FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 252: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 252.2

DFARS 252.217-7015 Safety and health.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This clause states that neither the Master Agreement nor any job order excuses the Contractor from its existing obligations to follow workplace safety and health requirements. It matters because the contractor remains fully responsible for complying with those laws and regulations regardless of the contract terms.

Applies to: Contractors performing work under a Master Agreement or job order

What it requires

  • Comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970
  • Comply with the Safety and Health Regulations for Ship Repairing
  • Comply with any other applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations
