Learn how to effectively prepare and submit an APP.

An Accident Prevention Plan (APP) must be very detailed and address the management processes that will be used to prevent hazards from all phases of the contract. Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) forms require contractors to take a proactive approach by anticipating and controlling hazards prior to an accident occurring. They define the activity being performed, and identify the work sequence, specific hazards anticipated, and the control measures to be implemented to eliminate or reduce each hazard to an acceptable level.

Topics include:

• Jobsite Inspections and Employee Training requirements and documentation.
• Site Safety Health Officer’s qualifications and responsibilities
• Incident response and reporting procedures

Attendees receive a Certificate of Completion of a 40-hour EM 385-1-1 issued by the Chesapeake Region Safety Council as well as an OSHA 30 Hour for Construction card.
