Design Risk Analysis Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Checklist

FAA Form 3900-17 (03/15) Electronic Version (PDF) Page 1 of 12

Section A. Purpose

This checklist is intended to be used as a tool to identify environmental compliance and occupational safety and health (EOSH) requirements during project design.

Specifically, this checklist is intended to:

Ensure that the project is properly designed in regard to EOSH requirements; and

Ensure that the execution of the project will not disrupt NAS operations due to EOSH issues.

The scope, schedule, and cost of a project may be impacted if EOSH requirements are not addressed. In addition, failure to address EOSH requirements in a project could lead to regulatory action against the FAA. This checklist will be completed by the Project Engineer and/or Program Manager for the project. For plans/projects managed by Engineering Services, the cognizant Engineering Services EOSH Coordinator will review and sign the document. The Engineering Services EOSH Coordinator should be consulted at the planning stage. For turnkey plans/projects managed by Headquarters organizations, the national Program Office will ensure that sufficient EOSH technical support resources are provided. For non-Engineering Services projects managed exclusively by local facilities and/or field organizations, the appropriate manager (e.g., District Office Manager or SSC Manager) will request EOSH technical support. This form is required to be completed as per FAA Order JO 3900.57A.

If EOSH issues are identified on this checklist, then it is the responsibility of the organization managing the project to address those issues. The checklist is completed with available information. If that information is not complete or changes are made during design, the checklist may need to be revised. It may be necessary to use additional references for any design modifications. This checklist relies on the training and professional judgment of the user. EOSH personnel should be consulted as needed.
