Introduce Job Hazard Analysis Techniques.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Job Safety Analysis
What is it?Process of studying and recording each step of a
job, identifying existing or potential hazards, and determining the best way to perform the job to reduce or eliminate the hazards.
JSA
JSA is used to determine: Physical, procedural, and/or environmental
based hazards that do or could exist Actions of personnel which could result in
accidents or injuries Measures to be implemented which will
eliminate or control hazards so the job can be performed safely
Elements of JSA
Four basic steps:1. Selecting jobs for analysis
2. Breaking each selected job into steps
3. Identify the hazards associated with each step
4. Eliminate or correct the hazards
JSA Benefits
Prevention/reduction of hazards in the performance of your job
Prevention/reduction of occurrences of accidents
Improvements in job performance Coordinates with PPE selection, Ergonomic
assessments, complying with ADA Standardizes work procedures
More Benefits
Employee training
Identify jobs for return to work program
Employee orientation
Job reviews
Document corrections and improvements
Safety Audits
Accident Investigations
OSHA Requirements
General Duty Clause 5(a)(1)
Many OSHA Standards require hazard analysis: EAP Hazcom PPE LOTO
When Should JSA Be Created
JSA should be performed when: Job does not currently have JSA New job is created When accident or near miss occurs When employee has concern
Members of JSA Team
No single method Typical members: Safety manager Safety team members Employees Supervisors Human Resources Engineering
Employee Involvement
Reasons for involving employees: Familiarity Identify hazards not observable Avoids alienation Gains “buy-in” for necessary changes
Employee Involvement
Discuss process with employees performing the job and explain purposeInvolve employee in all phases after job selectionHigher success ratesMore effective JSA results
Resistance
Departmental managers may not fully cooperate because: Process seen as a disruption to their work area Employee involvement detrimental to
productivity
Overcome by communicating benefits of JSA and involving management members in the process
Approaches to JSA
Observation Method
Discussion Method
Observation Method
Directly observe the job task, to evaluate each step and understand the hazards involved.
Ask questions of the operators and draw upon their knowledge of established procedures, problems, and difficult areas
Preferred Method
Discussion Method
Requires getting people together who have knowledge of the job and discuss a particular job task.
Job analysis is not done at the site of the job. Some points could be missed.
Secondary Method
JSA Video
What is a Job?
What is a Job?
A JOB is a description of a function in the company
Supervisor; Assembler; Material Handler
Each job is made up of TASKS.
Examples of Tasks
TASK – sequence of steps or activities that together accomplish a goal.
Hanging a door Unloading drums from truck with forklift Filling cans on an assembly line Machining parts in a mill
Step 1: Selecting Jobs for JSA
High risk jobs first
Indicators used to select jobs: Frequency Severity Potential Severity
Materials to Aid in Job Selection
Accident reports
OSHA logs
Workers’ Compensation claims
Step 2: Job Task Breakdown
List each step of the job in order of occurrence as you watch the employee perform the job.
Don’t break the job down into steps so small as to be meaningless or too broad that something is missed.

Recommended Safe PracticesPotential Hazards Unsafe Acts or
ConditionsSequence of Basic Job Steps
Hazard Type
Planting A Tree (example 1)
1. Dig hole.
2. Insert tree.
3. Backfill planting.
What’s wrong with this?
Planting A Tree (example 2)
1. Pick up shovel
2. Position shovel
3. Put foot on shovel
4. Push shovel with foot.
5. Etc.
What’s wrong with this?
Planting A Tree (example 3)
1. Bring tools
2. Dig hole
3. Prepare hole
4. Position tree in hole
5. Backfill, tamp, and water
6. Brace tree
7. Return tools
Rule of Thumb
Most jobs will separate into 10-15 basic steps, although some will have fewer and some may have more.
Employee Interviews
Conduct interview near work area
Explain only looking for facts
Ask open ended questions
Ask employee to write down job steps
Thank person for helping
Information Review
Using information gathered, including employee interview, review and revise job steps as necessary to accurately reflect current performance of job.
Step 3: Identifying Hazards
Recorded steps must be examined to determine hazards that exist or might occur.
Identification of hazards should include the hazards associated with: machines, tools, supplies, job procedures, and the surroundings

