Involvement Begins Before the Project Starts
It's important the employer communicate about safety during all phases of the construction project. From the time the project is conceived until it is finished, safety must be a part of the process.
During the Pre-Award phase, requirements are developed, solicitations are sought, contractors are selected and contracts are awarded.
Key safety related efforts during this phase include consideration of a contractor's past performance during the contractor selection process, establishment of appropriate safety and health requirements in contract specifications and ensuring the inclusion of applicable safety and health clauses.
