CONTRACTOR TUNNEL SAFETY
Are you familiar with PERMIT REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE?
To promote safety for those who work in underground construction, OSHA along with the 91短视频 Fire Marshal requires all employees receive training in the following: Air monitoring and ventilation, illumination, communications, flood control, personal protective equipment, emergency procedures, including evacuation, check-in/check-out procedures, lock out tag out, explosive environments, fire prevention and protection.
** YOU NEED TO KNOW THE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS
AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR CONTRACTING JOB.
False Alarms: At this University we enjoy working with a wide range of contractors and vendors. We want this process to be safe and without false alarms. When a false alarm is activated, it clears students and faculty from the building and breaks the cycle. Vice Presidents, Deans, Professors and students are our customers. Needless to say false alarms concern them greatly. Our request is we reduce false alarms and be aware of the problem it creates. PLEASE BE SAFE, PLEASE BE PROFESSIONAL, PLEASE BE AWARE. The 91短视频 Fire Marshal should not have to point out every aspect of safe operations by licensed contractors. Remember, a false alarm can cost the contractor $1,000.
 
The following are administrative penalties and/or fines issued by the 91短视频 Fire Marshal (91短视频FM). Variations in penalties and/or fines occur due to the number of violations and/or evidence collected to prove such violations. The 91短视频FM reserves the right to make appropriate adjustments on a case by case basis.
 
Note: Cease and Desist orders may be issued if compliance is not evidenced immediately. The following are administrative penalties and/or fines issued by 91短视频FM.
 
Remedies for noncompliance. If a grantee or subgrantee materially fails to comply with any term by 91短视频FM, the awarding agency may take one or more of the following actions, as appropriate in the circumstances:
  (1) Initially, a $1,000 fine will be assessed after the first violation of the items listed. Additionally, the awarding agency may temporarily withhold cash payments pending correction of the deficiency or enact more severe enforcement as needed.
  (2) Disallow (that is, deny both use of funds and matching credit for) all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance.
  (3) Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the current award for the grantee’s or sub grantee’s program.
 
Hearings, appeals: In taking an enforcement action, the awarding agency will provide the grantee or subgrantee an opportunity for such hearing, appeal, or other administrative proceedings to which the grantee or subgrantee is entitled a fair hearing.
