Job Hazard / Safety Analysis - Assessing Workplace Hazards

"The JHA course is very informative and will help greatly in the continued success of our JHA Program."
- Jeff Brown, EES Coke Battery

Course Description

Providing a safe workplace for employees is a fundamental responsibility of employers. Workers must be protected against industrial injuries and illnesses. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a proactive method for identifying the potential for injuries and incidents before they occur. It is often performed by first-line supervisors. As a predictive technique, JSA is a highly desirable adjunct to compliance-based safety programs or programs that are based on merely reacting to the occurrence of injuries and incidents. It should be part of effective occupational safety and health programs.

The course provides instruction on the use of JSA, sometimes called Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). Attendees are taught how to identify jobs and tasks for analysis. In order to perform a JSA, users must understand the various workplace hazards which are discussed in the course. The stages and steps in performing a JSA are described in detail with examples provided throughout. Attendees will practice what they are taught by performing exercises and participating in a workshop session where they conduct a JSA to gain experience using the method.

The course concludes with a discussion of how to implement a program for performing JSAs within an organization. The use of the results of JSA to reduce workplace risk is explained and examples are provided.

Objective

Be able to use JSA to evaluate hazards in the workplace.

Target Audience

Individuals involved with or responsible for occupational health and safety in an organization.

Prerequisite

Knowledge and/or experience with safety, health and environmental issues in the workplace is desirable
