Job Hazard Analysis


Job Hazard Analysis
Introduction
• Job hazard analysis is, carefully studying
and recording each step of a job, identifying
existing or potential job hazards (both
Safety and Health), and determining the
best way to perform the job to reduce or
eliminate these hazards.
Additional Benefits
Selecting Jobs for Analysis
• Review job injury and illness reports.
• Jobs with the highest rates of accidents and
injuries should be conducted first.
• New jobs and jobs where changes have
been made should follow.
• Eventually, a job hazard analysis should be
conducted for all jobs in the workplace.
Breaking Down the Job
• List each step of the job in order of
occurrence as you watch the employee
performing the job.
• Be sure to record enough information to
describe each job action.
• Later go over the job steps with the
employee.
Example
Worker Performing the Basic Job
Steps for Grinding Iron Casting
• Reach into metal
box to right of
machine, grasp
casting and carry to
wheel.
Step Two
• Push casting
against wheel to
grind off burr.
Step Three
• Place finished
casting in box to
left of machine.
Identifying Hazards
• Examine each step to determine hazards
that exist or that might occur.
• Ask yourself these kinds of questions:
• Is the worker wearing clothing or jewelry
that could get caught in the machinery?
• Are there fixed objects that may cause
injury, such as sharp machine edges?
Identifying Hazards
• Can the worker get caught in or between
machine parts?
• Is the worker positioned to the machine in a
way that is potentially dangerous?
• Can the worker be injured from lifting
objects, or from carrying heavy objects?
• Environmental hazards: dust, chemicals,
radiation, welding rays, heat, or excessive
noise result from the performance of the
job?
Identify the Hazards Within Each
Step
• Struck Against (sharp edges, protruding
objects, machinery, etc.)
• Struck By (any moving things)
• Contact with (electricity, chemical)
• Contacted By (hot solutions, fire, electrical
flashes, steam,
• Caught In (any part of the body be caught in
an enclosure or opening)
• Caught On (caught on any object which
could pull them into moving machinery.
• Caught Between (something moving and
stationery
• Exposure (noise, temp.,
Identifying Hazards
• Strike hand on edge of
metal box or casting.
• Cut hand on burr.
• Drop casting on toes.
Identifying Hazards
• Strike hand against
wheel.
• Flying sparks, dust, or
chips.
• Wheel breaking.
• Not enough of wheel
guarded.
• No dust removal system.
• Sleeves could get caught
in machinery.
Identifying Hazards
• Strike hand against
metal box or casting.
Evaluating The Hazards
• What events could lead to an injury or
illness for each hazard you identified.
Recommendations
• Recommendations should be based on the
reliability of the solution.
• Hierarchy of control:
• Elimination
• Substitution
• Isolation
• Engineering Control
• Administration Control
• PPE
New Procedure or Protection
• Provide gloves and
safety shoes
Step Two
• Provide larger guard
over wheel.
• Install local exhaust
system.
• Provide safety
goggles.
• Short or tight fitting
sleeves.
Step Three
• Provide for removal of
completed stock.
