01.A.13 Inspections - Contractor and USACE Projects.
- The APP or the USACE Project SOH Plan must provide for frequent safety inspections/audits, conducted by a Competent Person (CP), of the work sites, material, and equipment to ensure compliance with the plan and this manual. These inspections/audits must be documented in writing and available upon request to the GDA. They must include the name of the inspector, date, and all findings.
Frequent change requires frequent inspection.
- In addition, Contractor Quality Control (QC) and USACE Quality Assurance (QA) personnel as part of their QC and QA responsibilities, must conduct and document daily SOH inspections in their daily logs.
- Inspection reports must document any identified SOH issues and deficiencies, and the actions, timetable, and responsibility for correcting the deficiencies. Follow-up inspections to ensure correction of any identified deficiencies must also be conducted and documented in inspection reports.
- The Contractor or USACE Project must establish a SOH deficiency tracking system that lists and monitors the status of SOH deficiencies in chronological order. The tracking system provides useful information that must be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the APP. A monthly evaluation of the data should be discussed in the QC or SOH meeting with everyone on the project. The list must be posted on the project bulletin board, be updated daily, and should provide the following information:
- (1)Date deficiency identified;
- (2)Description of deficiency;
- (3)Name of person responsible for correcting deficiency;
- (4)Projected resolution date;
- (5)Date actually resolved.
- The Contractor must immediately notify the GDA of any OSHA or other regulatory agency inspection and provide GDA an opportunity to accompany the Contractor on the inspection. The inspection will not be delayed due to non-availability of the GDA. The Contractor must provide the GDA with a copy of any citations or reports issued by the inspector and any corrective action responses to the citation(s) or report(s).
- The GDA must notify the local SOHO of any regulatory visits.
- The USACE Project personnel must immediately notify the local SOHO of any OSHA or other regulatory agency inspection. The Project must provide the local SOHO with a copy of any citations or reports issued by the inspector and any corrective action responses to the citation(s) or report(s). Local SOHO must immediately provide this documentation to HQUSACE-SO.