Hazard Types
1. Contact by or against objects.
2. Caught in or between objects
3. Falls same level.
4. Falls elevation.
5. Overexertion.
6. Environmental exposure
Additional Training
Do JSA Team Members need additional training in hazard recognition? Know difference between physical and health
hazards? Understand basic electrical principles? Understand hazards of extreme hot or cold
environments?
Step 4: Controls
After hazards or potential hazards have been listed and reviewed, the next step is eliminate the hazards, or reduce the hazards.

Administration Controls
Hierarchy of Hazard Correction
Use Engineering controls where feasible and appropriate
Use Administrative controls, such as reducing the duration of exposure.
Hierarchy of Hazard Correction
Use Procedures for safe work which are understood and followed by all parties, as a result of training, positive reinforcement, correction of unsafe performance, and enforcement through a clearly communicated
disciplinary system
Use Personal Protective Equipment
Reviewing/Revising JSAs
JSA are only effective if they are reviewed and updated periodically.
Trigger points: When accidents occur When the job process changes After near misses Employee complaint Equipment suffers damage Periodic Reviews
Conclusion
The process of JSA can be applied to any job in any workplace, to improve work procedures and make jobs safer and easier to perform.
The goal of this process is to educate everyone by getting them involved in identifying hazards and developing controls to keep everyone safe.

WORKSITE ANALYSIS
WORKSITE ANALYSIS IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR MAIN PARTS:
1. Gathering information from available sources.
2. Conducting baseline screening surveys to determine which jobs need a closer analysis.
3. Performing job hazard analyses of those work stations with identified risk factors.
4. After implementing control measures, conducting periodic surveys and follow-up to evaluate changes.

STEPS IN CONDUCTING JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
STEP 1 - DETERMINING GENERAL CONDITIONS OF JOB
SET THE EMPLOYEE TO BE OBSERVED AT EASE. POINT OUT THAT YOU ARE STUDYING THE JOB NOT
PERFORMANCE! INVOLVE THE EMPLOYEE IN THE ANALYSIS. SPEAK WITH CO-WORKERS. DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF THE JOB ON CO-WORKERS. REVIEW ANTICIPATED RISK FACTORS REVIEW GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR PERFORMING JOB.
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
STEP 2 - BREAKING DOWN THE JOB
LIST EACH STEP IN ORDER OF OCCURRENCE. RECORD EACH STEP OF JOB ACTION. GO OVER THE STEPS WITH THE EMPLOYEE. FINALIZE THE STEPS INVOLVED.
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
STEP 3 - IDENTIFYING THE HAZARDS
EXAMINE EACH STEP TO DETERMINE EXISTING HAZARDS. ASK THESE KINDS OF (WHO & WHAT) QUESTIONS:
CAN CLOTHING OR JEWELRY GET CAUGHT? WHAT FIXED OBJECTS COULD CAUSE PUNCTURES? WHAT COULD THE WORKER GET CAUGHT “BETWEEN”? WHAT CAN THE WORKER GET CAUGHT IN, REACHING OVER,
UNDER, AROUND OR THROUGH ETC.? IS THE WORKER OFF-BALANCE AT ANY TIME?
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
STEP 3 - IDENTIFYING THE HAZARDS ASK THESE KINDS OF (WHO & WHAT) QUESTIONS:
IS THE WORKER POSITIONED DANGEROUSLY? WHAT REPETITIVE MOTION INJURIES ARE LIKELY? WHAT MOVING PARTS COULD STRIKE THE WORKER? CAN THE WORKER FALL FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER? CAN THE WORKER BE INJURED FROM CARRYING HEAVY
OBJECTS? WHAT ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS EXIST?
(Continued)
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
STEP 4 - EVALUATING THE HAZARDS
ASK THESE KINDS OF (WHY & HOW) QUESTIONS:
WHY ISN’T PPE SERVICEABLE? WHY IS PPE IMPROPERLY WORN? WHY DOESN’T PPE FIT PROPERLY? HOW CAN LOCKOUT PROCEDURES BE IMPROVED? WHAT CAUSES THE WORKER TO CONTACT SHARPS? WHY HAS PROPER TRAINING NOT BEEN CONDUCTED? HOW CAN THE FLOW OF WORK BE ORGANIZED BETTER?
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
STEP 5 - RECOMMENDING PROTECTIVE MEASURES DETERMINE IF THE JOB COULD BE PERFORMED IN
ANOTHER WAY TO REDUCE THE HAZARDS. LIST EACH SAFER JOB STEP OR PROTECTIVE MEASURE. BE SPECIFIC! IF JOB HAZARDS ARE STILL PRESENT:
REDUCE NECESSITY. REDUCE FREQUENCY. CONSIDER JOB ROTATION. CONSIDER JOB ENLARGEMENT.
JOB AND TASK ANALYSISContinued
STEPS IN CONDUCTING JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
STEP 6 - REVISING THE JHA
JHA’S MUST BE REVIEWED & REVISED PERIODICALLY. REPEAT JHA’S CAN CATCH HAZARDS ON THE SECOND LOOK. IF AN INJURY OR CLOSE-CALL OCCURS REDO THE JHA. RETRAINING SHOULD FOLLOW EACH JHA.

