<br />11 <br />Contractor Duties <br />All contractors shall follow any and all Minnesota OSHA, Federal OSHA, MN DOT, <br />MPCA and other regulatory agency’s rules that pertain to their worksites in the <br />State of Minnesota. All contractors shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining <br />and supervising safety and health related policies, programs and work practices in <br />connection with the performance of contractual work. <br /> <br />Duties to Sub-contractors <br />Contractors that use sub-contractors shall be responsible for communicating any and <br />all safety and health related information to those sub-contractors and shall ensure <br />that sub-contractors initiate, maintain and supervise safety and health related <br />polices, programs and work practices while performing sub-contracted work. <br /> <br />Imminent Danger <br />In the event of an imminent danger situation, the City of Mounds View reserves the <br />right to suspend contracted work if said work exposes the employees of either <br />employer to imminent danger. <br /> <br />Imminent Danger Definition per MNOSHA: <br />Imminent danger situations are given top priority. An imminent danger is any condition or practice that <br />presents a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could occur immediately or before <br />the danger can be eliminated through normal enforcement procedures. MNOSHA becomes aware of <br />these situations through reports received from employees, the general public or direct observation by an <br />investigator. <br />If an imminent danger situation is identified, the safety and health investigator will ask the employer to <br />voluntarily eliminate the hazard and to remove the endangered employees from exposure. If the <br />employer fails to do this, MNOSHA may "red tag" the equipment or job site for 72 hours.
