1 Introduction

Welcome to Pfizer Global Supply. This Contractor EHS manual has been prepared for Contractors,

their subcontractors, and visitors servicing Pfizer Puerto Rico facilities.

Contractors shall ensure that all employees have reviewed the sections of this document that are

applicable to the work they perform. This document does not relieve the Contractor of their

responsibility to comply with all applicable local, state and federal regulations, laws, ordinances, or

statutes, and Pfizer Global Supply requirements.

Pfizer seeks to engage Contractors who dedicate themselves each day to maintaining an accident-free

work place. SAFETY IS OUR #1 CONCERN. THERE IS NEVER AN ACCEPTABLE REASON FOR COMPROMISING

SAFETY.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing operations are potentially hazardous. Many of these activities involve

the use of known hazardous, flammable, or toxic substances, intermediate drug compounds, and a

broad-range of biological materials, each with its own set of hazards and risks. Contractors must be

aware that numerous hazards exist throughout our Sites, and that the hazards vary widely from lab

bench to lab bench, from floor to floor, and from building to building.

As evidenced by the thousands of Pfizer colleagues safely working at our sites, these hazards can be

effectively managed by following a few standard safety procedures. What is key to remember, is that

whether working at an active production facility, in a laboratory, or even an office, it is every Contractor’s

responsibility to seek out and understand workplace safety precautions, and to take those actions that

will allow them to work safely in their assigned work areas. Each Contractor’s individual responsibility is

to exercise educated, sound judgment and use their own experience and expertise to incorporate EHS

considerations into everything they do.

The goals of this Pfizer Contractor EHS Manual are to:

Assist Contractors in meeting their responsibilities to provide a safe work environment

for their employees, subcontractors, visitors and Pfizer employees at all times;

Provide a safety program to prevent accidents, injuries, and property damage;

Provide general guidance for Pfizer specific issues, and identify additional policies and

resources for reference and support.

Pfizer is committed to achieving full compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations, as

well as Pfizer Corporate Standards. These standards apply to:

All construction and demolition Contractors,

All personnel of Consultant Firms, and

All site support service contractors and subcontractors (including: food service, janitorial,

lab or production support, administrative, security and maintenance).

These Standards are not intended to be inclusive of all local, state, and federal laws and regulations

that Contractors are obligated to comply with.

The Pfizer sponsor shall:

Serve as a primary point of contact for all Contractor related issues.



Inform the Contractor of any specific potential hazards that may be present in the

Contractor’s work area;

Establish inspection frequency with contractor.

Review Contractor safety performance previous to contract award. The evaluation

should include, but not limited to,

Safety Program to ensure compliance with this guideline.

Review OSHA 300A log for the past three years and current.

Request training evidence for all the employees to be working in the project.

Credentials for the Safety Officer(s) and competent professional(s).

Help the Contractor negotiate the Pfizer organization structure to facilitate timely and

effective coordination of efforts;

Coordinate with EHS to proactively identify and resolve EHS issues in a timely

and efficient manner.

Continually seek out opportunities to improve the overall EHS performance on

their projects, and

Ensure that all required EHS documentation is maintained (training records, permits,

Communicate special events that impacts regular operations beyond project areas,

which includes but not limited to, blocking roads or service areas, crane event, fire

systems disconnections, etc

Ensure contractors comply with medical requirements, when applicable.

6.6 Pfizer General Safety Orientation

To ensure that all Contractor employees are aware of the basic safety requirements within

Pfizer facilities, every employee is required to attend the General Safety Orientation prior to

receiving an identification badge. This regularly scheduled orientation is offered by the Pfizer

sponsor. All Contractor personnel are required to attend a refresher course annually. The

General Safety Orientation provides an overview of rules and expectations involving daily on-

site Contractor activities.



A badge is issued to each contractor’s employee that takes the General Safety Orientation,

however this is not an authorization to walk through Pfizer facilities without proper escort. The

badge must be visible at all times.

In addition to the General Safety Orientation, a Pfizer sponsor will provide a special site-

specific orientation at each work location prior to the Contractor starting work.

Contractors who plan to attend the Orientation should pre-schedule their attendance

through their Pfizer sponsor, and arrive at the training room with signed and completed

access paperwork provided by the Pfizer sponsor.

6.7 Orientation - Language Exception

A Contractor worker who is unable to communicate in Spanish adequately to complete

the General Safety Orientation can be accommodated provided the employer submits a

written action plan for assuring the safety of the worker while at Pfizer site (this plan is to

be submitted prior to the worker arriving at the site).

In the event the non- Spanish-speaking Contractor worker intends to achieve a valid

Contractor badge, the employer must:

Provide a written plan to Pfizer indicating how safety of the worker and other

requirements of this Manual will be maintained

Provide an interpreter to assist the General Safety Orientation instructor to teach

the individual in his native tongue.

Provide a designated escort to accompany the worker 100% of the time and to

serve as interpreter.

7 Post Award Safety Submittals & Pre-Mobilization Planning The Contractor must submit evidence of their safety program and compliance of training of their

employees to their Pfizer sponsor before work begins. Examples of the types of training topics that may

be requested, but not limited, include:

8 Pre-Task Planning

8.1 Coordination Responsibilities

Due to the nature of construction operations within Pfizer facilities, it is likely that there will be

multiple Contractors on a given project and potentially multiple projects proximate to each

other. This multi vendor, multi project circumstance presents an additional layer of potential

safety hazards. It is the responsibility of each and every Contractor to fully and properly

coordinate their activities with other site Contractors and to consider the activities of others in

protecting the safety of their employees.

To the extent possible, coordination of schedules, work activities, etc. will be done through the

designated Pfizer sponsor; however, communications among and between neighboring

Contractors is prudent.

8.2 Pre-Construction Safety Meeting

Prior to starting work on any given project at Pfizer facilities, the Contractor shall attend a Pre-

Construction Safety Meeting. The primary purpose of this meeting is to have the Contractor

demonstrate and understand project conditions and safety requirements. As such, all

appropriate Contractor personnel (principal, foreman, etc.) shall be in attendance along with

the designated Pfizer sponsor. The contractor compliance representative should attend this

meeting when the Pfizer sponsor considers that is necessary. A job site tour shall be made to

confirm conditions and the Contractor’s awareness of potential safety hazards.

