🧷 Activity Hazard Analysis Guidance from USACE: What Contractors Must Know

An AHA is “a documented risk‑management process by which the steps (procedures) required to accomplish a work activity/task are outlined, the actual or potential hazards of each step are identified, and measures for the elimination or control of those hazards are developed.”

• Apply an Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) for each “Definable Feature of Work (DFOW)” where hazards may be new or not previously encountered.
• Ensure the AHA is developed and approved by competent and qualified personnel.
• Involve field crews and on-site personnel in the development — AHAs are intended to be created and used in the field, not just at the office.
• Include detailed job steps, hazards for each step, controls, equipment, inspection and training requirements, and assign a Risk Assessment Code (RAC).
