CSMS and Worksite Analysis
Plan for Worksite Analysis
Worksite Analysis is a combination of systematic actions to provide you with the information you need to recognize and understand the hazards and potential hazards of your workplace.
Worksite Analysis
When planning for a construction worksite analysis, be sure to conduct comprehensive worksite surveys to establish safety and health hazard inventories and update them periodically as changes occur. Analyze planned and new facilities, processes, materials, and equipment; and perform routine hazard analysis of jobs, processes and/or varied phases of work, as needed.
In this module, we'll discuss four basic, yet very important processes:
- a comprehensive baseline survey
- change analysis
- job hazard analyses (JHAs)
- periodic and daily safety inspections
Other important activities to perform when conducting worksite analysis include:
- Employee reports of hazards, accidents, and near-misses.
- Accident/incident investigations.
- Injury and illness trend analysis
