Selection of team members must include facility workers for facility- and task-level analysis, and
especially during activity hazards analysis (AHA). These individuals are a valuable source of
facility knowledge, particularly when facility-operating records are sparse or not available.
Additionally, workers bring skill-of-the-craft perspectives to activities such as AHA. Worker
input should be solicited regarding present facility configuration, hazard uncertainties, and
clarifications on facility history not available through facility documents.

NOTE: Workers should also be involved in hazard analysis activities. Also, medical surveillance staff help to ensure
worker protection through evaluation of worker health and potential impacts associated with workplace hazards.
