Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)

A Job Hazard Analysis is one of the most practical ways to identify hazards before work begins.

Every task has its own risks. Some hazards are obvious, while others only become clear when the job is broken down step by step. A maintenance repair, machine setup, confined space entry, material handling task, hot work activity, elevated work task, or production changeover may each require different precautions, PPE, tools, permits, and controls.

The challenge is making sure those hazards are reviewed, documented, and communicated before employees begin the work.
