Strict adherence to environmental regulations is mandated during surface preparation and epoxy application, ensuring compliance with federal and state guidelines.
The SOW specifies safety requirements for contractors under Federal OSHA regulations, as well as protocols for hazardous material management. DBIDS cards are required for contractor access to the shipyard, and detailed procedures for obtaining these are included. The government retains responsibilities for site sanitation and ensuring the integrity of inspections post-application. This document serves to guide contractors in maintaining stringent standards while performing specialized coating application on naval equipment, reflecting the government's priority on compliance, safety, and environmental protection in military operations.