Job Safety Analysis
Job means “task”
(Changing a tire not auto mechanic)
“key” steps
too detailed becomes cumbersome
not enough detail becomes useless
Break job down into key steps
making the breakdown so detailed That an unnecessarily large number of steps results
making the job breakdown so general that basic steps are not recorded
AVOID
Group Activity
Job Safety Analysis
“Changing a Flat Tire on an Automobile”
Key Steps (TOO MANY)Changing a Flat Tire
Pull off road
Put car in “park”
Set brake
Activate emergency flashers
Open door
Get out of car
Walk to trunk
Put key in lock
Open trunk
Remove jack
Remove Spare tire
Key Steps (NOT ENOUGH)Changing a Flat Tire
Park car
take off flat tire
put on spare tire
drive away
Key Job Steps JUST RIGHTChanging a Flat tire
Park car, set brake
remove jack & tire from trunk
loosen lug nuts
jack up car
remove tire
set new tire
jack down car
tighten lug nuts
store tire & jack
Hazards
Parking Car Struck by Traffic
Removing tire & jack Back Strain bang head on trunk
Loosen lug nuts back/arm strain slip & fall
Jacking up car car could fall off jack
Setting new tire fingers pinched back strain
Tighten nuts back strain slip & fall
Work Observation
Select experienced worker(s) who will cooperate and participate in the JSA process.
Explain purpose of JSA.
Observe the employee performing the job and write down basic steps.
Completely describe each step.
Note deviations (Very Important!)
Identify Hazards and Potential Accidents
Search for Hazards Produced by Work Produced by Environment
Repeat job observation as many times as necessary to identify all hazards
Develop Solutions
Find a new way to do job
Change physical conditions that create hazards
Change the work procedure
Reduce frequency
New way to do job
Determine the work goal of the job, and then analyze the various ways of reaching this goal to see which way is safest.
Consider work saving tools and equipment.
Change in physical conditions
Tools, materials, equipment layout or location
Study change carefully for other benefits (costs, time savings)
Change in work procedures
What should the worker do to eliminate the hazard
How should it be done?
Document changes in detail
Reduce frequency
What can be done to reduce the frequency of the job??
Identify parts that cause frequent repairs - change
Reduce vibration save machine parts
What effects??
A job that has been redesigned may affect other jobs or work processes.
Check or re-observe the new process once it has been redesigned
