1CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY POMONA CONTRACTOR SAFETY HANDBOOK (01/26/2006)I.IntroductionCalifornia State Polytechnic University Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) recognizes that many hazards are inherent in construction and other contract work. Compliance with safety regulations can prevent most serious injuries. This guide will serve as notification of campus safety requirements to contractors, including subcontractors, who perform work at Cal Poly Pomona and any other facilities operated by the University. It should not be assumed that this guide covers all applicable safety and health laws. While onsite, contractors are required to follow applicable federal, state and local safety and health regulations, as well as, Cal Poly Pomona Policies.The contractor is responsible and accountable for the safety of their employees. However, the university reserves the right to require the contractor to discontinue operation at any time it determines that the contractors actions are exposing non- contractor individuals to an unsafe situation or environmental requirements/regulations are NOT being met. II.Emergency InformationContractors must abide by all alarms and evacuation procedures as established by CAL POLY POMONA. Any alarm triggered by the contractor must be reported immediately and a representative must be available to address the incident. In the event of an emergency, the contractor should report the incident to CAL POLY POMONA Police & Parking Services at 9-1-1 or 909-869-3070.Important Telephone Numbers:All Emergencies9-1-1 (From Non-Campus Telephones 909-869-3070)Blue Emergency PhonesPress Button and Dial 9-1-1Environmental Health 909-869-4697 & Safety (EH&S)Facilities Design and Construction909-869-4100Facilities Management Customer Service 909-869-30302Reporting Injuries.

Within 48 hours of an incident, the contractor shall furnish EH&S with a copy of any accident/incident report that is generated on the campus. Such reports must include a medical description of the injury (if applicable) and action taken to prevent recurrence. If a person is seriously injured, the contractor will keep the campus informed of that persons condition through the Project Manager/Inspector of Record (IOR). III.General RequirementsContractor Employee Conduct The contractor shall insure that their employees and their sub-contractor employees conduct themselves in a proper manner while on the university campus. Gestures, remarks, cat calls, whistling, or anything of a derogatory nature will not be tolerated. Emergency Evacuations Upon hearing any alarms or obtaining notification from university police or building emergency personnel, the contractor must stop all work. This includes ceasing all welding and burning activities and shutting off all equipment. The contractors personnel shall evacuate to a location 150 feet away from the building, which has been pre-determined by the contractor. The contractor shall take a head count to insure that all contract personnel are accounted for. The contractor will report any individuals that cannot be accounted for to police or building emergency personnel to coordinate possible rescue attempts with emergency response personnel. Contractor personnel shall remain in the area until the “ALL CLEAR” is announced and they are instructed to return to work by the university police or designee. CCR T19 3.10Exit Signs Tritium gas-containing (radioactive) exit signs are not allowed for use on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. Contractors must use the exit signs specified as the campus standard. The contractor may use these radioactive exit signs on a temporary basis only. The signs, however, remain the property of the contractor who will be responsible for removing them from campus at the end of the project and/or paying the disposal and cleanup costs should a sign be broken. CAL POLY POMONA PolicyFire Alarms Fire alarms must remain operational at construction sites involving occupied buildings. In the event that the alarm system must be deactivated for more than four hours, the contractor must notify the Project Manager/IOR. The University 3Building Official (Associate Vice President for Facilities Planning & Management) must authorize deactivation of the fire alarm. Approval to shut down a system will be given only with sufficient prior notice, where there is a demonstrated need, and the occupants of the building are not exposed to undo risk.A fire watch is required whenever a university fire alarm system is deactivated for more than four hours. University Police are responsible for providing a fire watch service. The contractor is responsible for paying the university for the fire watch.
