Built for EM 385-1-1 work

Structured AHAs.
Not template soup.

The problem

Every AHA starts from zero.
That's the problem.

On federal projects, you need Activity Hazard Analyses for every definable scope of work. Most teams start with a blank document, try to remember what EM 385 says, and end up with something that's either too thin to pass review or so bloated it's useless in the field.

Blank-page paralysis

Starting from nothing means every AHA takes hours. And the output quality depends entirely on whoever happens to be writing it that day.

Inconsistency across scopes

When five people write AHAs for the same project, you get five different formats, five different depth levels, and a review nightmare.

Treating everything the same

A routine scaffolding AHA doesn't need the same process as a cofferdam dewatering plan. But most teams don't have a way to route them differently.

Review cycles eat the schedule

Internal review, COR comments, revision rounds. Each cycle costs days. If the AHA was structured correctly from the start, most of this goes away.

The approach

A structured system, not a template drawer

EM385Templates is a guided AHA generation system built from vetted scope families, job steps, hazard sets, control libraries, and routing rules. You define the scope. The system structures the output. If it doesn't map cleanly, it gets routed - not forced.

Scope families, not random files

AHAs are generated from organized scope families - excavation, scaffolding, crane ops, hot work - each with vetted job step sequences and corresponding hazard sets.

Smart routing, not force-fitting

Standard scopes go through the fast lane. Unusual or high-hazard work gets flagged and routed to the specialized review lane. The system knows the difference.

Review-ready, not draft-quality

Output is structured for internal review from the start - consistent format, EM 385-referenced controls, proper RAC coding. Less revision, faster approval.

Three lanes

Different work needs different processes

Not every AHA is the same. The three-lane model matches the process to the complexity - so you're not over-engineering simple scopes or under-preparing for hazardous ones.

Lane 1

Quick-Ship Standard

For common, classifiable scopes that map cleanly to vetted scope families. Excavation, scaffolding, fall protection, general electrical - the work that shows up on every federal project.

  • Guided scope definition
  • Pre-structured job steps & hazards
  • EM 385-referenced controls
  • Structured ENG 6206 output

$59

per standard AHA

Most used
Lane 2

Crew Plan

For teams running multiple standard AHA scopes per month. Same Quick-Ship output, predictable cost, no per-AHA purchasing friction.

  • 10 standard AHAs per month
  • Same guided output as Quick-Ship
  • Consistent format across all AHAs
  • Cancel anytime, no contract

$99/mo

10 standard AHAs - that's $9.90 each

Lane 3

Specialized / High-Hazard

For unusual, high-risk, or non-standard work that doesn't map cleanly to standard scope families. Demolition near energized lines, cofferdam work - the stuff that needs actual review.

  • Human review of scope & hazards
  • Deeper control development
  • Non-standard scope handling
  • Scoped pricing based on complexity

$49 - $99+

How it works

Define the scope. Get the structure.

This isn't free-text AI where you type a paragraph and hope for the best. It's a guided process - you answer targeted questions, the system builds from vetted components.

01

Define your scope

Select the activity type and describe the specific scope. The system checks if it maps to a standard family.

02

System routes it

Standard → Quick-Ship. Unclear or high-hazard → Specialized review. No force-fitting.

03

Fill project details

Answer targeted questions - location, personnel, conditions, equipment. Structured inputs only.

04

Get structured output

Structured AHA document - job steps, hazards, EM 385 controls, RAC codes. Ready for review.

What this is not

This is not free-text AI where you paste a description and get a hallucinated AHA. It's a structured system built from vetted scope families, job steps, hazard sets, and control libraries. If a scope doesn't map cleanly, it gets routed to the specialized lane - not force-fitted into a template.

Why routing matters

Standard and specialized are different problems

Most tools treat every AHA the same. That's how you end up with either overkill on simple scopes or blind spots on dangerous ones.

Standard Scope

Common activities with well-understood hazard profiles.

Scaffolding erection / dismantling
Trench excavation & shoring
Fall protection > 6 feet
Hot work / welding
General electrical < 600V

→ Routes to Quick-Ship lane. Structured output, fast turnaround.

Specialized / High-Hazard

Unusual conditions or non-standard work that needs deeper analysis.

Demolition adjacent to energized systems
Cofferdam installation & dewatering
Confined space with IDLH potential
Multiple-crane lift planning
Work in contaminated environments

→ Routed to Specialized lane. Scoped individually, reviewed before output.

Sample output

Structured the way your COR expects to see it

Output is formatted to ENG FORM 6206 structure - proper sections, RAC coding, EM 385 references on controls.
