Strict safety and health protocols apply, requiring compliance with both German regulations and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers EM 385-1-1 manual, whichever is more stringent. Contractors must submit risk assessments, method statements, and a detailed work program before commencing work, and are responsible for maintaining site security, including ensuring all doors remain locked and properties secured daily.
