1.2.7 High Visibility Accident

A High Visibility Accident is any mishap which may generate publicity or high visibility.

1.2.8 Load Handling Equipment (LHE)

LHE is a term used to describe cranes, hoists and all other hoisting equipment (hoisting equipment means equipment, including crane, derricks, hoists and power operated equipment used with rigging to raise, lower or horizontally move a load).

SECTION 01 35 29.10 28 Page 7

SECTION 01 35 29.10 28 Page 8 licensed health care professional, even if it did not result in (a) through (f) above.

1.2.15 USACE Property and Equipment

Interpret "USACE" property and equipment specified in USACE EM 385-1-1 as Government property and equipment.

1.2.16 Load Handling Equipment (LHE) Accident or Load Handling Equipment Mishap

A LHE accident occurs when any one or more of the eight elements in the operating envelope fails to perform correctly during operation, including operation during maintenance or testing resulting in personnel injury or death; material or equipment damage; dropped load; derailment;

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 any mishap that meets the criteria described in the Crane/Rigging Mishap Investigation Form, see attached.

1.8 ACTIVITY HAZARD ANALYSIS (AHA)

Before beginning each activity, task or Definable Feature of Work (DFOW) involving a type of work presenting hazards not experienced in previous project operations, or where a new work crew or subcontractor is to perform the work, the Contractor(s) performing that work activity must prepare an AHA. AHAs must be developed by the Prime Contractor, subcontractor, or supplier performing the work, and provided for Prime Contractor review and approval before submitting to the Contracting Officer. AHAs must be signed by the SSHO, Superintendent, QC Manager and the subcontractor Foreman performing the work. Submit the AHA for review at least 15 working days prior to the start of each activity task. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to revise and resubmit the AHA if it fails to effectively identify the work sequences, specific anticipated hazards, site conditions, equipment, materials, personnel and the control measures to be implemented.

The activity hazard analyses shall be developed 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 Contracting Officer. The Activity Hazard Analysis Template is attached to the end of this SECTION. Electronic copy of the AHA may be downloaded from the following site.

http://www.usace.army.mil/Portals/2/docs/AHA2.pdf

AHAs must identify competent persons required for phases involving high risk activities, including confined entry, crane and rigging, excavations, trenching, electrical work, fall protection, and scaffolding.

1.8.2 AHA Signature Log

Each employee performing work as part of an activity, task or DFOW must review the AHA for that work and sign a signature log specifically maintained for that AHA prior to starting work on that activity. The SSHO must maintain a signature log on site for every AHA. Provide employees whose primary language is other than English, with an interpreter to ensure a clear understanding of the AHA and its contents.

1.9 LOCKOUT/TAGOUT (LOTO)-SAFE CLEARANCE OR HAZARDOUS ENERGY CONTROL

PROGRAM (HECP) PROCEDURES

All Contractor work on site shall meet the requirements of "Safety and Occupational Health Office; Safe Clearance Program for the Control of Hazardous Energy, NWWP 385-1-20". A digital copy may be obtained at the web address shown below in paragraph, Safe Clearance Training. Safe Clearance procedures are used by Project and Contractor personnel to protect personnel, equipment and the environment as well as ensuring continuity of service. Any work performed by the Contractor that requires taking project operated equipment out of service shall be done only after a formal clearance is obtained through the Government. Violations will be reported to the Issuing Individual and violations may result in disciplinary action ranging from retraining to removal of safe clearance authorization.

For jobs with multiple tasks that require AHA's, prepare and submit an Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) on the first feature of work that requires a clearance request. A comprehensive AHA is required for smaller jobs. AHA requirements will be verified at the Pre-Construction Meeting.

The following applies to LOTO and HECP procedures:

a. The Government will provide Safe Clearance Tags and will issue Isolation Locks to Contractor for clearances using the Government Safe Clearance Procedures. Provide personal safety locks, meeting OSHA standards, for use with the Government's safe clearance procedures.

See NWWP 385-1-20, Chapter 6 - Locks and Tags, and Chapter 10 - Contractor Personnel for further guidance.

b. Government HECP procedures shall be used on equipment/systems owned by the Government. It shall also be used on all points interfacing with Government owned equipment/systems. In instances where equipment is owned by the Contractor, not yet turned over to the Government, or equipment which is not tied into Government energy sources, the Contractor may use their own Lockout/Tagout Program.

Contractor Programs shall be pre-approved by the Responsible Official.

c. Submit the names of Authorized Individuals to the Contracting

Officer prior to the Pre-Construction Meeting. Project-specific training will be given by the Operations Chief or designee and will be approximately 30 minutes in length. Project-specific training will be provided for every contract and only to the Contractor's Authorized Individuals. The Authorized Individuals shall be required to brief their work crews and subcontractors of any project-specific clearance information. Training is only required once per year and is, with the exception of project-specific training, valid for every facility within the Walla Walla District. If the Responsible Official or Government designee determines that the Authorized Individual's knowledge of the HECP procedures are inadequate the Responsible Official may administer a retest. See NWWP 385-1-20 Chapter 5 - Training for further guidance.

1.9.1 Safe Clearance Training

Contractor, subcontractor, vendors and visitors shall take the appropriate level of HECP Procedure training commensurate with their job duties. Only HECP certificates generated from Walla Walla District or the project are acceptable.

SECTION 01 35 29.10 28 Page 18

Based on the scope of work and size of crew, have the appropriate number of Authorized Individuals trained to ensure that there are no delays. All Contractor personnel working in areas under a Safe Clearance shall be trained as Affected Persons. Any non-working personnel, vendors and visitors, that will be entering an area under Safe Clearance shall take Awareness Level training. Training and written tests for the modules below shall be completed on-line prior to commencing on-site work. Time estimates for training follow:
