Section 14 – Subcontractor Safety Violation Reprimand/Fine Policy

This jobsite requires workers to work safe at all times. If any subcontractor refuses to follow safe work

practices and guidelines or OSHA standards, they shall be reprimanded and the following action should

be taken:

1. First Offense: the worker shall stop what they are doing and correct the issue immediately. The

superintendent should document this violation along with the corrective action taken on a safety

violation form. The superintendent should request from the subcontractor management that the

worker be re-trained in the area of concern.

2. Second Offense – the worker shall stop what they are doing and correct the issue immediately. If

the same worker is caught for the second time performing the same or substantially similar violation

they should be kicked off the jobsite for the day or fined based on the discretion of the

superintendent. The superintendent should document this violation along with the corrective action

taken on a safety violation form. The superintendent should request from the subcontractor

management that the worker be re-trained in the area of concern.

3. Third Offense – the worker shall stop what they are doing and correct the issue immediately. If the

same worker is caught for the third time performing the same or substantially similar violation they

should be kicked off the jobsite for at least 3 working days or fined based on the discretion of the

superintendent. The superintendent should document this violation along with the corrective action

taken on a safety violation form. The subcontractor’s management will need to issue a plan on

preventing the violation from occurring again to the superintendent prior to allowing the worker to

return to the jobsite.
