What this lesson covers
This lesson covers the contract vocabulary a safety professional meets: solicitations, offers, modifications, change orders, fixed-price and cost-reimbursement types, insurance and safety clauses. It walks the lifecycle from planning to closeout, using the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as a public model, because safety requirements that aren't written into a contract are hard to enforce.
