It is the Contractor’s responsibility to prepare the AHA. Sample AHA’s may be available at the project office for review and use by the Contractor to assist in the development of site specific Activity Hazard Analyses prior to the Contractor performing the job. The Contractor is encouraged to revise or add to these sample AHA’s as necessary to address changing conditions. Prior to performing jobs with inherent hazards, the Contractor will review, at a “Tool Box” safety meeting, the approved AHA’s with those employees who will perform that work each time the work is ordered. The Government may request advanced notification of the time and date of the above AHA “Tool Box” safety meeting for Contractor employees so that the Government may attend such reviews.

The Government will require the Contractor to prepare an AHA for any jobs for which an adequate AHA does not already exist. A copy of this AHA will be submitted to the POC and must be accepted before the Contractor starts the job. This copy of the AHA will become the property of the Government. Guidance is included, which will be used by the Contractor as a guide for the preparation of required AHA's.

A copy of the approved AHA’s will be available at all times to workers at each associated job site and a copy will be provided to the Government.

e. Public Safety. The Contractor will ensure that reasonable precautions are taken to protect the public at all times where work is being performed. The Contractor will immediately report to the POC any potential hazards found by his employees on the project.

Notification to the Contractor will be promptly made in writing if time and circumstances permit.

Otherwise, notification will be verbal and confirmed in writing as soon as possible. No removal will reduce the Contractor's obligation to perform all work required under this contract nor be the basis for time extension. Immediate replacement of the employee will be made.
