6.32. Meetings

A. Pre-Performance Conference

1. Contractor representatives who have a responsibility or significant role in accident prevention on the project shall attend the pre-performance conference. This includes the project superintendent, site safety and health officer, quality control supervisor, or any other assigned safety and health professionals who participated in the development of the APP (including the

Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) and special plans, program and procedures associated with it).

2. Discuss the details of the submitted APP to include incorporated plans, programs, procedures and a listing of anticipated AHAs that will be developed and implemented during the performance of the contract. This list of proposed AHAs will be reviewed at the conference and an agreement will be reached between the Contractor and the CO as to which phases will require an analysis. In addition, establish a schedule for the preparation, submittal, review, and acceptance of AHAs to preclude project delays.

3. Deficiencies in the submitted APP will be brought to the attention of the Contractor at the preperformance conference, and the Contractor shall revise the plan to correct deficiencies and re-submit it for acceptance. Do not begin work until there is an accepted APP.

6.33. Accident Prevention Plan (APP )

A. Use a qualified person to prepare the written site-specific APP.

B. Specific requirements for some of the APP elements are described below. The APP shall be job-specific and address any unusual or unique aspects of the project or activity for which it is written.

The APP shall interface with the Contractor's overall safety and health program.

C. Include any portions of the Contractor's overall safety and health program referenced in the APP in the applicable APP element and made site-specific. The Government considers the Prime Contractor to be the "controlling authority" for all work site safety and health of the subcontractors.

D. Contractors are responsible for informing their subcontractors of the safety provisions under the terms of the contract and the penalties for noncompliance, coordinating the work to prevent one craft from interfering with or creating hazardous working conditions for other crafts, and inspecting subcontractor operations to ensure that accident prevention responsibilities are being carried out.

E. The APP shall be signed by the person and firm (senior person) preparing the APP, the Contractor, the on-site superintendent, the designated site safety and health officer, the Contractor Quality control

Manager, and any designated CSP or CIH.

F. Submit the APP to the CO within 15 calendar days prior to the date of the preperformance conference for acceptance. Work cannot proceed without an accepted APP.

G. Once work begins, changes to the accepted APP shall be made with the concurrence and approval of the CO, project superintendent, SSHO and quality control manager. Should any severe hazard exposure, i.e. imminent danger, become evident, stop work in the area, secure the area, and develop a plan to remove the exposure and control the hazard. Notify the CO within 24 hours of discovery.

Until a decision is made by the CO, take all necessary action to restore and maintain safe working conditions in order to safeguard onsite personnel, visitors, the public (as defined by ASSE/SAFE

A10.34,) and the environment.

H. Copies of the accepted plan will be maintained at the Contracting Office and at the job site.

I. Continuously review and amend the APP, as necessary, throughout the life of the contract.

Incorporate unusual or high-hazard activities not identified in the original APP as they are discovered.

6.34. Crane Critical Lift Plan

A. Prepare and sign weight handling critical lift plans for lifts over 75 percent of the capacity of the crane or hoist (or lifts over 50 percent of the capacity of a barge mounted mobile crane's hoists) at any radius of lift; lifts involving more than one crane or hoist; lifts of personnel; and lifts involving non-routine rigging or operation, sensitive equipment, or unusual safety risks. Submit 15 calendar days prior to on-site work and include the requirements of USACE EM 385-1-1, paragraph 16.H. and the following: For lifts of personnel, demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 29 CFR

Format subsequent AHAs as amendments to the APP. The analysis should be used during daily inspections to ensure the implementation and effectiveness of the activity's safety and health controls.

B. The AHA list will be reviewed periodically (at least monthly) at the Contractor supervisory safety meeting and updated as necessary when procedures, scheduling, or hazards change.

C. Develop the activity hazard analyses using the project schedule as the basis for the activities performed. Any activities listed on the project schedule will require an AHA. The AHAs will be developed by the contractor, supplier or subcontractor and provided to the prime contractor for submittal to the CO.
