two-blocking; overload; or collision, including unplanned contact between the load, crane, or other objects. A dropped load, derailment, two-blocking, overload and collision are considered accidents, even though no material damage or injury occurs. A component failure (e.g., motor burnout, gear tooth failure, bearing failure) is not considered an accident solely due to material or equipment damage unless the component failure results in damage to other components (e.g., dropped boom, dropped load, or roll over). Document an LHE mishap using the Crane High Hazard working group mishap reporting form.

SECTION 01 35 26.00 08 Page 12

1.7 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN (APP)

An Accident Prevention Plan (APP) is a safety and health policy and program document that is contract- and/or job-specific. The APP shall be developed by the Contractor and shall interface with the Contractor's overall safety and health program, such that any portions of the Contractor's overall program referenced in the APP shall be included as appropriate. The APP shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer or designated representative for review and acceptance prior to any commencement of work. The Contractor shall develop the APP in accordance with EM 385-1-1 , Appendix A. The Contractor shall address each of the elements/sub-elements in the outline contained in Appendix A in the order that they are provided in the manual, and as supplemented herein. If an item is not applicable because of the nature of the work to be performed, the Contractor shall state this exception and provide a justification.

The APP shall be written in English by the Prime Contractor and shall articulate the specific work, work processes, equipment to be used, and hazards pertaining to the contract. The APP shall also implement in detail the pertinent requirements of the EM 385-1-1 . The APP shall contain appropriate hazard-specific plans as needed for the work being performed as specified in EM 385-1-1 and herein. The APP shall be developed and signed by a Qualified Person (QP) and then signed stating approval by the Contractor's company/corporate officers that are authorized to obligate the company. The non-mandatory APP Checklist, Form A-2, may be used to ensure each area of required information has been provided as part of the APP to the Contracting Officer or designated representative .

The Contractor's APP shall be job-specific and must include work to be performed by subcontractors. It is understood that the APP is submitted prior to work starting and some of the project-specific information is not yet known. If sub-contractors and/or suppliers are not know at the time of initial APP submission, the Contractor shall include the following statement in their APP: "The subcontractors for the following defined features of work (DFOW)/activities are not known at this time, but additional information will be submitted to the APP for acceptance prior to the start of any activities listed." All known information shall be provided and additional information submitted to the Contracting Officer or designated representative for approval as it becomes known. Once accepted by the Contracting Officer or designated representative , a copy of the accepted APP shall be available on the worksite at all times, and each sub-contractor provided a copy to comply with.

The Contractor shall provide on-going evaluations of the APP throughout the life of the project. Changes, revisions, and updates to the APP shall be reviewed and accepted by the Contracting Officer or designated representative .

Submit the APP to the Contracting Officer or designated representative 15 calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed (NTP) for acceptance.

Work cannot proceed without an accepted APP. Once reviewed and accepted by the Contracting Officer or designated representative , the APP and attachments will be enforced as part of the contract. Disregarding the provisions of this contract or the accepted APP is cause for stopping of work, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer or designated representative , until the matter has been rectified. Continuously review and amend the APP, as necessary, throughout the life of the contract.

Changes to the accepted APP must be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the Contracting Officer or designated representative , SECTION 01 35 26.00 08 Page 13 project superintendent, SSHO and Quality Control Manager. Incorporate unusual or high-hazard activities not identified in the original APP as they are discovered. 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 Contracting Officer or designated representative within 24 hours of discovery. Eliminate and remove the hazard. In the interim, 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.

1.7.1 Names and Qualifications

Provide plans in accordance with the requirements outlined in Appendix A of EM 385-1-1 , including the following:

Names and qualifications (resumes including education, training, experience and certifications) of site safety and health personnel designated to perform work on this project to include the designated Site Safety and Health Officer and other competent and qualified personnel to be used. Specify the duties of each position.

b. Qualifications of competent and of qualified persons. As a minimum, designate and submit qualifications of competent persons for each of the following major areas: excavation; scaffolding; fall protection;

hazardous energy; confined space; health hazard recognition, evaluation and control of chemical, physical and biological agents;

Identify the qualified person's name and qualifications, training, and experience.

Delineate the qualified person's authority to direct work stoppage in the event of hazardous conditions. Include procedure for rescue by contractor personnel and the coordination with emergency responders. (If there is no confined space work, include a statement that no confined space work exists and none will be created.)

1.7.2.2 Standard Lift Plan (SLP)
