01.A.10 USACE Project SOH Plan.
For USACE activities where USACE employees are engaged in functions other than routine office or administrative duties, a Project SOH Plan must be developed, implemented, and updated as necessary.
- Such activities include operations and maintenance; recreational resource management; in-house conducted environmental restoration (investigation, design, and remediation); surveying, inspection, and testing; construction management; warehousing; transportation; research and development; and other activities when the Government Designated Authority (GDA) and the command's local SOHO agree on the benefit of such a program for accident prevention.
- The Project SOH Plan must address applicable items listed in Appendix A, and in addition, any local SOPs or requirements identified in the USACE Command's SOH Program. > See Section 01.A.02, Notes 1 and 2.
- For Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) sites, refer to Section 33 for Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) guidance.

01.A.11 Position Hazard Analyses (PHA) for USACE Employees.
A PHA must be prepared, updated as necessary, documented by the supervisor, and reviewed by the command's SOHO for each USACE position according to the hazards associated with the position's tasks. A generic PHA may be used for groups of employees performing repetitive office/administrative tasks where the primary hazards result from ergonomic challenges, lighting conditions, light lifting and carrying tasks, and indoor air quality. > See Figure 1-1 for an outline of a PHA. An electronic, fillable version of a PHA may be found on the HQUSACE Safety Office Website.
- The USACE Supervisor, in coordination with the SOHO, must determine the need for analysis of each position within his or her area of responsibility.
- In developing the analysis for a particular position, supervisors must draw upon the knowledge and experience of employees in that position in addition to that of the SOHO.
- A complete PHA document must indicate that the hazards, medical surveillance requirements, control mechanisms, personal protective equipment (PPE) and training required for the position were discussed with the employee. The PHA must be signed by the supervisor and employee. A PHA must contain a copy of the employee's training certificate of completion for all required training.
- Supervisors must review the PHAs with employees upon initial assignment to a position, whenever there is a significant change in hazards and during their annual performance review or at least annually.
