3 Facts About Job Hazard Analysis(JHA)



1. A job hazard analysis (JHA) can reduce worker injury

A job hazard analysis (JHA), also known as a job safety analysis (JSA), is a method for identifying the hazards of certain operations in order to reduce the risk of worker injury.

You can lessen or eliminate hazards once you know what they are before anyone gets hurt. The JHA can also be used to investigate incidents and instruct staff in safe work practices.

Doing your JHAs will take some time, but it will be time well spent. Employees should be involved in the process since they do the work and are frequently the best experts on how to operate more safely.

2. Job hazard analysis can save money

Workplaces, for example, may save money on liability insurance by taking the right steps to enhance employee safety. A commitment to workplace safety, on the other hand, may minimize the number of workers' compensation awards.

3. Job Hazard Analysis can save the day and most importantly, a life

When done correctly, a JHA can assist in promptly identifying dangers within a specific operation and improving safety. This is typically far more beneficial than searching the entire facility for dangers. It's a more targeted strategy that can often rescue the day, and, more crucially, a life.
