Section 6: Contractors' Duties <br /> All contractors shall follow any and all Minnesota OSHA, Federal OSHA, MN DOT, MPCA and other <br /> regulatory agencies rules that pertain to their work sites in the State of Minnesota. All contractors shall be <br /> responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising safety and health related policies, programs and <br /> work practices in connection with the performance of contractual work. <br /> Duties to Subcontractors <br /> Contractors that use sub-contractors shall be responsible for communicating any and all safety and health <br /> related information to those subcontractors and shall ensure that subcontractors initiate, maintain and <br /> supervise safety and health related polices, programs and work practices while performing subcontracted <br /> work. <br /> Imminent Danger <br /> In the event of an imminent danger situation, the City of Pequot Lakes reserves that right to suspend <br /> contracted work if said work exposes the employees of either employer to imminent danger. <br /> Imminent Danger Definition per MN OSHA: <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. MN OSHA 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 employer <br /> fails to do this, MN OSHA may "red tag" the equipment or job site for 72 hours. <br /> i <br /> I <br /> �P <br /> 7 <br />
