Periodic Review of JHA• Reviewing job hazard analysis

ensures that it remains current and continues to prevent accidents and injuries.

• It is possible that during the review process you will identify hazards that were not identified in the initial analysis.

• Review the JHA after accidents, you may determine that you need to change the job procedure to prevent similar incidents.

• Review after all close calls and discuss the situation with all employees that do the job.

Safety and Health Inspections

• Cover entire worksite• Regular intervals• Inspectors trained• Hazards tracked to

correction

Objectives for Inspections• There may be many objectives to the

inspection process:– Meet OSHA or other legal responsibility– Involve the team– Identify areas of undue risk and control hazards– Identify and develop positive attitudes– Suggest better methods of doing job

Inspections• OSHA recommends that you perform general

workplace inspections.• Check the standard so that you know what

must be inspected.• What are some examples of items that must

be inspected?

Employee Involvement• What are some reasons for involving

employees in the process?– Demonstrate commitment to safety– Allow them to become familiar with the process

safety requirement.– _____________________– _____________________– _____________________

Documenting the Inspection• A checklist of workplace specific hazards

should be developed. To accomplish this:– List the potential hazards in the workplace– Examine the work areas to locate hazards– Check with employees and records

Resources for Checklist• Insurance and safety consultants• Accident/incident investigation reports (past

problems)• Small business handbook• Manufacturer Specifications• JHA and/or employee input• Standards that apply to industry

Checklist Development• Avoid making the checklist: vague, excessive detail, and

overwhelming.• Checklist is a tool.• As the inspectors become more skilled, the less reliance there

will be on this checklist.• You should get the point that hazards rarely are identified and

hazards are corrected immediately.

Examination of the Workplace

• Identify conditions that might develop• Location of the hazard• Severity potential

Safety Inspection Report
