Myjobhazardanalys is based on the book "Job Hazard Analysis"
Our intent for myjobhazardanalysis is to provide a web site that can assist you in developing and using the Job Hazard Analysis as the underlying foundation for your safety process. The follow quote is taken from the Amazon book description:
- "A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) identifies the basic job steps and tasks and their associated hazards and risks, and then develops safe operating procedures and hazard controls based on this analysis. In this book, James Roughton and Nathan Crutchfield argue that the JHA should be the centerpiece of any risk control and occupational safety and health program and a methodical analysis is required for the new American safety and health management standard ANSI/AIHA Z10. However, the traditional JHA has potential problems in gathering and analysis of task data and, with its focus on the sequence of steps, can miss the behavioral effects and the systems interactions between tools, equipment, materials, work environment, management and the individual worker. The authors present a new and improved concept for the JHA incorporating elements from Behavior-Based Safety and Six Sigma. They take the reader through the whole process of developing tools for identifying workplace hazards, developing systems that support hazard recognition, developing an effective JHA, and managing a JHA based program and fitting it into occupational safety and health management systems, allowing businesses to move from mere compliance to a pro-active safety management. The book is supported by numerous examples of JHAs, end of chapter review questions, sample checklists, action plans and forms.
- Enhances the JHA with concepts from Behavior- Related Safety and proven risk assessment strategies using Six Sigma tools
- Methodically develops the risk assessment basis needed for ANSI/AIHA Z10 and other safety and health management systems
- Includes numerous real-life examples, end of chapter review questions, sample checklists, action plans and forms"
Plan are for a a complete online solutions manual for instructors adopting the book in college and university occupational safety and health courses.
Myjobhazardanalysis will provide discussion and comment, videos and various tools for use in implementing techniques that we hope can improve the potential implementation of a JHA process, not just a one-off problem solving tool that is rarely used.
