This comprehensive Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) procedure provides a detailed framework for the safe execution of batching plan operations. It systematically identifies potential hazards, assesses associated risks, and outlines essential control measures to ensure the safety and health of all personnel involved, as well as the protection of the environment. The document covers all phases of batching operations, including preparation, setup, execution, monitoring, and shutdown. Key areas addressed include chemical exposure and inhalation hazards, material handling and ergonomic risks, equipment operation dangers, fire and explosion prevention, confined space entry considerations (if applicable), noise exposure, and environmental protection. It emphasizes the importance of pre-operational checks, documentation review, area inspection, equipment verification, and emergency preparedness. Specific operational procedures and control measures for material charging and weighing are also detailed. This document serves as a crucial tool for risk management in chemical processing, manufacturing, and other industries where batching is a core activity. It is ideal for Safety Officers, HSE Managers, Operations Supervisors, Process Engineers, and Plant Operators.
