Each Contractor engaged to perform work in, on or about the Building is responsible for the safety of its employees, Subcontractors and their employees at all times any of them are performing work in or about the Building and for performing or causing the performance of that work to be conducted in a manner assuring the safety of all tenants and occupants and their employees, agents and invitees of the Building and the Building itself, such responsibility being primary and ultimate to Contractor.
Contractor acknowledges the paramount interest of Owner in obtaining assurances for the safety of all tenants and occupants and their respective employees, agents and invitees of the Building and of the Building itself. In light of this interest, Owner has developed this Tenant Construction Safety Policy to provide protocols by which Contractors performing work in the Building are to keep Owner informed of the work being performed from time to time in or about the Building and pursuant to which Owner is to be notified of safety incidents occurring in connection with that work. These policies also impose regulations that include requirements of prior notice and certain restrictions under which certain work may be performed in or about the Building.
Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the permission granted it by Owner to conduct any work in, on or about the Building is subject to Contractor’s compliance, and the compliance of its employees and Subcontractors and their employees, with these Safety Policies. Compliance with these policies is mandatory as to Contractor, its employees and Subcontractors and their employees, as conditions to Owner’s continued permission to permit them to perform the work in or about the Building; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, compliance with these policies IS NOT INTENDED AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED sufficient to satisfy the responsibilities of Contractor with respect to safety of persons and property as more fully outlined above. This policy does not replace any governmental rules, consensus standards, codes and regulations, and does not negate, abrogate, alter or otherwise change any provisions of these rules, codes and/or regulations. This safety policy is not intended to and shall not be deemed to replace the safety policy of any Contractor or Subcontractor but rather provide a framework in which those safety policies may be coordinated with the interests and safety concerns of Owner. Failure of any Contractor or any of its employees, Subcontractors or their employees to comply with the requirements of this Policy shall provide Owner cause, at its election, to require a work stoppage or withdraw permission for certain Contractors, Subcontractors or employees of either to continue the work or to enter the Building.
This Tenant Construction Safety Policy shall be a supplementary document to all contracts let by or on behalf of the tenants of the Building.
