Compliance Glossary Term

Greenhouse Gas Inventory

A documented record of all GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions generated by your operations, including equipment, vehicles, and fuel use. Prime contractors increasingly require subcontractors to submit one for project bids. Accurate tracking helps avoid compliance penalties and supports contract eligibility.

Related Terms

Mine Rescue Station

Compliance

A designated facility equipped with emergency response tools, breathing apparatus, and trained personnel for underground mine incidents. Subcontractors working on mining sites must know the nearest station location before starting work. Some contracts require your crew to complete mine rescue familiarisation training as a site entry condition.

CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information)

Compliance

Sensitive government or client data that requires protection but is not classified as secret. Subcontractors handling site plans, personnel records, or project specs may be legally required to safeguard CUI. Mishandling it can result in contract termination or regulatory penalties.

Hazard Orientation

Compliance

A mandatory site-specific safety briefing required before subcontractor crews begin work on a new location. It covers site-specific risks, emergency procedures, and restricted zones. Primes or operators typically deliver it, and subcontractors must document attendance for compliance.

FCI (Federal Contract Information)

Compliance

Information provided by or generated for a federal government contract, but not intended for public release. Subcontractors handling FCI must meet specific cybersecurity and data protection requirements. Non-compliance can result in contract termination or disqualification from future federal work.

Corrective Action Plan

Compliance

A formal document a subcontractor submits after a safety incident, audit failure, or contract non-compliance. It outlines specific steps, responsible parties, and deadlines to fix the identified problem. Clients or prime contractors often require approval before field work can resume.

Hot Work Permit

Compliance

A formal written authorisation required before performing any work that produces heat, sparks, or open flame on a job site. Subcontractors must obtain this permit before welding, cutting, or grinding near flammable materials. Site supervisors issue and sign off on these permits, and work must stop if conditions change.
