1. JHA: Job Hazard Analysis

2. Job Hazard Analysis  A multi-step process designed to study and analyze a task or job, then break down that task into steps which provide a means of eliminating associated hazards

3. Job Hazard Analysis Process Safety Observations + Recording of Detailed Information

4. Job Hazard Analysis is a constantly evolving process which serves as a continual improvement tool

5. JHA Implementation Process  Develop a Job List  Select a Method  Prepare the JHA Forms  Complete the JHA Forms

6. Select the Jobs from a Comprehensive Job List  Jobs that have the potential for serious injury or fatality  Jobs that have consistently produced injuries, illnesses, and ergonomic claims  Jobs that have resulted in injures with cases of high severity  Jobs with a high frequency

7. Analyze your trends and devise a game plan

8. Method to Accomplish JHAs  One-on-One Observation  Group Discussion  Recall and Check  Absentee Method

9. One-on-One  Positives: 1.More involvement and feedback 2.Facilitates learning 3.Improvements are readily identified and corrected  Negatives: 1.It may be difficult to catch jobs performed infrequently

10. Group Discussion  Positives: 1.Encourages open discussion which generates ideas 2.Overall knowledge of group is utilized  Negatives: 1.Leader must be a good facilitator 2.Corrective measures are sometimes slow to implement

11. Recall and Check  Positives: 1.Utilizes observer and worker  Negatives: 1.Observer must have a good memory 2.Accuracy depends on checking with several workers

12. Absentee Method  JHAs are completed back at the office  This is the least desirable method

13. JHA Form Exercise  There are a few forms to use. –Fit the form to your operation and the type of task.

14. JHA Steps  List the Job Steps  Assign hazards to each Job Step  Devise corrective action, preventative methods, and/or safe procedures to complete job steps

15. Basic Steps Column  Keep words to a minimum –6 or fewer words  Ensure words are simply the “what” associated with the step  Keep the basic steps to a maximum of 10 steps

16. Potential Hazards Column  Be sure to identify only legitimate hazards which are highly probable.  Identify hazards using codes such as SB (struck by), CO (caught on) etc.

17. Injury Identification  SBStruck By  SA Struck Against  CB Caught Between  CW Contact With  CBy Contact By  CO Caught On  CI Caught In  FS Fall Same Level  FB Fall to Below  O Overexertion  E Exposure

18. Safe Procedures Column  Provide solutions to avoid potential hazards  Align the numbers in each column  Ensure the narrative is easy to read  Identify any special PPE  Keep the narrative specific and eliminate wordiness that may cause confusion

19. JHA Role in 4 Key Hiring Practices 1.Interview Process: Preparation 2.Interview: Behavior- Based Questions 3.Job Descriptions 4.New Hire Orientation

20. Interview Process: Preparation  May ask applicants about their ability to perform job functions  If medical examination is given, it must be job-related

21. Interview: Behavior-Based Questions  Questions are based on a JHA of situations or decisions likely to be faced on the job  Can be a predictor of an attitude towards safety

22. Actual Behavior-Based Questions  Assess three elements in the response: –Description of the situation –Action outcome –Outcome: positive or negative

23. New Hire Orientation  Improves the quality of teaching the job procedures  Establishes realistic job expectations  Improves attitude on the job

24. Any Questions?