Prior to this meeting, the Contractor shall have submitted their Safety Plan with all required

project submittals (Job Safety Analysis, Permits, Licenses, Trainings, etc). At this meeting a

schedule for regular project safety meetings shall be established. The Contractor’s Project

Manager and designated contractor compliance representative shall meet with their Pfizer

sponsor periodically to review the safety conditions of the job. The Site Safety program will be

observed and followed at all times.

The Site Emergency Evacuation Plan will be discussed and agreed upon. The Contractor and

all of his sub-contractors shall be made aware of the plan to follow in case an emergency

situation.



8.3 Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

For jobs that represent a high hazard risk to employees and are not covered in any Work

Permit (Section 9), a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) must be submitted and approved prior to

commencing work (Appendix A).

The Contractor is responsible of discussing the approved JSA with his/hers personnel prior to

commencing work. All employees must sign the JSA to acknowledge that it was discussed

and understood.

If the Contractor identifies a risk (during the work execution) that was not considered in the

approved JSA, it is his/hers responsibility to notify the unsafe conditions to the assigned

Sponsor or Compliance Contractor.

The Compliance Contractor will evaluate the new risks and will revise the approved JSA

incorporating the risks identified. The JSA revised, after it is approved, will be discussed once

again with the employees and signed. A copy of the JSA will be maintained in the working

area during the process of the job.

8.3.1 JSA Outline

Job Safety Analysis should address/recognize appropriate issues, such as, but not

limited to:

Barricades

Communication

Confined Space Entry

Crane Rigging Plans

Dust Control

Electrical work

Emergency and Evacuation Plans

Excavations/ Trenches/ Shoring

Fall Protection

Fire Protection

Hazard Analyses

Road Blockages

Special equipment and/or training

Strains/sprains (weight lifting limits)

Extreme Temperature

Weather limitations

Scaffolding and Erection Plan

Secure Temporary Facilities

Steel Erection

Roof Work

Environmental Aspects

Plan should also address any other issues unique to the particular project.

9 Work Permits

Because of the broad range of facilities and operations located across Pfizer sites, several

permits have been developed to meet a broad range of safety requirements.

Certain activities require a task-specific permit. Permit required activities include, but are not limited

to:

Confined Space Entry Permit

Excavation Permit

Lock Out / Tag Out Permit

Hot Work

Process Lines Work Permit

Electrical Work



10 EHS Program Enforcement

It is the responsibility of each Contractor to comply with the policies and intent of this manual as well

as applicable federal, state, local, and Pfizer requirements. Violations will be brought to the attention

of the personnel involved and the responsible supervisory personnel. Identified violations must be

promptly addressed and corrected. Violations may result in work stoppage at the Contractor’s cost

and will result in progressive enforced action that range from temporary to permanent expulsion of

personnel from the site. If the violations are severe or repetitive, the Contractor may be prohibited

from working for Pfizer in the future. If a Contractor fails to correct a problem, Pfizer reserves the right

to take corrective action and back-charge the cost of any corrective action to the Contractor. Contract

language enables Pfizer to dismiss any individual, crew, or Contractor who fails to comply with the

Pfizer safety, security and environmental rules and regulations.

Contractors may be required to take other corrective actions such as conducting an incident review,

stopping work, holding safety stand down for the entire crew or company, providing increased training

employees, etc. at the discretion of Pfizer.

10.1 EHS Inspections

Contractors are required to conduct and document periodic safety inspections of their

work areas and practices, and those of their subcontractors. Pfizer conducts routine

tours of work areas to evaluate Contractor safety performance, and will request

correction of any observed deficiency. Contractor shall immediately correct hazardous

conditions noted. These observations do not relieve the Contractors of their obligation

to train their workers, provide a safe workplace for them, and insure that they are

working safely.

It is expected that the contractors keep their TIR & LTA rates below the National index

by attending properly the safety inspections in a proactive manner. These safety

inspections were implemented to help the contractor to maintain and improve their

performance

If the contractors safety rate (taken by periodical safety inspections) decrease during

their time working at Pfizer, an action plan to improve their rate shall be developed by

the contractor and approved by the Pfizer Sponsor. Once the action plan is approved,

an immediate implementation is expected. If after the implementation of this plan, the

safety rate does not improve, disciplinary action could be implemented.

10.1.1 Pfizer Site Construction Safety and Environmental Inspection Form

Pfizer’s Site Construction Safety and Environmental Inspection Form

(Appendix D) provide Pfizer Project Engineers or their designees with an

internal means of evaluating project safety and environmental performance

relative to Pfizer safety criteria. Pfizer’s expectation is that all contractors will

continually audit their projects to insure complete compliance with all local,

state, and federal laws and regulations.



Projects will be evaluated against key environmental, health, and safety

compliance elements and will consider factors, such as:

1. Recognizable EHS risk,

2. Performance consistent with the current Pfizer and OSHA standards.

10.2 Disciplinary Actions

If a critical situation is observed during an inspection or a serious incident occurs in the

project, an interdisciplinary team composed by Pfizer sponsor (team leader), EHS,

Procurement and Contractor Compliance will be appointed to evaluate the situation.

Serious violations could result in disciplinary actions, which may include removal from

the prequalification system and immediate removal from the site. The interdisciplinary

team will evaluate the case, determine corrective actions, agree on responsible person

to execute/communicate the plan, and inform the contractor accordingly.

10.3 Monthly Safety Summary

The Contractor is required to submit to the Pfizer EHS Contractor Safety Coordinator a

monthly safety summary. At a minimum, this report shall include, but will not be limited to:

The total number of hours worked during the reporting period by project

The cumulative number of hours worked on the job (or site) as of the end of the

reporting period;

The total number of near misses that occurred on the job during the reporting period;

The total number of incidents that occurred on the job during the reporting period;

The total number of injuries or illnesses requiring first aid treatment that occurred on the

job during the reporting period;

The total number of injuries or illnesses (recorded on the OSHA 300 log) that occurred

on the job during the reporting period, and

The total number of injuries or illnesses resulting in a lost workday that occurred on the

job during the reporting period.



11 Chemical Safety

11.1 Chemicals at Pfizer

Pfizer maintains a constantly changing inventory of hundreds of distinct or novel chemical

compounds, ranging in quantities from test tubes to tanker trucks. Managing chemical storage

and handling to prevent cross contamination, human exposure, or adverse interactions is a

monumental task.

When working at Pfizer, all Contractors need to recognize that chemical hazards vary from lab

to lab, floor to floor, and from building to building. Review of signage, placards, warning

devices, and site-specific procedures is an important task for all Contractors.

