Supplier EHS Management Program

Please answer the following questions to determine whether your company is required to participate in the Verizon EHS assessment process administered by Avetta.

1. Will the work performed by Supplier or subcontractors involve handling, collecting, recycling, storing, reusing, disposing, remediating, abating or responding to spills or handling chemicals or waste (municipal, universal, electronic, asbestos, lead or hazardous)?

2. Will the work performed by Supplier or subcontractors require access to Verizon-controlled premises, Verizon project site, Verizon customer site, facilities where Verizon equipment is located, or facilities where Verizon retains environmental liability? Note: If the contractor is hiring a subcontractor to perform the actual work then the responses MUST be based on the scope of work as BOTH the contractor and subcontractor may need to be registered in Avetta.
1. Will the work involve tools or equipment (power, pneumatic or hydraulic), specialized vehicles, personal protective equipment (PPE), or any work involving electrical equipment?
2. Will the work require any safety, health or environmental permit, license, registration or approval to conduct work while onsite eg. confined space entry permit, hot work permit, hazardous waste permit?
