OSHA’s
Voluntary Protection Program (VPP)
Job Hazard Analysis
Mishap reporting
This class is only intended to familiarize you with the programs
in place at MCCS Camp Lejeune-New River. For a more
detailed explanation of each program see your supervisor.
1
What is VPP?
• It’s a performance-based safety and
health ‘partnership’ between OSHA
and private industries
2
Purpose of VPP
To achieve Significant Improvement in
Safety performance
BY
All employees being actively involved
in safety programs.
3
VPP Requirements
• All employees must have at least three (3)
meaningful ways to participate in Safety,
Health problem identification and resolutions
• An Easy way to remember this is;
o 1. Identify the hazard
o 2. Report the hazard
o 3. Remove the hazard
4. See it
5. Say it
6. Fix it
4
VPP Participation
• Examples of employee participation include but not
limited to:
– Safety and health problem-solving teams
– Routine assessments or worksite inspections
– Accident and near miss investigations
– Hazard analysis and abatement programs
– Volunteering to be a Safety Representative
– Training (old/new employees)

VPP Summary
1. VPP is a program designed to eliminate injuries in
the workplace and make it a safer place to work.
2. VPP will only work if every employee gets involved
in the safety process. Every MCCS employee is a
safety representative so get involved!
3. VPP is a program to get the employee involved in
safety. So lets all team up and make our workplace
a safe place to work by actively participating in
safety programs.

Job Hazard Analysis
(JHA’s)
In support of OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program
(VPP)
&
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’ s desire to
Improve workplace safety, JHA’s shall be conducted
on all job tasks to identify and control common
hazards.
This lesson will assist you with establishing a JHA
for all job tasks.
WHAT’s a JHA?
 A Job Hazard Analysis is a technique that focuses on
job tasks as a way to identify hazards before they
result in injury, illness, property damage, or worse
 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
Conducting a JHA
 A Job Hazard Analysis should be conducted and
documented by a team of supervisors & employees,
who are familiar with and knowledgeable of the job
process.
 This team should be knowledgeable, but objective.
People who work frequently on the task tend to get
comfortable, and can overlook hazards others would
spot.
Conducting a JHA
• The JHA is a five step process
Identify Hazardous
Conditions – Step 1
Identify the hazards of each step by asking :
•
•
•
•
•
What can go wrong?
What are the consequences?
How could it happen?
What are other contributing factors?
How likely is it that the hazard will
occur, i.e. daily,monthly or once a year?
Determine Root Causes –
Step 2
Root Cause - failure, or fault from which a chain of effects or failures
originates.
Example : Employee cut hand with a box cutter
Contributing factor : hand in path of blade
Contributing factor:: Lack of training from supervisor
Root Cause : Lack of training
• Potential causes of injuries include:
o Lack of knowledge
o Lack of physical ability
o Prior training that included unsafe practices
o Previously unidentified hazard
o Newly introduced hazard resulting from process or equipment
change.
Eliminate the Hazards –
Step 3
After Hazards are identified they must be
mitigated using one or a combination of these
techniques
Engineering Controls
• Engineering controls eliminate exposure
to the hazard by:
• 1. Isolating the employee from the hazard
• 2. Improving (redesign) work area layout
• 3. Substituting less hazardous product
• 4. Modifying equipment
Administrative Controls
• Administrative controls reduce employee
exposure to a hazard by:
1. Reducing the frequency of performing
the hazardous task
2. Rotating employees to reduce exposure
time
3. Training employees to recognize
hazards and employ safety practices.
PPE
• OSHA requires employers to provide PPE to
reduce employee exposure to hazards when
engineering and administrative controls are not
feasible or effective
• PPE alone should not be relied on to protect
against hazards; other uses include guards,
engineering controls, and sound manufacturing
practices.
Control Measures – Step 4
Correct the unsafe conditions and processes.
 Train all employees on the new conditions
and updated process
 Ensure employees understand these changes
 Use the JHAs!
Evaluation of Effectiveness
Step 5
 Once the JHA is completed, it should be reviewed by
someone with authority to implement changes.
 Supervisors should follow up to make sure that the
recommendations have been acted upon.
 The JHA’s should be logged and filed for future
reference.
JHA Summary
• In order to ensure each employee is not
only working in a safe environment they
must also work safely. The JHA provides
a method of identifying hazards and
taking the necessary steps to reduce the
chance of a mishap. Every MCCS
employee is REQUIRED to read their
JHA prior to performing their job task.
Mishap reporting
• If a mishap occurs at work, that
requires first aid or medical
treatment, it MUST be reported
immediately to Workers Comp and
in Enterprise Safety Management
System (ESAMS).
Purpose of reporting
the mishap• To identify mishap causal factors and
develop corrective actions to prevent
similar occurrences
• To ensure compliance for safety
investigation, OSHA reporting, and
record keeping
What's a Mishap vs.
Near Miss?
• Mishap – Any time an employee hurts themselves &
requires either;
1. Medical attention
2. First Aid treatment
• Near Miss – When an employee hurts themselves but
does not wish to seek medical attention or first aid, for
example;
1. Bumps/Bruises
2. Scratches
3. No visible injury
Mishap reporting summary
Mishaps MUST be reported immediately in order
to provide the proper care for the employee. It
also provides a systematic approach to
identifying the hazard(s) associated with the job
task and eliminating it/them from the work place.
Although Mishap Reporting can be a complicated
process, the previous slides are only an introduction to
this topic. For a more in depth explanation, please
