Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)

Job Hazard Analysis is a vital part of task planning and identifying any hazards that may

exist in the job or task you are getting ready to perform. JHA’s are an important part of

a good health & safety program. When taking the time to assess the task you are about

to perform and identifying areas of that procedure that have the potential to cause

serious injury or death, it allows controls or procedures to be implemented to prevent

any incidents from occurring.

The company has made it mandatory for employees to conduct a JHA and document

the findings prior to performing a task that falls under the following conditions.

• A task that is outside the scope of everyday operations.

• Performing an unfamiliar job or task.

• Setup/Teardown of an asphalt plant, CTB plant or crusher.

• Moving (mobbing) an asphalt plant, CTB plant or crusher.

A JHA must be conducted by all employees that are involved in that task. The following

is a step by step procedure for conducting a JHA.

• When multiple employees are involved in a JHA, the finding of the JHA is

documented on the hazard assessment form.

• The areas that have been identified as potential hazardous areas shall be

discussed.

• Controls or procedures must be put in place before performing the task.

• Document the control measures or corrective action on the reverse side of the

JHA form.

• Discuss and review any findings or corrective measures to be implemented with

everyone that is involved in the task. These procedures must be followed to

minimize the potential for an incident occurring.

• All of the employees involved in the JHA must sign the form(s).

• The JHA form must be turned into the supervisor and sent to the main office.

Steps of a JHA:

1. Break the job into logical steps.

2. Identify each hazard in each of the steps.

3. Develop measures to reduce or eliminate risk for each of the hazards identified.

4. Review and update periodically.
