Hiring a Professional to Conduct JHA
If your employees are involved in many different or complex processes, you may need professional help conducting your job hazard analyses.
Sources of help include your insurance company, the local fire department, and private consultants with safety and health expertise. Some state OSHA agencies may offer assistance through consultation services.
Even when you receive outside help, it is important that you and your employees remain involved in the process of identifying and correcting hazards because you are on the worksite every day and most likely to encounter these hazards. New circumstances and a recombination of existing circumstances may cause old hazards to reappear and new hazards to appear. In addition, you and your employees must be ready and able to implement whatever hazard elimination or control measures a professional consultant recommends.
