People vs. Process
“80% of problems are
caused NOT by bad
PEOPLE, but by bad
PROCESS.”
- Deming, father of quality
movement
If you pit a great
PERFORMER against a
lousy PROCESS, the
process will win every time.

Two Types of Hazards
Health Hazards
• Chemicals: Solvents,
gases, etc.
• Physical: Noise,
vibration, heat/cold,
radiation
• Biological: Bacteria,
fungi, insects
• Ergonomic: Workplace
design, repetitive motion
Safety Begins with ME!
Safety Hazards
• Machine: Moving parts,
belts, blades
• Energy: Pneumatics,
hydraulics, steam, kinetic,
electricity
• Material handling: hand
carts, conveyors
• Work Practices
Causes of Hazards
• Materials – Wrong types or improper handling
• Equipment – Tools & machines used
• Process – Combination of above: flow of work, design,
organization
• Environment – Conditions of surfaces, ventilation,
lighting, temperature, noise, housekeeping
• Energy – In various forms may harm if not controlled
• People – Actions people take (or do not take)

Job Safety Analysis
PURPOSE: To identify potential hazards within a process
and take proactive steps to eliminate them or
minimize the risk.
WHO:
Need people who know the work/task to
participate in this process (and know HOW to
do this)
STEPS:
Job
1.List basic job steps
2.Identify potential hazards
3.Resolve hazards

Job Safety Analysis Exercise
Purpose: To practice conducting a Process Safety
Analysis.
• Step 1: List Sequence of Basic Job Steps (Column 1)
(If possible, view a videotape of the process as you do this)
• Step 2: Identify Potential Hazards (Column 2)
• Step 3: Recommend Safe Job Procedures (Column 3)

Job Safety Analysis – Step 1:
Exercise
List Sequence of Basic Job Steps (Column 1)
• List step-by-step what must be done
• Choose level of detail that is fairly specific
• May help to list steps on post-it-notes or sheets of
paper that can be moved around on the wall

Job Safety Analysis – Step 2:
Exercise
Identify Potential Hazards (Column 2)
• Remember Hazards can be of two types:
– Health hazards (ergonomic concerns, noise, chemicals, bacteria)
– Safety hazards (moving parts, energy, material handling)
• And may be caused by:

Handout: Safety: I KNOW it when I SEE it
Hazard Cards
Various industry checklists

Recommend Safe Job Procedures (Column 3)
Ways to Increase Job Safety:
• Eliminate the hazards
• Control exposure
• Avoid general warnings to “be careful” which do
little good
• If you find too many hazards, question the entire
task. Should it really be done?

South Dakota Highway Sign
• SD Drivers are reminded of highway
fatalities at many points along their
route – one sign for each death.
• Each Sign Reads: “X Marks the Spot.
THINK! Drive Safely”
• On the back it says: “Why Die?”
• Would we be more careful if we were
reminded daily at work of injuries that
had occurred?

Important Questions
• What is your responsibility for work instructions?
• Whose responsibility is it to know and follow the
documented work instructions?
• Whose responsibility is it to make sure that
everyone is following safe work procedures?

REVIEW
Module Review
• Hazards come in many shapes and sizes –
– Health hazards and Safety hazards
– Six broad causes: M E P E E P
• Job Safety Analysis is a disciplined approach to
identifying and minimizing hazards
• Work instructions can be formal (procedure
manuals) or informal (job aids and placards)
• Everyone is responsible to identify and control
workplace hazards
Safety Begins with ME!
Assignments
• Perform a Job Safety Analysis – Each area should
schedule time to perform a JSA of an important
task they perform
• Improve or create a new work instruction. Be sure
that any work instructions associated with jobs
that have been analyzed (in #1) are revised to
reflect the safety improvements

Thank You for Participating
Just a little bit of
prevention . . .
. . . can prevent a
whole lot of pain!
Let’s be sure that we BUILD SAFETY into our work processes.
