8. Nothing in this clause 202.65 prevents the Contractor taking urgent action to ensure the safety of Contractor’s Personnel, Principal’s Personnel, and/or road users, however in the event of non-compliance of any provision of this clause 202.65 for any reason, a Non-conformance Report pursuant to SPECIFICATION 201 – QUALITY MANAGEMENT must be produced.
