Documentation
Definition
Key that identifies a work area or pattern.
Use
The work area is the point of reference for many activities, for example:
- Performing a risk assessment (based on the assignment of an agent to a work area)
- Generating an exposure profile
- Updating and evaluating a company incident/accident log
Dependencies
By assigning work areas to work area types, you classify the work areas and assign them to hierarchy levels at the same time (corporate group, location, manufacturing plant).
Before you can do this, you must specify the work area types and the corresponding hierarchy relationships in Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety.

Supplementary Documentation - CCIHE_WAID0001
Use
You can assign a higher-level work area to the work area you want to create by defining hierarchical relationships. If you do this, the system uses the work area type to check whether the assignment is permitted.
Procedure
Enter the key for the higher-level work area or choose an entry using the search help.
Note
You can display a graphic of the current status of hierarchical relationships in the ZH>work area structure.

Use
Patterns are special work areas without reference to a place or organization that allow you to create standardized exposure profiles and risk assessments for frequently occurring activities and work areas.
You can assign any number of "real" work areas to patterns and vice versa. By means of this assignment, the exposure profile entries and dependent risk assessments of the patterns are transferred to the work areas as a reference, thus minimizing data entry time and effort.
As the data in patterns is transferred only as a reference and not as a copy, any subsequent changes made to the patterns are automatically passed on to the assigned work areas. You can, however, delete the reference. This removes the link to the pattern and you can copy the data to your local exposure profile.
Notes
- Patterns cannot have versions assigned.
- If you assign patterns that contain exposure profile entries for the same agent, the exposure profile entry of the lowest (selected) pattern in the hit list is transferred.
- Using collective patterns you can group a number of individual patterns together into one unit.
