JHA JOB Hazard Analysis

JHA JOB Hazard Analysis

Definitionhandout: Job Hazard Analysis

• A hazard is anything (including work practices or procedures) that has the potential to harm the health or safety of a person.

• Hazards can arise from:– the workplace environment– the use of plant and substances– poor work design or practices– Inappropriate management systems and

practices– Human behaviour

Job Hazard Analysis• A job hazard analysis is an exercise in

detective work. Your goal is to discover the following:

– What can go wrong?– What are the consequences?– How could it arise?– What are other contributing factors?– How likely is it that the hazard will occur?

Hazard Controls• The are three methods to control Hazards.

• These should be done in the following order.

1. Engineering controls.2. Administrative controls.3. Personal protective equipment.

Engineering Controls

• Engineering controls include the following:

– Substitution of equipment to decrease hazard

– Isolation of the hazard with interlocks, machine guards, blast shields, etc

– Removal the hazard such as with local and exhaust ventilation.

Administrative Controls

• Administrative controls include the following:

– Written procedures, work permits, and safe work practices;

– Exposure time limitations

– Alarms, signs, and warnings

– Buddy system; and training

PPE

• Personal Protective Equipment is acceptable as a control method in the following circumstances:

– When engineering controls are not feasible

– While engineering controls are being developed;

– When safe work practices do not provide sufficient additional protection; and

PPE
