Common use of SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING Clause in Contracts

SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING. PRASA operate stations within a strict railway-operating environment with high commuter flow, particularly during operating peak periods. Safety of commuters is therefore a non-negotiable requirement and the following should be strictly complied with. • The Contractor shall submit a Health & Safety Plan 2 weeks before commencement, which will include Risk Assessment with proposed work method and request for approval for site access (for PRASA CRES’s approval). Only when approval is granted shall the Contractor be granted access to the site for the duration of the contract. Please refer to the attached Contractor Safety Checklist. • Good safety and housekeeping practices shall be entrenched in working methods and practices. • Compliance with Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations as well as any such regulation prescribed by PRASA. It is the Contractors responsibility to know and understand them properly. • Regular and routine or ad-hoc inspections of compliance with safety and housekeeping shall be undertaken and all necessary correction actions immediately implemented.
