Questions

Site-specific safety plan with activity hazard analyses: what people ask

What does OSHA require of a contractor's safety program?

Employers must start and keep the programs needed to comply with OSHA's construction rules, with frequent and regular inspections of the job site, materials and equipment by competent persons they designate. Only workers qualified by training or experience may run equipment and machinery.

When do I have to follow EM 385-1-1?

On construction, demolition or removal contracts with a Department of Defense agency, the FAR accident prevention clause requires the latest USACE EM 385-1-1 in effect on the solicitation date. If the contract adds Alternate I, you submit a written plan analyzing the significant hazards before work starts.

Who can write a fall protection plan?

A fall protection plan is an option only for leading edge, precast concrete or residential construction work where conventional fall protection is infeasible or more hazardous. A qualified person must prepare it for the specific site and approve changes, and a copy stays on the job.
