Blocked Exits and Corridors Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)

The Blocked Exits and Corridors Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) app is useful in performing such an evaluation. When working on buildings, be it construction, maintenance, or any other work, it is critical that personnel or contractors ensure access to exits, stairwells, and exit doors, as well as ensuring corridors and areas outside of exit doors remain accessible for emergency evacuation purposes. This app can prompt workers to ensure that corridors and stairs are kept free of storage, that stairwells are not used in any way that makes them difficult to exit, and that any impairment that must be done is coordinated and planned with a facility manager to ensure escape routes are available. This safety analysis ensures that workers can easily evacuate from rooms in a building, and safely make it to safe areas. All exit routes must stay unobstructed. Emergency exit routes are important because they supply a clear means to evacuate a building in the event of a crisis or disaster. This app should be used by workers or facility managers to promote occupational safety and ensure compliance with NFPA and CFR standards and regulations.
