Discussion on
JHA or JSA
Activities/Obligations
Conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), also known as Job Safety Analysis (JSA), allows you to consider the risks faced by personnel in a particular job.
This will involve a review of:
- tasks undertaken,
- work areas entered,
- related risks, and
- chemicals involved or present.
Being able to present the personnel in each job with a concise report that summarises these is useful when discussing safe work practices.
Using The Software
With OSHatWork you can:
- for each person, keep employment records - including the job they are in,
- for each job, record:
- the work tasks performed, and
- the work areas typically entered;
- maintain a risk register and, for each risk, record:
- the work tasks affected by it, and
- the work areas affected by it;
- maintain a chemical register and, for each chemical, record:
- the work tasks in which it will typically be encountered,
- the work areas it is present in;
- for each job, produce a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) report that lists any one or more of the following:
- the personnel currently in the job;
- the work areas typically entered;
- the work tasks performed;
- the associated risks; and
- the chemicals typically encountered by personnel in the job;
- because you can choose which parts to include in the Job Hazard Analysis report you can leave out the list of personnel - so it then becomes a report that you can give to a person in that job;
- save any report to a pdf file;
- configure security options that determine what each user can do (what data they can view or edit).
