Contractors regulatory requirements

Contractors are required to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, in addition to host organization requirements as described in company policies and procedures and the site-specific health and safety plan (H S plan). 

During the course of the study, presentations and written information on secondary waste practices and regulatory requirements were received from a multitude of organizations that included individual Army facilities, Army contractors, industrial facilities, regulatory authorities, and other organizations involved with waste management. 

If the client is marketing the product internationally, the client should provide the contract manufacturer with copies of the regulatory requirements that might affect the client s product in all countries in which the product is being marketed. A contractor cannot be held responsible for compliance with regulations with which the contractor is unfamiliar. 

The effort to implement bridge corrosion control maintenance practices, which achieve regulatory requirements and cost efficiency, cannot be successful without the development of reliable task-based cost data for bridge painting tasks. These data depend on many factors such as local labor costs and structural factors such as accessibility to contractor costing rules.

A CSI is essentially the same as an SCI except that systems required to identify CSIs have additional statutory and regulatory requirements that the contractor must meet in supplying those CSIs to the government. For systems required to have a CSI list, HA and mishap risk assessment is used to develop that list. The determining factor in CSIs is the consequence of failure, not the probability that the failure or consequence would occur. CSIs include items determined to be life-limited, fracture critical, fatigue-sensitive, and so on. Unsafe conditions relate to hazard severity categories I and II of MIL-STD-882. A CSI is also identified as a part, subassembly, assembly, subsystem, installation equipment, or support equipment for a system that contains a characteristic, failure mode, malfunction, or absence of which could result in a Class A or Class B accident as defined by DoDINST 6055.7. 

In the design and construction of new production systems, technical specifications play an important role. They represent a company s collective experiences from their production systems in operation. The company s project organisation instructs machinery and equipment vendors and engineering contractors to comply with the requirements in the specifications. We have to interpret the experiences from individual accidents and near accidents and from analyses of accident concentrations and translate them into specific requirements for use in such specifications. It is recommended that group problem-solving techniques be applied in this process. Regulatory requirements and standards on safety are similar experience carriers at the national or branch-of-industry levels. We will come back to this issue in Chapter 27.

The contractor should submit drawings and calculations for approval before ordering materials. The contractor may be required to submit drawings to insurance underwriters, inspection bureaus, or other regulatory agencies.
