Hazardous Conditions and Unsafe Behaviors
During the job development process, focus primarily on identifying hazardous conditions and unsafe behaviors.
This work is highly hazardous!
Remember, it takes a hazard and exposure to the hazard before an accident can occur. It makes sense to look for hazards and job steps with unsafe behaviors that create exposure. Sources to help identify hazardous conditions and unsafe behaviors include:
- Safety Data Sheets (SDSs)
- Experienced workers
- Accident and incident reports
- First aid statistical records
- Behavior Based Safety (BBS) reports
- Safety committee meeting minutes
- Safety inspection reports
- Previous JHAs
- Existing work procedures
- Equipment manuals
- Preventive/corrective maintenance records
