EM 385-1-1 Compliance.
Automated, Not Manual.
The Challenge
EM 385-1-1 violations result in work stoppages and liquidated damages
A single EM 385-1-1 violation can shut down the entire project. USACE safety officers conduct unannounced inspections, and any gap in documentation triggers an immediate stop-work order with liquidated damages.
Activity Hazard Analyses require constant updates
Every new work activity requires an AHA before work begins. As conditions change, AHAs must be updated and re-signed. Managing hundreds of AHAs across a DoD project with paper forms is unsustainable.
Safety training records not available for verification in the field
USACE asks to see training documentation for a specific worker during a site visit. The records are in a filing cabinet at the project trailer, 15 minutes away. The inspector writes a finding.
Competent person designations not tracked in real time
EM 385-1-1 requires designated competent persons for specific hazards. When personnel change, tracking who is designated for what hazard becomes a spreadsheet exercise that is always out of date.
