Introduction
If your company is working towards OSHA's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) or the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) certification, you need to be conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) on all hazardous tasks.
This course is designed to introduce the important steps in conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (also called Job Safety Analysis) for the purpose of writing a safe job procedure. The course will help you prepare and conduct each step of an effective Job Hazard Analysis.
The course includes a discussion of conducting a risk assessment, determining hazards, developing preventive measures and safety precautions, and tips on writing a safe job procedure. We'll also discuss why the JHA is a great training tool.
