The criteria and requirements of the Corp of Engineers Safety Program are more stringent and comprehensive than OSHA requirements. The guidelines, procedures and in particular, the Activity Hazard Analysis, provide a broad, all-encompassing approach that is focused on preventative measures geared toward deterring safety incidents and avoiding accidents.
