14.0 HAZARD COMMUNICATION
The Contractor and Subcontractors shall notify the Contractor CSO of any hazardous products prior to
bringing the chemical on site and shall provide a MSDS for each product. These MSDSs shall be maintained
by the Contractor CSO and shall be kept in a site master file. In addition, each Subcontractor shall maintain
a copy of the MSDS for each product that they bring on-site.
The CSO will have the responsibility to review MSDSs for hazardous materials proposed for the site in
order to investigate potential alternate products that are non-hazardous.
The Subcontractor shall review with the Contractor CSO the procedures for handling, using and storing the
chemicals brought on-site, and shall review with their personnel the proper procedures for handling, using
and storing the chemicals before the product is used on-site. This includes but is not limited to all
commercial products brought on-site by Subcontractors, including commercial cleansers, degreasers,
lubricants and paints.
