Introduction

This Advisory contains an overview of selected health and safety good practices and regulatory requirements that Contractors may conclude to be applicable to their work at Princeton University. It should be considered as an introduction and not a substitute for a thorough understanding of the subjects. Furthermore, it is for informational purposes only. This Advisory does not relieve the Contractor of its obligations to (1) control the manner and means by which it and its employees, subcontractors and agents perform work or services at Princeton University, and (2) independently ascertain what health and safety practices are appropriate and necessary for the performance of such work or services. Contractors are expected to be familiar with and follow appropriate health and safety practices, including those required by the federal Occupational Health and Safety Act (“OSH Act”), and those set forth in applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, as well as any applicable state or local code. (Additional information about OSHA's requirements can be found at their web site, www.osha.gov).