Because a majority of commonly used commercial construction materials, as well as cleaning

products, are complex chemical mixtures, they present equivalent health and safety risks to

those presented by Pfizer process chemicals.

When dealing with any chemical, it is important to remember that improper handling or

uncontrolled exposure may, but not limited to:

Release noxious odors and harmful or deadly vapors;

Create fire or explosions;

Burn or irritate eyes, skin, or respiratory tract on contact;

Create short-term or immediate (acute) health effects;

Result in long-term (chronic) health problems;

Cause immediate death;

Pfizer sponsors are responsible for notifying Contractors of the potential hazards that may be

encountered given the scope of their work activities that are specific to Pfizer manufacturing,

maintenance, or storage activities. General hazard potential notification shall be provided at

the General Safety Orientation. Site and/or activity specific hazard notification shall be

identified for each Contractor in writing.

11.2 HAZARD COMMUNICATION (HAZCOM) & Material Safety Data Sheets (Right to Know)

Contractors must provide to Pfizer contractor compliance a written inventory and MSDSs of all

chemicals they plan to use (prior to mobilization). Contractors must notify in advance any

change in the chemical inventory and will provide a copy of the new MSDS. All MSDSs

require approval from EHS.

A hard copy of the Contractor's written Hazard Communication Program, chemical inventory,

and MSDS’s shall be available at the job site for review by Pfizer and the Contractor’s

employees. “Available at the job site” shall mean collected in a binder or folder system, clearly

labeled “Hazard Communication – Right to Know” and “Material Safety Data Sheets” and



placed at the actual work location with the project permits and personnel accountability board

where it may be immediately accessed by project or emergency services personnel. This

provides:

Instant access for info related to a specific chemical,

An instant inventory for emergency responders of the chemicals in a work area,

A physical copy of the MSDS that can be sent with a patient when transported for

emergency medical treatment.

The contractor company shall train all employees as per their written Hazard Communication

Program. All containers shall have legible appropriate labels. The name of the material on the

label, the written inventory, and in the MSDS must be the same.

HAZCOM requirements apply to all chemical based materials, including but not limited to:

Paints

Adhesives (flooring, insulation, piping, metal bonding, etc.)

Sealants

Caulks

Etching compounds (Acidic or Basic)

Cleaning fluids, powders, or pastes

Flammable gases (i.e.: propane)

Non-flammable gases (i.e.: argon)

Flammable liquids

Lubricants

Blasting materials

Solvents

Silica / Silicosis

Any other potentially explosive or hazardous material or any substance considered

flammable, hazardous, extremely hazardous, toxic or deadly by the US EPA, US

DOT, CT DEP or other applicable regulatory body.

Chemicals shall not be stored overnight at the project location or Pfizer facilities without

approval of the Pfizer sponsor. If over-night storage is required, arrangements must be made

through the Pfizer sponsor. Contractors shall store their chemical materials or

hazardous/regulated waste containers in contained locations, approved by Pfizer to prevent

releases to the environment. Containers must be in good condition, clearly labeled, and free

of rust and dents. These containers must comply with all regulatory requirements for adequate

storage.



The Contractor shall coordinate with the Pfizer sponsor for proper offsite disposal of all

containers and leftover chemical materials brought to Pfizer facilities. Under no

circumstances shall any waste material (paint thinner, paint, acid, cement or cement

washout, lime, oil, gasoline, hazardous materials, etc.) be poured into Pfizer sinks,

drains, soil or released to the environment.

The use of the chemical should also be reflected in the Job Safety Analysis, as any scope of

work involving the use of chemicals cannot be adequately planned without the information

contained in the MSDS (i.e.: acceptable exposure levels, personnel exposure monitoring

requirements, instructions for safe use, required personal protective equipment, etc.).

11.3 Asbestos and Lead (Pb) In Construction

Please contact the Pfizer EHS department regarding site specific Asbestos Programs. The

Pfizer Representative is required to evaluate an area prior to initiating any construction

activities to confirm that the work areas are free of asbestos containing material (ACM), or to

schedule pre-construction abatement activities.

11.4 Flammable Liquids

The following general guidelines apply to the use and storage of flammable liquids at Pfizer

facilities. Adequate hazard analysis must be performed prior to import and storage of

flammable liquids at Pfizer facilities.

Inventory of flammable liquids shall be kept to the absolute minimum possible.

Solvents may only be stored in solvent storage areas or cabinets. Solvents may not

be stored on bench tops or floors. For quantities in excess, special permission must

be secured from the Pfizer contractor compliance.

Solvents must be stored in ventilated cabinets designed for solvent storage. These

cabinets must be equipped with closable metal doors and must not contain any

ignition sources such as electrical outlets, switches, motors, etc. These cabinets

should be reasonably well sealed so that solvent vapors are contained and do not

easily travel to an ignition source.

Solvents must be kept away from traffic areas.

Unnecessary or unused solvents should be disposed of promptly in coordination with

the Pfizer EHS and Utilities representatives.

Every effort should be made to reduce solvent volumes including the use of pint and

liter containers instead of gallons.



All flammable liquids should be stored in tightly sealed containers.

Safety cans should be used wherever possible for flammable liquids.

Unless properly equipped, ordinary electric refrigerators are not adapted to the storage

of volatile, flammable solvents.

Do not keep small bottles of volatile, flammable liquids in the sunshine or where heat

from a hot plate, burner, or other device may cause the stopper to blow out and release

vapors.

The liquids or their vapors should never be exposed to the atmosphere in the presence

of flame, sparks, or hot surfaces, such as electric heating elements and non-explosion

proof motors in operation.

Sources of ignition some distance away may cause an explosion or fire from vapors

heavier than air that seek the lowest level and may float along the floors for

considerable distances.

Solvents must be transported in solvent carriers to minimize breakage during transport

and to contain spills should they occur.

In the case that spill occurs, the contractor will be responsible for its proper container

as well as its disposal. Any spill needs to be informed to the Pfizer representative.

All containers, drums, and safety cans must be properly grounded and bonded before

the dispensing of the flammable liquid.

All faucets or spouts must be of the self-closing type equipped wi th flame arrestors.

11.5 Compressed Gas Cylinders

The following items represent the minimum requirements for contractors while handling compressed gas cylinders inside the Pfizer premises. The amount of gas cylinders is limited to daily use (otherwise approved by the PM) and must be:

Identified with the Contractor’s name,

Stored and transported upright and in a secure position with proper protective caps.

