VerDate jul<14>2003 20:33 Jan 27, 2005 Jkt 205001 The FAR clause at 48 CFR 52.236–13 Accident Prevention requires Federal construction contractors to keep records of accidents incident to work performed under the contract that result in death, traumatic injury, occupational disease or damage to property, materials, supplies or equipment. Records of personal inquiries are required by OSHA (OMB Control No. 1220–0029). The FAR requires records of damage to property, materials, supplies or equipment to provide background information when claims are brought against the Government. If the contract involves work of a long duration, the contractor must submit a written proposal for implementation of the clause. The Accident Prevention Plan, for projects that are hazardous or of long duration, is analyzed by the contracting officer along with the agency safety representatives to determine if the proposed plan will meet the requirement of the safety regulations and applicable statutes. The records maintained by the contractor are used to evaluate compliance and may be used in workmen’s compensation cases. The Accident Prevention Plan is placed in the contract file for reference. B.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The FAR clause at 48 CFR 52.236-13 Accident Prevention requires 
Federal construction contractors to keep records of accidents incident

or equipment. Records of personal inquiries are required by OSHA (OMB 
Control No. 1220-0029). The FAR requires records of damage to property, 
materials, supplies or equipment to provide background information when 
claims are brought against the Government.
    If the contract involves work of a long duration, the contractor 
must submit a written proposal for implementation of the clause. The 
Accident Prevention Plan, for projects that are hazardous or of long 
duration, is analyzed by the contracting officer along with the agency 
safety representatives to determine if the proposed plan will meet the 
requirement of the safety regulations and applicable statutes. The 
records maintained by the contractor are used to evaluate compliance 
and may be used in workmen's compensation cases. The Accident 
Prevention Plan is placed in the contract file for reference.
