CONDUCTING THE JHA
Step 2 – Observe the Job and List the Steps
Now that you’ve got an idea which jobs to analyze, you need to come up with a way
to observe the job so that you can develop a list of steps. Each step in a task actually
describes an event.
Once the step is clearly understood, we can then analyze that step
for hazardous conditions and/or unsafe behaviors. Developing the steps for a job is
critical in the analysis process to improve the job and safety programs.
What are some ways to observe and record job steps?

What is a "step"?
Each step describes an ______________: what the worker does in each step.
Tips on conducting the JHA
• Be sure to record enough information to describe each job action without getting
overly detailed.
• Avoid long, overly detailed breakdown of steps.
• Do not combine steps (look for "and" in the step).
• Get input from other workers who have performed the same job.
• Review the steps with workers to make sure you have not omitted something.
• Point out that you are evaluating the task, not the worker’s job performance.
• Include the employee in all phases of the analysis, from reviewing the job steps
and procedures to discussing uncontrolled hazards and recommended solutions.
• It may be helpful to photograph or videotape the worker performing the job.