Handle as an explosive material

Secured with a non-combustible restraint of sufficient strength, such as chains or nylon straps, to prevent overturning of the cylinder. The use of common or electrical wire as a cylinder restraint is prohibited.

Acetylene and oxygen cylinders or other non-compatible materials must be stored

separately (at least 20’ apart) and in well-ventilated areas.



11.6 Encountering Unknown or Suspected Hazardous Materials

If a Contractor encounters a material which is suspected to contain asbestos, lead paint,

soil contaminates, or any other hazardous chemical or condition, they shall stop work,

leave the area immediately, and report the situation immediately to Pfizer sponsor, who

will follow-up with the appropriate Pfizer personnel. The Contractor shall assume that

any unknown (or unidentified) paint should contain lead and all pipe insulation contains

asbestos material. Only properly licensed and trained Contractors shall disturb,

remediate, or remove materials containing lead or asbestos, or remediate contaminated

soil or residual chemical compounds in coordination with the Pfizer sponsor.

Contractors shall provide proof of proper licensing and training prior to the start of such

work.

11.7 Encountering Unknown or / Unexpected Conditions

If any Contractor encounters an unknown or unexpected condition, material, or circumstance,

work shall be immediately stopped and the Pfizer sponsor shall be immediately notified.

Proper and complete evaluation of the condition, material, or circumstance shall be completed

to Pfizer sponsor satisfaction prior to continuation of the work activity. Documentation of the

condition, the evaluation, and findings shall be produced for the project file.

Due to the broad range of activities conducted at Pfizer facilities, on occasion there is a need

to temporarily restrict access to areas of a site. As a general convention, the following

guidelines shall apply at Pfizer sites:

Yellow tapes shall be used to identify areas where temporary operations have altered

the normal configuration or use of the area, or where modified safety procedures may

be in place. Yellow shall signify the need for increased safety awareness, but shall not

prohibit entry to the area.

Red tapes or safety mesh shall be used where imminent hazards exist, or on-going

activities or conditions demand that access to the area be prohibited, or strictly

controlled. Red shall signify that entry to the area is prohibited. Boundaries

delineated by red tape or safety mesh shall not be crossed, except by the party

controlling the space, and only in accordance with the safety procedures applicable to

the area and activities.

Tape shall be used for temporary applications, typically less than a week.

For long term barricading and protection, safety fencing, mesh or chain link fencing

shall be installed. When fencing and railing are installed, it shall be as per

manufacturer’s instructions and sufficiently supported to resist a minimum of 200

pounds of leaning force without yielding. The barricade has to be approved by a

qualified Pfizer person.

monitoring required). Only NIOSH certified equipment.

For live electrical works on or near:

Fire retardant clothes according with the Hazard Risk Category (HRC), leather

gloves, insulated gloves, Safety shoes (EH) , Face shield according with the HRC,

safety glasses, ear plugs, ninja hood (balaclava) and blankets as required by the

NFPA 70E.

Non-conductive, insulated gloves, boots, and blankets as required by the NEC.

Approved fire resistant clothing as required by NFPA

15 Tools The Contractor shall be responsible for the following items:

Maintain power tools in a safe working condition

Designed safety features such as guards and interlocks shall NOT be removed or defeated.

Tools shall be tied off when in use above personnel or other dangerous equipment.

Tools powered by gasoline shall not be used inside occupied buildings unless prior permission given by EH&S

16 Electrical Safety Energized electrical equipment and services represent a significant hazard on every job site.

OSHA's electrical standards address the government's concern that electricity has long been

recognized as a serious workplace hazard, exposing employees to such dangers as electric

shock, electrocution, fires and explosions. OSHA’s regulations related to electrical safety

recognize two key hazard management tactics: elimination of the hazard through shut down

and isolation (Lock Out / Tag Out); or when live circuits must be maintained, protection from



contact through the use of guarding, insulation, and protective equipment. A special permit is

required for work with live energized equipment and shall be approved by Pfizer Management.

Not only must employee contact with electrical systems be avoided, fires and explosions due to

overheating and arcing of electrical systems must be prevented as well. Pfizer facilities contain

numerous “rated” areas where “explosion proof” or intrinsically safe lights, conduits, motors,

controllers, and switches are used to prevent the ignition of flammable or explosive liquids and

gases. Accidental use of non-rated equipment (such as cell phones, power tools, radios) in

these areas could have catastrophic consequences.

All contractors performing work at or near live energized equipment must follow the OSHA

standard requirements in 29 CFR1910.301-399, 1926.400-449, NFPA 70E and the site’s

Electrical Safety Program.

All contractor employees performing work at or near live energized equipment must be qualified

and received training on electrical safety practices, as contained in the OSHA standard. For live

Electrical Works electrical permit is required according with Pfizer Electrical Safety Program.

The following is a partial list of items to consider when working with or near energized systems:

All permanent and temporary electrical work shall be done in accordance with

National Electric Code, OSHA, our procedures and other applicable standards.

Electrical equipment must meet UL/FM approval for hazardous locations (explosion

proof or intrinsically safe) in all rated pharmaceutical production and warehousing

facilities, and other areas where appropriate.

Contractors shall utilize "ground fault circuit interrupter" (GFCI) protection at the

source when using electrical tools/equipment.

Temporary electrical services installed at job sites shall be equipped with GFCI

protection. GFCI shall also be used when exposed to water.

Electrical equipment inspection is to be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s

specifications, or on a quarterly basis at a minimum.

Frayed or cut electrical cords, or cords with damaged plugs or missing ground

plugs shall be immediately removed from service, rendered unusable, and removed

from the site. Defective tools cannot be stored in tool or gang boxes on site. Pfizer

reserves the right to remove from Site any defective tool or cord immediately.

Welding electrode connections require covers.

Extension cords must be at least 14-gauge heavy-duty three wire cords with a UL

approved three-prong plug, and must be used in conjunction with a ground fault

circuit interruption device located at the power source to protect both the cord and

the tool. Flat extension cords are not allowed on any Pfizer project.

All electrical power tools must be in good condition and equipped with three prong

grounded plug or must be clearly marked as double insulated.



Temporary area lighting, if required, must be powered by its own circuit and shall

not be used for any other purposes. Temporary lighting fixtures shall be hung from

the insulated grommet attached to the fixtures, and not by the cord or conductors.

Fixtures must be hung with non-conductive material. Fixtures cannot be hung from

fire sprinkler piping, water piping, or ceiling grid.

Welding leads, extension cords, hoses, cables and other such items are to be

suspended a minimum of 7 feet overhead, covered or otherwise protected, to

prevent damage to the cord and the creation of a tripping hazards. Cordless hand

tools are encouraged.

Disconnects (switches) shall be legibly marked to indicate the voltage , circuit and

warnings. Also shall be legibly marked to indicate the purpose, unless located

where the purpose is evident. When multiple disconnects are located on one

panel, each disconnect must be clearly labeled to identify the equipment or circuit it

controls.

Workspace required to access and service electrical systems shall not be used for

storage. The minimum clearance is a minimum of 36” front and 30” wide. No

grounded conductor may be attached to any terminal or lead so as to reverse

polarity. Verify polarity when using double-insulated tools.

Electrical connections shall be installed by qualified personnel and coordinated with

a Pfizer electrician. Certification of the installation by qualified personnel is

required.

.

Electrical tie-ins shall be conducted only on de-energized (locked out and tagged

out) systems. A special permit is required to perform live electrical works.

LOTO and Electrical Safety site procedures shall be followed.

None material can be stored on Electrical rooms.

Remember: isolate it, lock it, tag it, and try it.

Electrically Classified Areas

Pfizer PGS site has areas classified by OSHA as Class I, Class II, Division 1, Division 2,

as well as general purpose areas.

Class I, Division 1 or 2 areas contain flammable materials. Therefore, non electric or

electronic device may be brought in unless it either meets the electrical classification (is

intrinsically safe) or is used with a hot work permit.

Class II, Division I, Division II is an area that contains or exist the possibility of containing

combustible dust. Therefore, non electric or electronic device may be brought in unless it

either meets the electrical classification.



General purpose is an area that does not contain flammable material or combustibles

dust.

Electrical equipment being installed must meet with area or room electrical classification.

17 Excavation and Trenching Pfizer requires that all excavation work (over 4 feet depth) be conducted under the direction of a

Competent Person for Excavation and Trenching, in accordance with the OSHA standard (1926.650-

652). The Contractor must submit evidence of training for the project’s designated Competent

Person prior to mobilization to the site.

Additional safety considerations for excavation and trenching activities include:

Verify the facility drawings to avoid any potential risk associate with the underground utilities.

The area where earth-moving equipment is working must be barricaded to protect all personnel in

the area.

Excavation equipment must be properly grounded at all times.

If the Contractor encounters any suspect material (i.e. discolored soil, pipe not on Pfizer’s excavation

package drawings), the Contractor shall stop immediately and contact his Pfizer sponsor. If the soil

is contaminated, Pfizer will arrange for its proper removal and disposal.

All personnel working near operating machinery shall where high visibility reflective vests.

Excavations greater than 4 feet deep require a sloping or shoring plan that is designed by a

competent person. Trenches less than 4 feet deep also should be protected when studies show

hazardous ground movement might be expected. For excavation more than 20 feet the design must

be by a professional Engineer License.

18 Hot Work “Hot Work” is a particular safety concern at Pfizer.

A “Hot Work” permit is required for all torch cutting, welding, grinding and spark or heat

generating activities.

During the job a gas detector calibrated must be use to monitor the atmosphere if exist

the possibility of flammable atmosphere.

Sparks must be contained within the immediate work area.

A “fire watch” is required for hot work jobs.

The designated fire watch person shall be adequately trained by the Contractor to use

fire extinguishers or other fire equipment in case of an event.



Contractor will provide a trained, dedicated fire watches with an ABC extinguisher in good

operating conditions.

No hot work is allowed unless the fire watch is in the immediate work area and within

sight of the hot work.

The fire watch will not perform any duties other than fire watching while hot work is being

performed.

Additional fire watches are also required in other areas that flame or slag may potentially

fall.

Only fire resistant tarps shall be used to catch "slag" and protect equipment against fire.

Contractors shall maintain documentation that fire extinguisher training was completed

for each employee with fire watch responsibility and all employees involved in hot work.

Fire watch will stay at job site for an hour after job is complete to assure that no fire or

other incident is developed aftewards.

19 Steel Erection The Contractor will prepare a steel erection plan per OSHA guidelines (1926.750-761) describing the

Contractor’s work plan and safety measures for review by the Pfizer contractor compliance prior to the

start of work. Fall protection must be discussed prior to any exposure. 100% fall protection and

prevention are required for all operations including connecting, erecting, bolt up, decking installation,

etc. Walking, climbing steel without fall protection is unacceptable. Steel erectors must use man lifts,

Miller system, or other measures to assure 100% fall protection. A safety railing complying with

OSHA of top and mid rail of 1/2-inch wire rope or equal and toe board around the periphery of all

floors and floor opening is required. Maintenance of the perimeter railing system shall be the

responsibility of the steel erector unless otherwise specified in the contract documents. Whenever

practical, the steel erector shall not cut the floor openings. The Contractor who will use the opening

shall only cut floor openings and provide OSHA compliant protection thereafter.

20 Fall Protection

20.1 General

Once a worker leaves the floor, an elevated work situation is created and a proper work

platform must be provided according OSHA standard (1926.500-503). 100% fall protection is

required in areas where the fall hazard is 6 feet or greater from the worker’s foot-level, or

where the individual is working over dangerous equipment. For general industry, according to

OSHA standard (1910.23), fall protection applies where fall hazard is 4 feet or greater. Such



protection must be either approved guardrails or a combination of safety harness and lanyard.

Anchorage points for tie off shall be able to sustain a minimum load of 5000 lb. per person and

be located at or above the workers shoulder level, at a sufficient height to allow the lanyard to

arrest the fall prior to the employee impacting with the surface or equipment below. Pipes

such as a cable trays and electrical conduit are not to be used for anchors or platforms. Small

diameter pipes, cable trays and electrical conduit are not to be used for anchors or platforms.

Anchor points must be within 6 feet of the worker or else a retractable harness must be used.

Lanyards cannot be strung together. Safety harnesses and lifelines shall be visually inspected

before each use and replaced if found defective or expired.

Examples of elevated work locations requiring fall protection include working on roofs, decks

or platforms within 6 feet of the edge, incomplete scaffolds, working off ladders, ladders or

step ladders adjacent to floor openings where there is fall potential.

20.2 Roof Work

Working on a roof within six feet of the edge requires appropriate fall protection (railings or

safety lines with the proper PPE). The following items represent the minimum requirements

for contractors while working at roof in the Pfizer premises:

Roofing materials shall not be stored within the building. Tar kettles, and similar

melting equipment must be located at least 25 feet, or more away from any building,

structure, or stockpiled combustible material.

