High Hazard Work Group (HHWG) Activities are activities that involve work at heights, crane and rigging, excavations and trenching, scaffolding, electrical work, underwater diving, and confined space entry.

1.3.3 High Visibility Accident

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

1.3.4 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).

Medical Treatment is treatment administered by a physician, or registered professional personnel under the standing orders of a physician. Medical treatment does not include first aid treatment even through provided by a physician or registered personnel.

1.3.6 Near Miss

A Near Miss is a mishap resulting in no personal injury and zero property damage, but given a shift in time or position, damage or injury may have occurred (e.g., a worker falls off a scaffold and is not injured; a crane swings around to move the load and narrowly misses a parked vehicle).

1.3.7 Operating Envelope

The Operating Envelope is the area surrounding any crane or load handling equipment. Inside this "envelope" is the crane, the operator, riggers and crane walkers, other personnel involved in the operation, rigging gear between the hook, the load, the crane's supporting structure (i.e. ground or rail), the load's rigging path, the lift and rigging procedure.

1.3.8 Qualified Person (QP)

A QP is a person meeting the requirements of EM 385-1-1 , and ASSP Z359.0 , with a recognized degree or professional certificate and with extensive knowledge, training and experience in the fall protection and rescue field who is capable of designing, analyzing, and evaluating and specifying fall protection and rescue systems

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 ENG FORM 3394 MISHAP NOTIFICATION AND INVESTIGATION. The form can be viewed, or downloaded at the following link:

1.8 ACTIVITY HAZARD ANALYSIS (AHA)

AHA requirements are in EM 385-1-1 Chapter 2-6.

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. AHA's 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. AHA's must be signed by the SSHO, Superintendent, QC Manager and the subcontractor Foreman performing the work. Submit the AHA for review at least fifteen (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.

Develop the activity hazard analyses using the Project Schedule as the basis for the activities performed. Any activities listed on the Project Schedule requires an AHA to be completed. Use ENG Form 6206, Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) to complete an AHA. The form can be viewed, or downloaded at the following link:

https://www.publications.usace.army.mil/Portals/76/Eng_Form_6206_2023Aug24.pdf

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 must be pre-approved by the Responsible Official.

c. Submit the names of Authorized Individuals to the Contracting
