Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)

NAME : ALEXIUS HENRY


(DOSH409FT01)
What is Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)?

It is a method for systematically identifying and


evaluating hazards associated with a particular job or
task. It is also called “job safety analysis (JSA)”.
EXAMPLE OF JSA FORM
Why conduct a job hazard analysis?

A job hazard analysis can prevent work-related death,


injuries or illnesses by eliminating or controlling identified
hazards.
Hazard Awareness

Accepting a risk or hazard is not the


same as eliminating or controlling it.
How do I conduct a JHA?
1. Identify the job or task to be analyzed.

2. Break the job or task into key components.

3. Identify the hazards found in each key component.

4. Identify ways to eliminate or control these hazards.

5. Eliminate the hazard or install controls.

6. Keep a record of the hazards identified and steps


taken to eliminate or control them.

7. Periodically assess controls to ensure they are working


correctly.
WHEN SHOULD THE JHA SHOULD
BE DONE??????
Any job or task that meets any of the following conditions should also have a
JHA conducted for it:

• New people doing the task,

• Tasks that have changed,

• Rarely performed jobs,


WHERE TO FIND JOBS THAT NEED TO BE ANALYSED?

Look at jobs where workers have been


injured using existing information from:

• Your accident or incident reports

• Your worker compensation claims


Involving employees – a good
idea

Once you have identified jobs needing a JHA,


then it is time to start conducting the JHA.

Involving employees and/or foreman or


supervisors in the JHA process allows them to
bring their insights about the jobs to the
process.
THE BREAKING DOWN!
Break job down into key components

Once a job is identified, you will need to break it


into key components or sub-tasks and list all the
hazards associated with each sub-task.

Ranking Hazardous Tasks

Once you have identified jobs or tasks that have the potential to
or are in fact injuring workers, you will need to rank these tasks
and start addressing the most serious first.
EXAMPLE OF RANKING OR CLASSIFYING
THE HAZARD. Severity Table
Score Classification Description

4 Catastrophic May cause death

3 Critical May cause severe injury or illness

2 Marginal May cause minor injury or illness

1 Minor Will not cause injury or illness

Probability Table
Score Classification Description

5 frequent Very likely to occur frequently


4 probable Probably will occur at some time
3 Occasional May occur infrequently
2 Remote Unlikely, but possible
1 Improbable So unlikely, it is assumed it will not occur
Eliminating or controlling hazards

After you have identified the jobs and evaluated its sub-
tasks and hazards, you will need to identify ways to
eliminate or control these hazards.
WAYS OF ELIMINATING OR CONTROLING
THE HAZARD!!!
Engineering Control

Unguarded belt

Guarded belt
Equipment Lock-out
Locking out electrical equipment or moving parts of
machinery eliminates hazards during maintenance.
Administrative Controls
Administrative controls act on the worker, not the hazard.
The hazard still exists, but the worker avoids the hazard
by the way they do their job.
Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be considered only after other


control methods have been tried or shown not to be feasible.

PPE should ALWAYS be the last


solution
