Construction Safety Guidelines

Mobilization at Camp Zama carries an overall risk assessment code (RAC) of L, or low risk. Key hazards include employees not being properly trained, risk of head, foot, or eye injuries when putting on PPE, and risk of crushing, pinching or excessive lifting when receiving deliveries and storing materials. Controls include conducting training, wearing hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves, and hearing protection as needed. Materials must be properly stacked and stored to avoid tipping over or pinching hazards.

  • Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA): Comprehensive analysis of activities outlining procedures, potential hazards, and control measures for specific tasks.

Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)

Activity/Work Task: MOBILIZATION Overall Risk Assessment Code (RAC) (Use highest code) L
Project Location: Camp Zama Risk Assessment Code (RAC) Matrix
Contract Number: A-19-130 (JF-80009- 8J) Probability

Date Prepared: August 31, 2021 Frequent Likely Occasional Seldom Unlikely
Prepared By: AEC TBO Construction Catastrophic E E H H M
Critical E H H M L

Notes: Field Notes, Review comments, etc. Negligible M L L L L
Step 1: Review each "Hazard" with identified safety "Controls" and determine RAC (See above)
"Probability" is the likelihood to cause an incident, near miss, or accident and identified as:
Frequent, Likely, Occasional, Seldom or Unlikely. RAC Chart
"Severity" is the outcome/degree if an incident, near miss, or did occur and identified as: E = Extremely High-Risk
Catastrophic, Critical, Marginal, or Negligible H = High Risk
Step 2: Identify the RAC (Probability/Severity) as E, H, or L for each "Hazard" on AHA. Annotate M = Moderate Risk
the overall highest RAC at the top of AHA L = Low Risk
