Create Activity Hazard Analysis online with AHA Generator

Built for Real-World USACE & Federal Project Compliance

AHA Generator helps contractors, SSHOs, and federal project teams create structured Activity Hazard Analyses aligned with EM 385-1-1 requirements and OSHA safety principles.

Designed for practical jobsite use — not generic templates. Clear structure. Consistent hazard identification. Submission-ready documentation.

EM 385-1-1 Requires Structured Hazard Planning

On USACE and federally funded construction projects, contractors must submit Activity Hazard Analyses that clearly define:

  • Defined job steps and work sequences
  • Specific anticipated hazards
  • Control measures and implementation methods
  • Risk Assessment Code (RAC) scoring
  • Equipment, training, and inspection requirements
  • Supervisor and responsible party sign-off

Many teams rely on outdated Word or Excel templates that create inconsistencies, formatting errors, and revision cycles during submittal review.

AHA Generator provides a structured framework that standardises your documentation process — helping reduce rejected submittals, minimise delays, and maintain defensible safety records.

WHAT HAPPENS IF AHAs ARE NOT STRUCTURED CORRECTLY?

On USACE and federally funded projects, Activity Hazard Analyses must clearly identify job steps, anticipated hazards, control measures, and Risk Assessment Codes (RAC). Incomplete or inconsistent AHAs may result in rejected submittals, project disruption, and increased compliance scrutiny.

Rejected Submittals

AHAs that do not clearly align with EM 385-1-1 structure may be returned for revision, delaying project mobilisation and work commencement.

Project Delays

Delays in documentation approval can stall site activities, impacting subcontractors, scheduling, and overall productivity.

Compliance Exposure

Poorly structured hazard identification and control measures may increase regulatory risk during audits, inspections, or incident investigations.

Inconsistent Hazard Controls

Without a structured system, hazard controls may vary across crews and subcontractors, reducing consistency in safety execution.

Last-Minute Documentation Stress

Manual templates often lead to rushed revisions the night before kickoff, increasing the likelihood of errors and omissions.

Increased Liability Exposure

In the event of an incident, incomplete documentation may weaken the defensibility of your safety management processes.
