Contractor's duty to protect the health and safety of workers

The Contractor shall at all times take all reasonable precautions to maintain the health and safety of the Contractor's Personnel. In collaboration with local health authorities, the Contractor shall ensure that medical staff, first aid facilities, sick bay and ambulance service are available at all times at the Site and at any accommodation for Contractor's and Employer's Personnel, and that suitable arrangements are made for all necessary welfare and hygiene requirements and for the prevention of epidemics.

The Contractor shall appoint an accident prevention officer at the Site, responsible for maintaining safety and protection against accidents. This person shall be qualified for this responsibility, and shall have the authority to issue instructions and take protective measures to prevent accidents. Throughout the execution of the Works, the Contractor shall provide whatever is required by this person to exercise this responsibility and authority. The Contractor shall send, to the Engineer, details of any accident as soon as practicable after its occurrence. The Contractor shall maintain records and make reports concerning health, safety and welfare of persons, and damage to property, as the Engineer may reasonably require.

This Sub-Clause sets out the Contractor's overall responsibility for health and safety. Liaison with local health authorities may result in their facilities being used as ambulance service, for example. The importance of planning for possible accidents must not be overlooked. If the local facilities seem likely to be insufficient for the numbers of personnel on Site, the Contractor must overcome the shortfall. In certain circumstances, it may even be necessary for him to provide a fully-equipped hospital.
