JHA is a simple method of identifying and controlling the risks and hazards associated with each operation in the workplace. We’ll start by looking at the role of OSHA, and covers the benefits of performing Job Hazard Analysis including improving health and safety performance and reducing absences. Stress is reduced and employees can take their time and work safely, so productivity increases and the organization operates at peak performance. Then we’ll look at the actions you should take before beginning a JHA including how you can involve the workforce. We’ll cover the five key stages of JHA, and look at how to choose the appropriate level of control and develop a hazard control plan. We’ll also look at how to review and revise controls once they are in place. Finally, we’ll discuss the importance of JHA and detail how they should be completed with useful, practical tips.
