How can you identify hazards to ensure a safer workplace?
When used properly, a job hazard analysis (JHA) is an excellent tool for this challenge, and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) even requires it for personal protective equipment (PPE) hazard assessments.
Job hazard analysis, also known as job safety analysis (JSA), is a technique that identifies the hazards of specific tasks to reduce the risk of injuries/illnesses. JHA involves breaking down workplace jobs into component steps and paying close attention to employees as they perform these jobs, use their tools and interact with their environments. Those observing will produce notes of the hazards encountered and deliver a report.
