Job Hazard Analysis
Proactive Planning to Prevent Incidents
Also known as:
Task Safety Analysis,
Job Safety Analysis
Pre-requisites: None
Course Goals: Class participants should be able to define
what a job hazard analysis is and how to conduct a step by
step evaluation of the task(s) as related to their work
environment.
Course Description: The purpose of this course is to
instruct team members on aspects associated with the job
hazard analysis process. Students will learn how to
identify tasks, determine the hazards associated with the
tasks and take actions to mitigate the hazards.
Target Group: This training plan is designed for all
employees and line supervisors which may perform a task
associated with a reasonable hazard.
What is a Hazard?
A hazard is the potential for harm. In practical
terms, a hazard is often associated with a
condition or activity that, if left uncontrolled, can
result in an injury or illness.
 Identifying hazards (i.e., falls, trips, etc.) and
eliminating or controlling them as early as
possible will help prevent injuries and
illnesses.
Interesting Safety Statistic
Did you know that there were 4,700,600 total
recordable injury cases in the US in 2002?
What is a JHA?
A job hazard analysis (JHA) is a method that can be
used to identify, analyze and record:
1) The sequential steps for a specific job.
2) The existing or potential safety and health
hazards associated with each step.
3) The recommended action(s)/procedure(s) that
will eliminate or reduce the hazards and the
risk of a workplace injury or illness.
Interesting Safety Statistic
Did you know that there were 1,436,200 lost days
away from work due to injury in the US in 2002?
Why is a JHA Important?
Many workers are injured and killed at the
workplace every day in the United States. Safety
and health can add value to not only our business
but your job and life.
 You can help prevent workplace injuries and
illnesses by looking at your workplace
operations, establishing proper job
procedures, and ensuring that we are all
trained properly.
Interesting Safety Statistic
Did you know that there were 617,186 cases involving
sprains, strains and tears in the US in 2002?
What is the value of a JHA?
TI employees can use the findings of a job hazard
analysis to eliminate and minimize hazards in their
workplaces. Use of a JHA is likely to result in fewer
worker injuries and illnesses; safer, more effective
work methods; reduced workers’ compensation
costs; and increased productivity.
 The primary goal is the prevention of
accidents and injuries to employees.
Interesting Safety Statistic
Did you know that there were 345,294
cases involving injuries to the back in the US in 2002?
What jobs are appropriate
for a JHA?
A job hazard analysis can be conducted on many
jobs in your workplace. Priority should go to the
following jobs:
 Jobs that don’t have a standard operating procedure or where the
scope has changed.
 Non-routine jobs.
 Complex jobs with a high potential for injury.
 Jobs involving multiple companies (working with contractors).
Interesting Safety Statistic
Did you know that there were 272,988
cases involving falls in the US 2002?
Where do I begin and what are
the 4 steps to a JHA?
You begin with the
work you perform
everyday!
Take a close look at your work
environment and then
determine which tasks to
analyze. Break down the
steps, find the hazards
associated with each task then
determine how to mitigate the
hazards.
Step One of the JHA Process
Select Job
1
Any job may be
analyzed but focus
should be on:
– Jobs with higher risk
potential such as electrical
hot work, confined space,
LO/TO, etc.
– Close calls
– New jobs
– Jobs with procedure or
process changes
Step Two of the JHA Process
List Steps
2
List the steps it takes
to perform the job:
– What exactly needs to be
done
– Sequentially think through
every step
– If the JHA has more than
15 steps, consider
development of a standard
operating procedure or
phases for the JHA
Step Three of the JHA Process
List Hazards
There may be multiple
hazards associated
with each and every
task, such as:
– Physical
– Chemical
– Biological
– Environmental
3
Step Four of the JHA Process
Control Hazards
4
List the control
measures needed to
mitigate the hazard and
prevent a potential
accident (in order of
priority):
– Engineering Controls
– Management Controls
– Personal Protective
Equipment
Example Job Hazard Analysis
Job Task: Changing a Tire
STEP 1
Sequence of
Events
STEP 2
Potential Accidents or
Hazards
STEP 3
Preventive Measures
Park vehicle
a) Vehicle too close to passing
traffic
b) Vehicle on uneven, soft ground
c) Vehicle may roll
a) Drive to area well clear of traffic. Turn on
emergency flashers
b) Choose a firm, level area
c) Apply the parking brake; leave transmission in
gear or in PARK; place blocks in front and back of
the wheel diagonally opposite to the flat
Remove spare
and tool kit
a) Strain from lifting spare
a) Turn spare into upright position in the wheel
well. Using your legs and standing as close as
possible, lift spare out of truck and roll to flat tire
Pry off hub cap
and loosen lug
bolts (nuts).
a) Hub cap may pop off and hit
you
b) Lug wrench may slip
a) Pry off hub cap using steady pressure
b) Use proper lug wrench; apply steady pressure
slowly
And so on.....

STEP 4
Knowledge is Power
Job Hazard Analysis is a simple process that any Team
Member can complete.
