In addition, AHA's are needed using the project schedule as the basis for the activities performed. Any activities listed on the project schedule will require an AHA. The AHA's will either be developed by the contractor, supplier or subcontractor and provided to the prime contractor for submittal to the Contracting Officer. 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, 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. The analysis should be used during daily inspections to ensure the implementation and effectiveness of the activity's safety and health controls. For work with fall hazards, including fall hazards associated with scaffold erection and removal, identify the appropriate fall arrest systems. For work with materials handling equipment, address safeguarding measures related to materials handling equipment. For work requiring excavations, include requirements for safeguarding excavations.
c. The analysis should be used during daily inspections to ensure the implementation and effectiveness of the activity's safety and health controls.
d. The AHA list will be reviewed periodically (at least monthly) at the Contractor supervisory safety meeting and updated as necessary when procedures, scheduling, or hazards change.
