2. Procedures for identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards in the workplace, including those associated with contractor activities.

3. A system for training employees and contractors in safety and health procedures, including those specific to their jobs.

4. A system for ensuring that contractors comply with all applicable safety and health regulations and standards.

5. A system for monitoring contractor safety performance and taking corrective action as necessary.
