Introduction
A very important part in the JHA development process is to discover the hazards lurking within each step.
Look for possible hazards in each step.
A basic safety concept must be understood by all safety staff: to have an accident, a hazard and exposure to the hazard must exist.
- A hazard is an unsafe condition that could cause injury or illness to an employee.
- Exposure usually refers to an employee's placement relative to the hazard's "danger zone." If the employee is within the danger zone, the employee is exposed.