Not less than two 15 pound dry chemical fire extinguishers must be provided, and be

readily accessible at each tar kettle location.

Tar kettles, melting equipment, and other fume producing types of equipment are not

to be located in the area of existing fresh air intakes.

The Project Manager prior to placement and start-up must approve the location of

such equipment

If the roof does not have a guardrail or life safety line, the use of safety mesh is

required to limit access of contractors to the edge.

20.3 Floor Openings

Working within six feet of a floor opening (skylight, hole, open hatch, etc.) requires

appropriate fall protection (railings or safety lines with the proper PPE). Floor openings

(holes) shall be protected with a fixed cover, using materials of sufficient strength to support

any imposed load or to equal the design floor loading capacity, or shall be guarded by a



standard OSHA-compliant fixed railing system with toe boards on all exposed sides except at

entrances to stairways.

When floor openings are protected with covers, the cover shall be clearly marked: “Danger-

Hole – Do Not Remove.” To minimize the exposure time, openings in floors shall not be cut

until the last practical moment, and then only by the Contractor who will utilize or fill this floor

penetration. For example, the concrete for a floor penetration in an elevated slab may be

boxed out, but the decking must be left in place to be cut by the mechanical Contractor who

will utilize the penetration. Precut holes in slabs and metal decking are discouraged. The

Contractor that cuts the floor opening shall be responsible to maintain it, unless “ownership” is

transferred to others in the contract documents.

20.4 Cranes and Material Hoist Operations

The Contractors shall comply with the manufacturer's specifications and limitations applicable

to the operation of any and all cranes and derricks Crane, derrick, and hoist safety hazards are

addressed in specific standards for the general industry, and the construction industry.

Contractors shall provide appropriate barriers around cranes and material hoists to protect

pedestrian and vehicular traffic around the operating area. When cranes are operating and

moving, flag men shall be provided by the contractor and utilized to prevent pedestrian and

vehicular traffic from crossing paths with the crane load.

The cranes must be certified as required and the personnel such as a rigger, operator and

designated signal person must be appropriated trained. A critical lift permit must be completed

each day prior to starting crane use. A pre-lift meeting is held at the start of the shift with all

personnel involved in the lifting operation.

Daily inspections to cranes and all lifting equipment shall be performed and inspection reports

kept with the equipment (refers to Section 12.8 for additional details).

Under no circumstances, slings with any potential loose thread or torn will be allowed on site.

Monthly inspections that document any deficiency will require it decommission.

20.5 Aerial Lifts

Only documented, trained personnel shall be allowed to operate Aerial Lifts according to

OSHA (1926.453-454 and 1910.67). Aerial lifts (scissors lifts and boom lifts) shall only be

used for lifting personnel and their tools and must not be used as material hoists. The

manufacturer’s load limitations and operating requirements must be complied with. Personnel

working in aerial lifts must be tied off to anchorages specifically designed for that purpose

(railings do not meet fall protection anchorage requirements). Lifts that are not equipped with

such anchorages shall not be used. Work shall only be accomplished from the floors of the

baskets and must not involve climbing on basket railings, ladders, or other elevating platforms.

Daily inspections will be performed and inspection reports kept on the equipment.



20.6 Ladders

The following items represent the minimum requirements for contractors while using ladders in

the Pfizer premises. OSHA standard (1926.1050-1060) also applies.

Ladders are to be visually inspected prior to each use. Ladders found to be

defective are to be removed from the project, and the site.

Only Type I heavy duty or higher ladders shall be used for construction activities.

Ladders must be properly placed on a sound footing.

All ladders shall be used in accordance with manufacturer’s requirements, and only

for the purpose of which they are intended.

Ladders must be secured (tied) at the top point of contact while in use. During the

initial climb to secure the ladder, a second person must be at the base holding the

ladder secure. When a ladder cannot be secured due to the absence of an available

object to tie to, the ladder must be supported by a second person throughout the

course of the work.

Ladders must not be used in the vertical or near vertical position. The base should

be placed ¼ of the ladder’s length out from the vertical plane.

All extension ladders shall extend at least 3 feet above the border where the ladder

rests.

The use of metal or wood ladders is strictly prohibited.

All ladders and their use must comply with OSHA, and company safety standards.

20.7 Scaffolds

All scaffolding, staging, and work platforms must satisfy the applicable OSHA regulations

(1926.450-454) and manufacturer’s erection requirements. The use of site built staging or

scaffolding is not allowed unless prior approval is obtained from the Pfizer representative and

the Contractor Safety Coordinator. The proper use of scaffolding requires that:

Choosing the Right Scaffold for the work.

The scaffold be erected and inspected by a trained, competent person.

The scaffold shall be equipped with an inspection tag with daily notations by the

competent person that the scaffold has been inspected and approved for use.

Footings and anchoring must be sound and rigid and capable of handling the

maximum intended load without settling or being displaced.

Scaffolding must be plumb and level before it can be used.



All scaffold planking shall be free of imperfections (Class A scaffold lumber), shall

completely cover the entire work area, and comply with all lapping and overhang

requirements as defined by OSHA scaffolding requirements.

Scaffold platforms more than six feet above any working surface must be equipped

with a top rail (42” height), mid rail (21” height), and a toe board (4” high) on all open

sides and ends. If the manufacturer’s requirements are more stringent (i.e. mobile

staging less than 45" wide), they shall superseded these minimum requirements.

Adequate access to work platforms shall be provided. Contractor personnel shall be

forbidden from accessing other platform levels by anything other than manufacturer-

approved stairways or ladders.

Scaffolds must comply with OSHA regulations.

Under no circumstances contractor’s personnel will be allowed to ride on mobile

scaffolds.

Compliant scaffolding will bear a green inspection tag, signed and dated by the

Contractor’s competent person each shift prior to use. If the green or yellow * tag is

not present, or it is not signed and dated, or a red tag is affixed, the elevated work

platform shall be considered unsafe for use. *yellow tag means the scaffold can be

used but some risks are present.

Scaffold erection / dismantling shall be directed by the Contractor’s competent person and in

accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications or the design and specifications of a

licensed professional engineer; specifications shall be available on site.

21 Housekeeping Housekeeping receives major emphasis at Pfizer, since a clean work site provides a solid foundation

for a safe work site. Each Contractor and all his employees are responsible for maintaining high

standards of cleanliness and orderliness; we will not accept anything less.

