in an injury or illness. Identifying hazards and eliminating ?
or controlling them as early as possible will help prevent

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
 A job hazard analysis is a technique that focuses on job tasks to identify
hazards before they occur. It focuses on the relationship between the worker,
the task, the tools, and the work environment. Ideally, after you identify
uncontrolled hazards, you will take steps to eliminate or reduce them to an
acceptable risk level. A JHA can be conducted on many jobs in your
workplace. Priority should go to the following types of jobs: Jobs with the
highest injury or illness rates; Jobs with the potential to cause severe or
disabling injuries or illnesses, even if there is no history of previous accidents;
Jobs in which one simple human error could lead to a severe accident or
injury; Jobs that are new to your operation or have undergone changes in
processes and procedures; and tasks complex enough to require written
instructions.

According to their Definitions:
 A hazard is something that can cause harm, e.g., electricity,
chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at
work, stress, etc.
 A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will cause
somebody harm.

 Elimination and substitution, while most effective at
reducing hazards, also tend to be the most difficult
to implement in an existing process. If the process is
still at the design or development stage, elimination

simple to implement. For an existing process, major Elimination

 Engineering controls are favored over administrative
and personal protective equipment (PPE) for
controlling existing worker exposures in the
workplace because they are designed to remove the
hazard at the source, before it comes in contact with
the worker. Well-designed engineering controls can Engineering

of engineering controls can be higher than the cost
