Regulatory Guidance• No specific JHA

standard

• OSHA provides JHA guidelines

• JHA is also called job safety analysis (JSA)


What Is JHA?


• Method of identifying hazards

• Means of breaking the job down into steps

• System for easily understanding hazards

• Method of identifying hazards

• Means of breaking the job down into steps

• System for easily understanding hazards


Why Perform JHA?• Identify existing

hazards

• Identify potential hazards

• Prioritize corrective actions

• Reduce or eliminate hazards


What Are the Benefits of JHA?• Improves safety

performance

• Reduces absences

• Increases productivity

• Improves morale

• Assists in OSHA compliance


How Are Jobs Selected for JHA?

• High accident, injury, or illness rates

• Frequent near misses

• Procedures, processes, or equipment changes

• All other jobs



Who Is Involved In JHA?• Safety personnel

• Department managers and supervisors

• Employees who perform the jobs

• Design engineers

• Maintenance personnel


How Are Hazards Identified?• General inspections

• Special inspections

• Walkaround inspections


What Are OSHA’s Inspections Guidelines?

• List departments and operations involved

• List operational activities

• Assign inspection dates and duties

• Determine sequence of activities and route

• Identify follow-up responsibilities

• List departments and operations involved

• List operational activities

Break down the job

Identify the hazards

Evaluate the hazards

Determine safe procedures and protective measures

Revise the JHA

Steps in JHA


Break Down the Job• List each task in order of

occurrence

• Describe each action

• Consider the conditions

• Think about safety issues

STEP 1



• Impact

• Penetration

• Being caught betweenpinch points

• Harmful airborne contaminants

• Repetitive motions and awkward postures

STEP 2

Identify the Hazards


• Heat/cold

• Compression

• Optical radiation

• Chemical exposures

• Ionizing radiation

• Slippery surfaces

STEP 2

Identify the Hazards (cont.)


Evaluate the Hazards

• Is this a safety or health hazard?

• Could the hazard cause an injury or illness?

• How serious is the risk?

• Is this hazard always present?

STEP 3



Evaluate the Hazards (cont.)

• Are engineering and administrative controls effective?

• Is the right PPE being used?

• Is safety training creating sufficient awareness?

• Are protective measures adequate?

STEP 3



Determine Safe Procedures and Protections

Determine Safe Procedures and Protections

STEP 4


• Perform job differently

• Reconfigure work area/ workstations

• Substitute less hazardous materials

• Change from manual to mechanical

• Insulating or cleaning

• Perform job differently

• Reconfigure work area/ workstations

• Substitute less hazardous materials

• Change from manual to mechanical

• Insulating or cleaning


Determine Safe Procedures and Protections (cont.)

• Add, improve, change safety training

• Change tools or equipment

• Change or add PPE

• Perform certain tasks less often

STEP 4


Revise the JHA:• When an accident,

injury, or work-related illness occurs

• After a near miss

• When the job changes

• Following an employee safety complaint

• When equipment is damaged

• Per scheduled review

STEP 5


Control Method Hierarchy


Revise the JHA

Identify hazards

Determine safe procedures and protective measures

Break down the job

Put the steps in their proper order:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5. Evaluate the hazards


JHA StepsDo you understand:

• How to break down a job for JHA?

• How to identify hazards?

• How to evaluate hazards?

• How to determine safe procedures and protections?

• When a JHA should be revised?


Key Points to Remember

JHA is an essential part of any effective safety program

You should be familiar with JHA

Your participation in JHA is important
