The Power of an Accident Prevention Plan

Posted by

An Accident Prevention Plan (APP) is essential to all construction projects, outlining how all aspects of your company’s safety program will be successfully administered on the project while adhering to regulatory requirements and the contract requirements. 

Construction operations will not be allowed to commence on the project until the Accident Prevention Plan is complete and approved by the project’s Contracting Officer.  Having administrative submittals, including an Accident Prevention Plan, returned by the customer marked  “Revise and Resubmit” leads to unnecessary delays and lost revenue, and sometimes creates doubt in a customer that the contractor is able to fulfill the project requirements. 

Here’s how Gadzoom can help managers improve the way they create and manage their Accident Prevention Plans and other administrative submittals.

Framework for Safety

A construction Accident Prevention Plan most importantly provides the framework for how safety will be managed on every construction project.  From identification and appointment of the project’s Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO), providing proof of training and qualifications, and outlining how each aspect of safety for the project will be managed, the APP gives all stakeholders the knowledge and confidence that the team in charge has the experience, knowledge, and tools to effectively oversee the safety requirements of the project. 

With all of the requirements of an APP, including those listed above and more, it is essential that the initial submittal of the APP be thoroughly reviewed and accepted the first time.  Our cutting-edge, proprietary software allows contractors to easily meet USACE EM 385-1-1 requirements, outlining the structure and content for Accident Prevention Plans. This gives contractors the peace of mind that their documents will get accepted the first time, every time.

Features You’ve Always Dreamed Of

Accident Prevention Plans have become increasingly complex, requiring more information and more coordination than ever before, and reviewers are enforcing stringent compliance with all requirements of the USACE EM 385-1-1 outline. Using Gadzoom to generate your Accident Prevention Plan gives you an unprecedented level of mobility. Imagine being able to store information and certifications for personnel, subcontractors, or suppliers, add electronic signatures, and insert all Activity Hazard Analysis documents in the APP electronically. Gadzoom lets you generate all appointment letters and appropriate resumes automatically by clicking on an SSHO’s name. Through its unprecedented features, users can generate supplementary materials even down to organization charts and entry of definable features of work. The program even works behind the scenes to select and provide maps and directions to the nearest hospital trauma centers. 

Companies of all sizes benefit daily by drastically reducing their workload and overhead costs, and raising the quality of their administrative plans. Gadzoom’s comprehensive construction document suite gives users exactly the tools they need, making administrative document creation easier than ever.

With all of its features and adherence to all contract requirements, Gadzoom allows users to create and manage Accident Prevention Plans and other documents simultaneously from one platform and in record time.
