Matching Training To Employees
Employers must provide all relevant information and instruction to employees. However, the resources for such an effort may not be, available.
Thus, employers are often faced with the problem of deciding who is in the greatest need of information and instruction.
One way to differentiate between employees who have priority needs for training and those who do not is to identify employee populations which are at higher levels of risk. The nature of the work will provide an indication that such groups should receive priority for information on occupational safety and health risks.
The Job Hazard Analysis
The Job Hazard Analysis, also called a Job Safety Analysis, is a procedure for studying and recording each step of a job, identifying existing or potential hazards, and determining the best way to perform the job in order to reduce or eliminate the risks. Information obtained from the JHA is used to develop Safe Job Procedures (SJP) which can be used as an excellent training resource when teaching employees how to properly perform hazardous procedures. For more information in developing an effective JHA, take OSHAcademy course 706 Conducting a Job Hazard Analysis.
