1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide the requirements of Houston’s
contractor safety process. The goal of the contractor safety process is to ensure
that contractors and PPG associates understand all applicable regulatory, PPG,
and facility EHS requirements. Information about the contractor safety process is
to be provided to contractors performing work at the Houston plant that
minimizes the potential for accidents/injuries, fires, facility or equipment damage
or inappropriate material released into the environment during the performance
of contractor work. The goal of the contractor safety process is to ensure that
contractor employees understand and comply with PPG – Houston’s contractor
safety requirements.

2.0 Scope
This procedure applies to all contractors that will be working at the Houston plant,
excluding contractors (exempt contractors) that do not enter the plant, e.g.
grounds maintenance, delivery truck drivers. A list of exempt contractors is listed
in attachment D. Training is valid for one year from training date.

3.0 Responsibility
EHS Specialist:
 Assisting supervisors with information and materials to provide for contractor
safety training.

 Review Contractor Safety Prequalification and Contractor periodic evaluation
forms and provide feedback to the Project Leader or Facility Representative

Supervisors:
 Review the content of this manual with contractors under their supervision
and ensure that they have completed the contractor safety training.
