Blocked Walkways Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)

At times, walkways must be blocked off in order to conduct work or while an unexpected issue is being addressed. Blocked walkways can pose trip and fall hazards or cause collisions with heavy equipment or hazardous materials. A traffic flow plan provides for both work efficiency and the safety of all personnel on the job site. Using the Blocked Walkways Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) app, users can identify potential hazards from blocked walkways before the project begins and follow safety guidelines for alternative movement of people on site. With the app, a user can provide a description of all planned activities for the scope of work for the entire project. For each task, hazards and requirements are noted alongside the environmental, health and safety clause. App users will find worker information and requirements in order to minimize the risks that workers or pedestrians could be subject to. Requirements include using traffic cones and signs to indicate blocked walkways, determining alternate routes, and ensuring that all workers have donned appropriate personal protective equipment. This app would be a useful tool for any construction project or worksite.

As an employer or supervisor, use this app as part of occupational safety procedures to prevent injury according to an improved safety and health program. Use this app on an as-needed basis to identify safety violations involved with blocked walkways to improve workplace safety and reduce health hazards in the workplace. Uphold standards and policies that limit workplace hazards.
