CONDUCTING THE JHA
Step 1 - Prepare to conduct the JHA
Conduct an initial job review
Discuss with your employees the jobs and related hazards they know exist in their current
work and surroundings. Ask them for ideas to eliminate or control those hazards.
Any problems that can be corrected easily should be corrected as soon as possible. Do not
wait to complete the JHA. This will demonstrate a commitment to safety and health and
enable you to focus on the hazards and jobs that need more study because of their
complexity.
Review your accident history
Review the history of accidents and illnesses that needed treatment, losses that required
repair or replacement, and any “near misses” (events in which an accident or loss did not
occur, but could have). These events may indicate existing hazard controls (if any) may
not be adequate and deserve more scrutiny.
What records and reports will you review?
