\. Contractor Management Responsibility for Safety: Contractor
management is accountable for the protection of the public, workers, and
environment.

2\. Clear Roles and Responsibilities: Clear and unambiguous lines of
authority and responsibility for ensuring safety are established and
maintained at all organizational levels within the company and its
subcontractors.

3\. Competence Commensurate with Responsibilities. Personnel possess the
experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities that are necessary to
discharge their responsibilities.

4\. Balanced Priorities. Resources are effectively allocated to address
safety considerations. Protecting the public, workers, and environment
is a priority whenever work is planned and performed.

5\. Identification of Safety Standards and Requirements. Before work is
performed, associated hazards are evaluated, and an agreed-upon set of
safety standards and requirements are established, which, if properly
implemented, provide adequate assurance that the public, workers, and
environment are protected from adverse consequences.

6\. Hazard Controls Tailored to Work Being Performed: Administrative and
engineering controls to prevent and mitigate hazards are tailored to the
work and associated hazards.

7\. Operations Authorization. Conditions and requirements to be
satisfied for operations to be initiated and conducted are clearly
established and agreed upon.

C. Apply ISMS work cycle shown below at task or activity level for
construction assignments. Depending on size and complexity of work
activity/task, some elements of work-planning phase may not be used
formally.

1\. Refer to Section I of the Contract for specific requirements for
pre-bid visits and conferences. Contractor has the responsibility to
visit the Project site, and submit questions regarding ES&H related
issues, which may affect his cost or performance, prior to bid.

2.  Table 1 provides requirements for demonstrating effective safety
    management during execution phase of this Contract.

> between the attendant and entrants.

d.  Attachment E: \"Confined Space Permit Sign In/Sign Out Sheet,\" is
    used to maintain an accurate, real time tracking of entrants for
    emergency response. Use of Attachment E only becomes necessary when
    the permit extends beyond a single day, or different entrants other
    than those initially identified on the permit are involved in the
    entry.

e.  Atmospheric Monitoring: Perform atmospheric monitoring on a
    continuous basis for the duration of the entry. If monitoring
    indicates the presence of atmospheric contaminants above acceptable
    concentrations, NO ENTRY IS ALLOWED**.** If entry has already
    occurred when contaminants are detected, exit the space immediately
    and contact the Construction Observer, SDR and Incident Commander.

4\. Non-Permit Confined Space: Fits the definition of a confined space,
but lacks any inherent or introduced hazards. Entry into this type of
