Points to Remember
Write in a step-by-step format. Usually, this means writing a number of paragraphs.
A good SJP paints a word picture.
Each paragraph should attempt to :
- Describe the step. Remember each step is describing one action. For example, you might say, "Grasp the breaker switch and move it from the on to the off position (down)."
- Point out the hazard. If a step includes exposure to a hazard, there are four parts to the step:
- Describe the action.
- Identify the hazard.
- Describe the possible injury the hazard could cause.
- Identify the safety precaution to prevent the injury.
For instance, you would continue the warning by saying, "Grasp the breaker switch and move it from the on to the off position (down). To prevent a possible serious burn injury if an arc flash occurs, be sure you turn your head and look away as you flip the breaker switch."
