Responsibilities contractors

Both histamine and 5-HT have been demonstrated in extracts 5-HT is responsible for some of the bronchoconstrictor activity of cotton dust extracts. Brom-lysergic acid, a specific 5-HT inhibitor, partially reduces activity, suggesting the presence of an "unknown contractor." This does not appear to be acetylcholine or bradykinin. Thus, although histamine, 5-HT, and the "unknown contractor" can cause immediate contractor responses, delayed onset contractions may still be due to secondary release of histamine (105). 

Finding 6. The loss of experienced personnel prior to completion of closure could jeopardize the cost-effective and safe implementation of closure plans. Fostering personnel retention during facility closure could present a challenge, particularly if the contractor responsible for closure is different from the one responsible for operations. 

On Scene Commander (OSC) The overall coordinator of an oil spill response team, usually a representative of an oil company, a government official, or an independent oil spill cleanup contractor responsible for on-site strategical decisions and actions throughout each phase of a cleanup operation and who maintains close liaison with the appropriate government agencies to obtain support and provide progress reports on each phase of the emergency response.

An independent contractor responsible to the construction manager or owner should do testing and balancing (TAB) of mechanical systems.

Section 10 CFR 830.205 of fhe Nuclear Safety Management rule, requires DOE contractors responsible for Cafegory 1, 2, or 3 DOE nuclear facilities develop TSRs. These TSRs identify the limitations to each government-owned contractor-operated (GOCO) nuclear facility based on the DSA and any additional safety requirements established for the facility. Although not required by the Rule 830, there also may be a need to establish TSRs for the safe operation of radiological facilities (DOE Order 5480.22). 

Title 10 CFR 830, Subpart B—Safety Basis Requirements—requires the contractor responsible for a DOE nuclear facility to analyze the facility, the work to be performed, and the associated hazards and to identify the conditions, safe boundaries, and hazard controls necessary to protect workers, the public, and the environment from adverse consequences (DOEG 421.1-2). These analyses and hazard controls constitute the safety basis on which the contractor and DOE rely to conclude that the facility can be operated safely.

This entails a consideration of the risks and a determination of the means to be used to minimise them. When the site work begins, the electrical contractor responsible for the temporary installation has to plan his work so that it can be done safely.

The importance of contract fonn needs to be appreciated whether a project is predominantly in-housc with perhaps relatively small involvement of subcontractors, or the entire work is to be entrusted to a contractor. Responsibility for commissioning needs to be dearly defined to avoid ambiguities at a later stage. 

Some facilities prefer to provide a safety orientation to each and every contractor and subcontractor employee as a condition of gaining access to the facility to ensure that the orientation is rigorous and to ensure that there is documentation of the orientation and that each person understood the content. If safety orientation is a contractor responsibility, the program should include an acknowledgment by the contractor that appropriate site safety training will be provided to all contractor employees and subcontractor employees before work begins on the premises as well as the transmittal of documentation that the orientations were conducted and understood. 

SRSPO procedures shall clearly define line responsibilities for identifying and pursuing problems at the SR reactors. In addition, the procedures shall clearly state actions to be taken if contractor response is inadequate for the situation.
