Dennis.D.Wagner@usace.army.mil Background

Lake Kaweah, located in Tulare County, California requires the installation of 511 LF of Wave Eater Model 3636 or equivalent type booms on the spillway side of Terminus Dam.

Tasks

Task One: Accident Prevention Plan / Activity Hazard Analysis / Site Safety and Health Plan

Accident Prevention Plan (APP). The Contractor shall use a qualified Safety and Health Manager (SHM) to prepare the written site-specific Accident Prevention Plan (APP) in accordance with the format and requirements of USACE EM 385-1-1. Cover all paragraph and subparagraph elements in Appendix A of USACE EM 385-1-1 "Minimum Basic Outline for Preparation of Accident Prevention Plan". Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) shall be appended to the APP. Some contracts, based upon the work to be performed (e.g., environmental investigations) for Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Site Operations require a Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) appendix. The Contractor shall develop an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) for projects within the State of California as an appendix to the APP. Where a paragraph or subparagraph element is not applicable to the work to be performed indicate "Not Applicable" next to the heading. The APP shall be job-specific and shall 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 (SHP). Any portions of the Contractor's overall safety and health program referenced in the APP shall be included 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. 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. The Contractor, SHM, on-site Project Supervisor, and Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) shall sign the APP.

Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) Appendix to the APP. As applicable, the Contractor shall develop an Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) for every operation involving site activities presenting hazards not experienced in previous project operations or where a new work crew or subcontractor will perform work. The AHA(s) format shall be in accordance with Figure 1-2 of EM 385-1-1. Subsequent AHAs shall be submitted as amendments to the APP. The analysis must identify and evaluate hazards and outline the proposed methods and techniques for the safe completion of each phase of work. At a minimum, the AHA shall define activity being performed, sequence of work, specific safety and health hazards anticipated, control measures (to include personal protective equipment) to eliminate or reduce each hazard to acceptable levels, equipment to be used, inspection requirements, training requirements for all involved, and the competent person in charge of that phase of work.

Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) Appendix to the APP. The Contractor shall develop and implement a Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) that shall be attached to the APP as an appendix. The SSHP shall address all occupational safety and health hazards (traditional construction as well as contaminant related hazards) associated with HTRW activities. The SSHP shall cover each SSHP element in Appendix C of ER 385-1-92. There are overlapping elements in Appendix C of ER 385-1-92 and Appendix A of EM 385-1-1. SSHP appendix elements that overlap with APP elements need not be duplicated in the SSHP, provided each safety and occupational health issue is adequately documented in the APP. The SSHP shall be developed under the direct supervision of a qualified SHM. A qualified Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) shall implement and enforce the APP and the SSHP. The SSHP shall be designed to identify, evaluate, and control safety, health, biological, and radiological hazards, and provide for emergency response. The SSHP shall comply with all Federal, state, regional and local health and safety requirements. Matters of interpretation of standards shall be submitted to the appropriate administrative agency for resolution. Daily safety and health inspections shall be conducted to determine if site operations are conducted in accordance with the approved APP, SSHP, OSHA (Federal and State), USACE, and contract requirements.

References. The Contractor’s APP/IPP, SSHP Appendix and subsequent activities must comply with the following referenced documents (most current version, if different than the date referenced), at a minimum:
