Overview
Workplace safety can be improved when engineers, supervisors and employees participate in the development of safe procedures in any operations, maintenance and construction activities.
A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a technique that focuses on the hazards inherent in some job tasks, before the job begins. The goal is to identify risks sooner rather than after-the-fact. Development of a JHA is a multi-step process that will break down any job into a series of tasks and how the engineer or supervisor can implement safe methods and eliminate any associated hazards. The JHA is both a process and a product.
The student will read and review available government OSHA recommendations for developing a JHA.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credit.
