In addition, the following may be mandated by local laws, requiring full compliance by Vendor

adopt the following as “Above and Beyond Goals” and as part of their management practices:
A. Health and Safety Management Practices: Vendors and Facilities shall appoint a

importance of health and safety, and good sanitation. Vendors and Facilities are to take
steps and adopt procedures to prevent accidents, injury and the spread of
communicable diseases. Readily understandable instructions and signs are to be

of dangerous equipment and hazardous materials. Workers who use hazardous or
flammable materials or operate dangerous equipment must be properly trained.
C. First Aid and Emergency Care: On-site trained first-aid personnel are to be
available at all times. Well-stocked general first-aid medical supplies are to be located
throughout the Facility. In the event of any serious injuries, workers are to be provided
with medical treatment at the closest outside medical facility. These services are to be
provided at no cost to the workers, unless such workers’ health insurance coverage, if
any, provides otherwise.

grounds. They are, however, to be instructed on the importance of safety and, if they
live in Facility dormitories where local law allows curfew hours, they are to be
notified of the curfew. Foreign contract workers are not subject to lock-in/lock-out
policies.
