Title: JSC Safety and Health Handbook

######### **P1. Purpose**

This document defines JSC's Safety and Health Program and provides basic
safety and health requirements for the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and
for other locations under JSC's jurisdiction. It is important that you
follow the safety and health requirements that apply to your job.

######### **P2. Applicability**

This handbook applies to anyone at JSC or JSC field sites, unless
exempted in a specific chapter. For this handbook, "JSC" includes all
JSC sites in the Houston area such as Ellington Field and the Sonny
Carter Training Facility. The handbook applies to operations involving
JSC personnel or equipment at non-JSC locations, including foreign
countries. See Chapter 1.4, paragraph 6, for more information on
following standards at non-JSC locations.

a.  The following table tells you who must follow this handbook.

+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------+
| If you . . .                | Then you shall follow . . .            |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------+
| Are a federal employee      | This handbook unless you work at a     |
|                             | site that involves unique military     |
|                             | equipment and operations               |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------+
| Are a JSC contractor        | This handbook as called out in your    |
|                             | contract. Prime contractors must flow  |
|                             | down these requirements to             |
|                             | subcontractors                         |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------+
| Work at a JSC remote site   | All chapters that don't exempt you and |
| (such as White Sands Test   | local requirements that meet the       |
| Facility) as a civil        | intent of any chapter that exempts you |
| service employee or         |                                        |
| contractor employee         | If a chapter exempts you, develop your |
|                             | own requirements that meet the intent  |
|                             | of that chapter                        |
|                             |                                        |
|                             | The local Quality Assurance,           |
|                             | Reliability, and Safety Office or      |
|                             | equivalent carries out the             |
|                             | responsibilities of the Safety and     |
|                             | Test Operations Division at your site  |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------+
| Are a non-NASA or           | This handbook while you are on JSC     |
| non-contract employee       | property                               |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------+

b.  If you are a federal employee working in a private employer's
    facility, you are covered by the JSC safety and health program.
    Although NASA may not have the authority to correct hazardous
    conditions in a private sector workplace, NASA makes sure your
    working conditions are safe and healthful. NASA does this by
    administrative controls or personal protective equipment, or your
    withdrawal from the private employer's facility.

c.  If you are a private employer, neither Executive Order 12196,
    "Occupational Safety and Health Programs for Federal Employees," nor
    this handbook relieves you or your employees of any rights or
    responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health
    Administration (OSHA).
