Hazards
If hazards that pose an immediate danger to an employee's life or health exist, take immediate action to protect the worker.
6 Common Hazard Categories
Any problems that can be corrected easily should be corrected as soon as possible.
Behaviors
Some jobs may require potentially high-risk behaviors that should be identified in a JHA. High risk behaviors that might increase the probability and severity of an injury or illness include:
- Working at any elevation
- Lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and other manual handling operations
- Others working above or below the work area
- Use of bridge cranes, man lifts, or other heavy equipment
- Working on or near energized equipment/components
- Working alone or in isolated workplaces
- Operating vehicles (i.e. trucks, forklifts, etc.)
- Working within a confined space or under temperature extremes
