SAMPLE AREA HAZARD ANALYSES

AREA HAZARD ANALYSES FORM

= ;

Title: This is an AHA for Building 34 in g= eneral and Rooms 196, and 293 specifically.

Instructions:

An Area Hazard Analysis (AHA) is a process that is used to evaluate a work area to 1) determine the hazards that may be present 2) determine appropriate controls= for these hazards and 3) provide a mechanism to communicate these hazards to someone entering the area. The AHA covers the facility and equipment within= the facility. It does not cover specific jobs/tasks that may be performed in the area. Job/task specific hazards and controls are covered by the JHAM proces= s.

The AHA should be done by the area manager, in cooperation with the Building Manager. An AHA should be done once for all working areas and whenever there is a change in= to the facility or regulations or the introduction of new equipment or new haz= ard.

Complete instructions and supporting information is available at <web site under development>. Enter information into box= es which will expand to accommodate whatever length of text is entered. Once t= his AHA is complete, the area responsible person signs.

HIGH VOLTA= GE or CURRENT and STORED ELECTRICAL ENERGY	· Electric shock · Arc flash/explosion · Fire	· Provide written proc= edures for areas where high voltage or current will be exposed. · Work on most equipment is limited to engineers and techs who are high-V trained (course #274) or those under their immediate escort. · Follow Equipment Lockout Procedure (ELP) posted on equipment. · De-energize and verify before working on sy= stems >50V, or get and follow administrative and PPE provisions of electrical hot-work permit issued for that specific activity. (See http://www.sl= ac.stanford.edu/esh/forms/hotwork.pdf .) · Use safe work practices covered in high-V training: lock tag, hot work, controlled areas, etc.
Lifting	Back or other ergonomic injury from improper lifting.	· &nb= sp; Keep the load close to the body · &nb= sp; Use leg muscles instead of back muscles · &nb= sp; Do not attempt to lift large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped objects without assistance · &nb= sp; Take back safety class.

All buildings Telephone cable and = wire especially where exposed without insulation, such as in wire closets, backboards, or other connection or termination points, or at places where the insulation= is damaged.	Ring voltage on typical telephone cables and wires can be 90 volts AC or highe= r and can cause electrical shock. This electrical shock can be a startle hazard, for example causing someone to = jerk away and fall off a ladder. Ring voltage is the electrical power occurring on the phone cable or wire when= a phone line is ringing, which activates the ringer bell or buzzer in the phone.	Exercise personal caution and do not to= uch bare telephone cables or wires. Exercise caution when working in the vicinity of telephone cable a= nd wire and avoid direct contact with bare wires or wires whose insulation is damaged. Any necessary work= to be done on phone cables and wires should be performed by qualified personnel with appropriate training. Qualified personnel should exercise caution and be aware of the possibility of electrical shock, and take mitigating actions such as wear= ing insulated gloves or using insulated tools, or otherwise providing protect= ion from potential shock etc.
Building 50 Main PBX Room: PBX rectifiers and backup battery system, SBC Mux cabinet, electrical panels,= other electrical components in the room.	The rectifier, batteries, and other components powering the PBX system and the SBC Mux cabinet in the phone equipment room (Bui= lding 50) have high voltages on e= xposed terminals and wires and can cause electrical shock or other electrical da= mage	Exercise personal caution and do not to= uch bare power cables or wires. Do not open electrical cabinets or panels unless qualified to do so. Exercise caution when working in the vicinity and avoid direct contact with bare w= ires or wires whose insulation is damaged.&nb= sp; Any necessary work to be done on these systems should be performed= by qualified personnel with appropriate training. Qualified personnel should exerc= ise caution and be aware of the possibility of electrical shock, and take mitigating actions such as wearing insulated gloves or using insulated to= ols, powering off circuits, or otherwise providing protection from potential s= hock etc.