Housekeeping must be addressed on a continuous basis. Sloppy work practices will not be tolerated.

As a minimum, clean up of each work and lay down area must be done at the end-of-shift to a broom-

clean level. In occupied buildings the work area shall be mopped or swept daily. Hazardous,

flammable, trash, and/or excess waste material is to be removed from the work area daily, in

coordination with Pfizer Representative.

The second aspect of housekeeping is maintaining construction materials in a neat, consolidated, and

organized manner. Unused or excess/scrap materials shall be promptly removed from the site, in

coordination with Pfizer Representative. Contractor will maintain housekeeping conditions in

compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 standards.

a. Portable bathrooms - Porto let and washing facilities including hand sanitizers are to be provided

by construction contractors for use by his personnel. Company facilities are not to be used.

Contracted personnel engaged in providing technical support services or administrative support



may use company sanitary facilities. Secondary containment must be provided for the septic

tanks.

b. Tools and Equipment - Contractors are required to furnish their own tools and equipment. The

tools and equipment should be in good condition. Under no circumstances will they be allowed

to use company tools. The restriction includes lift trucks, hoists, cranes, ladders, etc. The

Sponsor and equipment owner shall authorize any exemption to this rule in writing.

All contractor personnel must be properly trained in the use of these devices, and equipment must be

correctly guarded, and fitted with proper protection.

The metal non-current carrying parts of all electrical appliances must be grounded. Contractors shall

implement either O.S.H.A.’s Ground Fault Interrupt Circuits (G.F.I.C.) or the Assured Equipment

Grounding Conductor Program. Under no circumstances will electrical powered tools be hoisted or

lowered by their electrical cord. All electrical powered tools shall be disconnected while not in use.

22 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Pfizer must assure its product quality and prevent product contamination and therefore have the

following guidelines for Contractors, as a minimum:

The use of appropriate clothing / uniform (with shirts tucked in), free of foreign matter is

required. All contractors need to use a disposable gown over the uniform / cloth when

going to work in the manufacturing areas.

It is mandatory the use of booties over the safety shoes in the manufacturing areas. The

contractors need to change the booties once he/she leave the construction site.

The use of hair nets and beard covers (if applicable) is mandatory to all contractors’

personnel in manufacturing and process areas.

Keep out of areas not assigned to; remember Contractors are authorized entrance only if

signed onto a permit

Eat or drink in manufacturing and process areas is PROHIBITED.

Do not move or use Pfizer containers because this could result in materials being mixed or

incompatible materials being stored together.

Keep your containers, food, beverages, personal items, and equipment out of Pfizer’s

operational work or storage areas.

Do not open or close windows or doors in a Pfizer operational or storage space.

Practice good housekeeping throughout the day. Store debris properly and dispose of daily

in the designated dumpsters.



The use of jewelry, makeup, contact lenses and false nails are not allowed inside

manufacturing areas and areas where such use represents a potential personal risk, as

determined by the Pfizer EHS Representative.

23 Roof Work / Roof Access Access to roof areas is strictly controlled, as numerous exhaust systems and vents may be

operational throughout such buildings. Roof access must be coordinated through the Pfizer

Representative and area personnel. System shut downs may need to be coordinated to work on, or

near, equipment that may present local hazards (such as chemical or thermal exposure) to workers

due to the composition of the exhaust stream.

The use of flammable torches and flammable cutting equipment are PROHIBITED, in performing cuts

on roof decks and metal siding. They should only be use after a Safe Work Plan (JSA) is completed

with established action plan.

24 Confined Space Entry A confined space, as defined in the OSHA standard, could present special hazards, such as limited

means of egress, potential accumulation of toxic or flammable contaminants, potential for having an

oxygen deficient atmosphere, or presents an entrapment or engulfment hazard. Confined spaces

include, but are not limited to: tanks, process vessels, bins, boilers, tunnels, , excavations as

applicable, ducts, sewers, and pipelines. Open-top spaces with a hazard potential, such as pits,

tubes, vaults and vessels, may also require a confined space permit as determined by the Pfizer

representative. Contractors conducting confined space entry work must have their own written

programs, including training requirements for all personnel involved in confined space entry

operations. Contractors must follow precautions outlined by Pfizer confined space entry procedures,

and be responsible for supplying equipment, tools and trained manpower per the permit. A confined

space permit is required for each work shift.

All confined space entries by contractor’s personnel must be completed in accordance with

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 and 1926.21 “Permit Required Confined Spaces”.It is the

contractor’s responsibility that before entering tanks, vessels, or other confined spaces,

safety representative must first inspect spaces.

All confined spaces when possible, should be emptied and thoroughly ventilated. The

contractor and facility safety personnel will test for oxygen content, flammable vapor, and

carbon monoxide.

All confined space entries are to comply with the Confined Space Entry Safety procedure.

The Project Manager will furnish additional instructions related to required safety equipment

for entry. This may involve the use of safety harnesses and lines, lookout assistance outside



the tank, blanking off lines, use of a respirator, and other items that may be required to

ensure safety entry into a confined space.

The Project Manager is responsible for the coordination of the rescue team availability

during the work in a confined space.

25 Environmental

25.1 Solid Waste Management - General Guidelines

Through daily activity, Contractors generate various types of solid waste. A solid waste is a

solid, liquid, semi-solid or contained gaseous material, which is to be discarded, or has served

its intended purposes. All solid waste generated on a Pfizer work site (construction debris,

boxes, pallets, etc.) must be removed and properly disposed in coordination with Project

owner and EHS Coordinator.

Contractors must supply their own waste collection containers, unless other means of

disposal is agreed upon with the Pfizer representative prior to the start of work.

The receptacle must be in good condition and labeled with the Contractor’s name and

the containers contents.

Waste collection containers must be located under a roofed structure or covered with

a waterproof top at all times.

Any regulated or hazardous waste generated by the Contractor (oil, paint, solvents,

gasoline, etc.) must be promptly removed from the site and properly disposed in

coordination with Pfizer Representative, project owner and EHS Coordinator.

The EHS Representative must approve off-site disposal facilities for construction and

demolition debris. Permits must be required for this operation.

Contractors shall submit to the Pfizer Representative their request for approval of the

disposal site in advance of the work activity.

Each disposal request must indicate the type, estimated volume and nature of the

waste, location of the disposal site, disposal site contact and phone number. Consider recycling alternative before sending any waste to landfill. In the event that Asbestos Containing Materials are found or suspected to exist in an

area to be demolished, contact the Pfizer project representative and EHS representative to discuss the steps to be followed.

