Job Hazard Analysis
A job hazard analysis is a technique that
focuses on job tasks as a way to identify
hazards before they occur. It focuses on the
relationship between the worker, the task,
the tools, and the work environment.
Ideally, after you identify uncontrolled
hazards, you will take steps to eliminate or
reduce them to an acceptable risk level OSHA

Planning
Any job hazard analysis should be on paper
You may review it on chalk board; however,
have a hard copy available
Site plans should pinpoint hazards and
exposures
Also include a floor plan
