Safety Orientation Training for Contractors

Contractor Safety Training:  All Contractor personnel working on JEA projects or sites shall be fully instructed in the safety practices required by their assignments.  It is each Contractor’s responsibility to ensure their employees are fully trained prior to beginning work and to provide verification of training upon request.  In addition to task specific safety, Contractor employees working on JEA projects or sites shall receive JEA Safety Orientation and JEA Site-Specific Training before beginning work.

• JEA Safety Orientation (JEASO):  JEASO is required for all Contractor employees working on JEA projects and sites subject to the CSMP and shall include familiarization with JEA safety requirements and this manual.  The JEASO presentation is available on JEA.com and shall be presented to each Contractor subject to this manual.  It is the Contractor’s responsibility to maintain a roster of each employee that has completed the JEASO and provide that roster to any JEA employee or designee upon request.
• JEA Site-Specific Training (SST):  JEA sites contain diverse and complex processes and potential hazards.  In addition to JEASO, Contractor employees shall receive JEA Site-Specific Training (SST).   The SST presentations are available on JEA.com and shall be presented to each Contractor subject to this manual.  It is the Contractor’s responsibility to maintain a roster for each SST the Contractors employees are subject to and provide verification of SST to any JEA employee or designee upon request.  SST is required for each Contractor employee who performs work at or for:
  1. Water Treatment Facilities
  2. Power Generation Facilities
  3. Wastewater Reuse Facilities
  4. Substations
  5. District Energy Plan
  6. Contractors working at project sites not listed above shall be made aware of the unique hazards and conditions for the location they are working from their Contractor Sponsor.
• Task Specific Training:  It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that, prior to beginning the work, their employees, and the employees of any of their subcontractors are properly trained in accordance with the Safety Regulations for the tasks and processes to be performed and the use of the required equipment, machinery, and tools.  Verification of training shall be provided to JEA by the Contractor upon request.
• Contractor visitors shall receive the same JEASO and SST prior to entering the work areas or shall be escorted on the site at all times by someone who has received the JEASO and SST.  For projects that do not take place at a JEA facility, Contractor employees and visitors shall receive the JEASO and instructions on the site's potential hazards as well as any OSHA and/or other regulatory standards that pertain to the work being performed.
