SUBCONTRACT FORM
Continued from Page 15 who bears the responsibility for certain risks and how the payment for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fines will be allocated between the contractor and subcontractor. Under 9.14.9, the subcontractor indemnifies the contractor for fines or penalties imposed on the contractor as a result of safety violations caused by the subcontractor's failure to comply with applicable safety requirements. This indemnification applies only to the extent that such fines or penalties are determined to be the subcontractor's responsibility based upon the particular failure of compliance cited, not to prior or repeated safety violations by the contractor.
Subparagraph 9.14.8 is favorable to the contractor and states that the subcontractor must notify the contractor in writing of (1) any accident involving personal injury requiring a physician's care, (2) any property damage exceeding $500 in value, or (3) any failure that could have resulted in serious personal injury, whether or not such injury was sustained. This requirement will greatly enhance the contractor's ability to establish and maintain an effective loss control program on a project.

Cooling A Dispute
IF TWO PEOPLE are upset with each other and the disagreement is having an impact on getting the job done, you might want to try this approach:
Ask each employee to summarize the other's view. This cuts through the anger and reveals the heart of the misunderstanding. Source: the Personnel Alert, 70 Hilltop Rd., Ramsey, NJ 07446. From Communication Briefings.
