<br />by the Architect and/or Engineer and confirmed b the Contractor
<br />before proceeding with any work,
<br />CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
<br />1. These drawings do not include provisions to satisfy safety
<br />requirements. Contractor is solely responsible for ensuring safety during
<br />construction, and for conformance to all applicable OSHA Standards.
<br />Job site visits by Engineer shall not constitute approval, awareness or
<br />liability for any hazarclous conditions.
