CONDUCTING THE JHA
Step 4 - Develop Preventive Measures
How do I correct or prevent hazards?
After reviewing your list of hazards with the employee, consider what control methods
will eliminate or reduce them. The most effective measures are engineering controls
that physically change a machine or work environment. The less likely a hazard
control can be circumvented, the better. If this is not feasible, management controls
may be appropriate. The JHA itself can be an effective management control.
Hazard Control strategies
There are four approaches used to eliminate or reduce hazards and exposures. They are as
follows:
1.
Engineering controls - Strategies to eliminate or reduce the hazard
primarily through equipment replacement, substitution, redesign, or other
engineering methods. If you can get rid of the hazards in a job, you may
not need to conduct the JHA!
2.
Management controls (Also called administrative or work practice
controls) – Strategies to eliminate or reduce exposure. You do this
primarily by changing work practices, procedures, and schedules.
Developing effective management controls is what the JHA is all about!
3.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – Using PPE is considered a
safe work practice and can be expected to be a part of most JHAs. PPE
establishes a barrier between the hazard and the worker. PPE is most
always used in conjunction with management and engineering controls.
4.
Interim (temporary) measures. Cones, guards, tape, etc., can all serve
to temporarily protect employees from hazards until permanent control
strategies can be used. You may need to temporarily protect employees
while working toward a permanent solution.