Contractor shall not open Pfizer dike valves, fuel tank drainages, nor use such

material (fuel) for its own fuel consumption purposes.

Handling of refrigerant must be in compliance with all federal, state and local

regulations. Any refrigerant work must be coordinated with site refrigerant manager

and/or EHS. Submit evidence of compliance to EHS prior to commencing work.



Contractor must carry the necessary licenses and related evidence at all times. Class I

refrigerant work is not allowed on-site.Equipment, machinery or vehicles that are

leaking fuel or oil when inspected by a Pfizer Security Technicians at the entrance

gate will not be allowed to enter the premises.

Contractors shall provide documentation to their Pfizer Representative and EHS Coordinator

verifying proper treatment or disposal of non-hazardous waste. This documentation shall be

provided no later than the next proper working day that the non-hazardous waste is

transported for disposal. Pfizer will withhold payment for any invoiced disposal services that

are not fully supported with all required regulatory documentation.

25.1.2 Recyclables

Recyclable solid waste generated at Pfizer will be placed in properly designated

receptacles supplied by Pfizer. Contractors shall dispose as much materials as

possible into Pfizer receptacles. This activity should be performed in coordination with

recycling supervisor and Project Manager.

If the contractor send recycling material outside of Pfizer, it’s necessary to have

the EHS department approval of it. Once its recycled evidence of recycled

materials (pounds) will be submitted to EHS in a monthly basis.

All contractor company with more of 10 employees needs to have a written

Recycling Plan as required by (JCA) Local Law 411 of 2000.

25.2 Erosion and Sedimentation Control

Use of surfactant-type chemicals for dust control is not allowed at Pfizer.

Accumulated soil and dust shall be damp swept from the areas adjacent to the

construction zones as frequently as necessary to control fugitive dust emissions

from the work zone.

All roadways, walkways, and site work must have provisions for dust control

throughout the project. Roadway dust may require water spray or gravel cover.

Contractors shall spread a thin layer of crushed stone over earth or gravel surfaces

that are left exposed, as directed by Pfizer.

Emissions generated by drilling, hoe ram, jackhammer, grinding or bag dumping

operations require control by vacuum, watering, or other means to prevent the

release of fugitive dust.

Masonry and concrete are to be wet cut, unless other methods to control dust have

been approved.

Cement dust from bag stock should be swept up and properly disposed of not

watered down, due to pH concerns.

No pump discharges, power washing effluents, or similar wastewater may be

discharged into existing floor drains, sinks, storm water management system

structures, or the ground.



Concrete trucks, mortar mixers or grout pumps may only be washed out at a

designated washout area provided by the Contractor and approved by the Pfizer

representative.

All stockpiles of soil materials shall be surrounded by silt fences and covered with

plastic in case of rain. Plastic covers shall be secured with sufficient numbers of

sand bags to insure that the plastic remains in place throughout all forecast

weather conditions.

All concrete rubble piles must be located out of normal or expect drainage

pathways and surrounded by silt fences and covered with plastic in case of rain.

Run off from concrete rubble storage areas may interfere with Pfizer’s on-site storm

drain pH monitoring system if not properly contained and controlled.

Ensure that all chemicals are properly approved by the EHS Department prior to

delivery to any Pfizer site or commencing any work. Storage and handling of

flammable and combustible liquids shall be in compliance with OSHA requirements.

25.3 Spill Prevention

Contractors who import chemical-based products to Pfizer facilities shall provide a spill control

kit, compatible with the material to be used, and sized to accommodate a failure of the largest

single container they plan to import. Spill kits shall be immediately available in the work areas

where chemicals will be stored or used.

implementation of the scope of work.

Contractors shall obtain authorization from Pfizer EHS, five days in advance, prior

to introducing internal combustion engines of more than 10 horsepower capacity.

25.8 Environmental Inspections

Contractor work areas may be observed and inspected at any time to ensure

compliance. Pfizer EHS staff or designated representatives will perform inspections.



Any deficiencies noted during the inspection must be corrected immediately. Repeat or

serious violations could result in disciplinary action and/or expulsion from the site.

26 Vapor Emissions and Occupied Spaces Contractors conducting painting operations or other vapor producing activities (sealing, stripping,

chemical etching, adhesive application, etc.) must obtain prior approval from Pfizer Representative,

taking into account the location of their activities, and the impact to Pfizer employees, other

contractors, and production processes. Vapor emissions from the above-described activities have

the potential to adversely affect indoor air quality, or interfere with active science.

Contractors using vapor emitting products must prepare an air quality control plan that will maintain

indoor air quality below the permissible exposure limits set forth on the manufactures Material Safety

Data Sheet (MSDS). Contractors should be prepared to provide air monitoring equipment,

ventilation equipment, and engineering controls to document and maintain acceptable air quality.

In the event that suitable air quality cannot be achieved, Contractors should be prepared to schedule

activities outside of normal working hours, and protect their employees with an OSHA compliant

respiratory protection program.

Also to be considered is the location of air intakes when operating power equipment outside of

occupied buildings

27 Fugitive Emission Compliance (when applicable) Contractor working with process equipment like tanks, pumps and pipe must be aware to comply

with fugitive emissions program that can include PIPE CONNECTION and identification, ensure that

sampling valve have caps to avoid leak etc. It is contractor responsibility to contact EHS fugitive

emission program specialist to ensure is in compliance with the program.

28 Roof Sealing No contractor can apply sealants that contain any amount of VOC (Volatile Organic Compound),

without an EQB permit. This type of work shall be notified and coordinated with EHS.

29 Drain Line/Sewer line Storm water lines are exclusive for rain water only. Contractor shall take all necessary precautions

to avoid contaminate the storm water line while performing work in process or sewer lines. If it is

necessary, a dye test should be performed.

Also, contractor cannot perform any cleaning work close to storm sewers or sinkholes.

Construction Site Safety & Environmental Checklist

Pfizer has developed the following Construction Safety & Environmental checklist for use by Pfizer Project Managers and Sponsors as a means of inspecting key safety areas of a capital project. This tool can be used as an informal guide as you walk-down the project to evaluate various aspects of safety. This checklist is a tool, and should not be interpreted as an OSHA compliance auditing system. Pfizer does not provide OSHA compliance monitoring services to contractors and construction managers. Pfizer’s expectation is that all vendors will continually audit their staffs to ensure complete compliance with all local, state and federal laws and regulations.
