Common use of POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WORK Clause in Contracts

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WORK. A. When the use of explosives, driving, or removal of piles, wrecking, excavation Work or other similarly potentially dangerous Work is necessary for the prosecution of the Work, the Contractor shall exercise the utmost care so as not to endanger life or property. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for any and all damages, claims, and for the defense of any actions against the Owner resulting from the prosecution of such Work in connection with or arising out of the Contract. B. The Contractor shall notify each public utility company or other Owner of property having structures or improvements in proximity to the site of the Work, of his intent to perform potentially dangerous Work. Such notice shall be given sufficiently in advance to enable the companies or the Owners of property to take such steps as they may deem necessary to relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any damages, claims, or the defense of any actions against the Owner resulting from the performance of such Work in connection with or arising out of the Contract. C. All explosives shall be stored in a secure manner and all storage places shall be marked clearly "EXPLOSIVES - KEEP OFF", and shall be in the care of competent watchmen at all times.
