Involvement in Developing the JHA
A solid JHA improvement process will make good use of the experience and knowledge of:
- workers who have been using the JHA procedures,
- subject matter experts (SMEs) from various safety and health specialties, and
- OSHA consultants (they're free and confidential!).
Workers who perform the procedure being analyzed can provide the most valuable input because they have had actual experience completing the task. SMEs provide a level of involvement as experts in their field. They can effectively review the jobs and the hazards identified to determine the proper set of controls required.
Any time you revise a job hazard analysis, it is important to train all employees affected by the changes in the new job methods, procedures, or protective measures adopted.
