 Analyzing
hazards is a key function of integrating safety and environmental management
into our everyday work. We stay safe and protect the environment by identifying our tasks and their
potential hazards, and then establishing controls to
mitigate risks before starting work.
Please see Hazard Examples for an overview
of what types of hazards there are, and Hazard
Identification for pictures to aid you in looking for hazards around us.
Types of Hazard Analysis |
| Area Hazards
Analysis |
An Area Hazards Analysis (AHA) is a
formalized process by which personnel identify hazards
associated with the physical environment. AHAs are completed
once then reviewed annually or when conditions in the area
change. See the
AHA section of
Work
Planning and Control. |
| Activity & Training
Authorization (ATA) |
An Activity & Training Authorization
(ATA) provides a mechanism to define specific activities that a
worker is qualified and authorized to perform. Once an
employee's ATA is signed, the employee is authorized to perform
listed activities within the specified boundaries. See the
ATA section of
Work
Planning and Control. |
| ISEMS |
Hazard Analysis is a vital component of
the Integrated Safety and Environment Management System
(ISEMS) here at SLAC. The core functions of ISEMS are: Define
task, analyze hazards, control for hazards, perform work, and
evaluate performance. The Hazard Analysis programs cover
the second core function and work towards the third, making it a
vital part of our work. For more information, please see
the ISEMS pages. |
| Pre-Work Hazard Analysis |
Before doing work at SLAC, contractors are
required to consider their job and analyze potential hazards.
Filling
out forms for pre-work hazard analysis is part of this. There are
separate forms for construction and non-construction
work. See Pre-Work Hazard Analysis forms. |
