Assessment Date: \[DATE]
Assessor: \[ASSESSOR NAME]
Department/Area: \[DEPARTMENT/AREA]
Review Date: \[REVIEW DATE]
1\. Assessment Scope
This Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) covers all tasks associated with stacked work procedures in the elevator industry. This includes, but is not limited to, the assembly of elevator components in a stacked configuration, the installation of stacked elevator systems, and the maintenance and repair of existing stacked elevators. The scope encompasses all personnel involved in these activities, including elevator mechanics, technicians, and supervisors. Excluded from this JHA are tasks not directly related to stacked work, such as the installation of single elevators or general facility maintenance.
2\. Risk Assessment Methodology
This risk assessment employs a 5x5 risk matrix to evaluate the likelihood and severity of potential hazards. The methodology follows a systematic approach: 1\) Identify hazards associated with each step of the stacked work procedure. 2\) Assess the initial risk level based on the likelihood and severity of potential consequences. 3\) Implement control measures based on the hierarchy of controls (Elimination, Substitution, Engineering Controls, Administrative Controls, and PPE). 4\) Evaluate the residual risk level after implementing control measures. 5\) Continuously monitor and review the effectiveness of control measures, updating the JHA as needed.
3\. Risk Matrix Reference
The following matrix is used to evaluate risk levels based on likelihood and severity:
| Likelihood |
|---|
| Rare | Unlikely | Possible | Likely | Almost Certain | | Severity | Catastrophic | Low | Low | Medium | Medium | High | | Major | Low | Low | Medium | Medium | High | | Moderate | Low | Medium | Medium | High | Extreme | | Minor | Medium | Medium | High | Extreme | Extreme | | Negligible | Medium | High | High | Extreme | Extreme |

4\. Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) from lifting, pushing, or pulling heavy elevator components.
Potential Consequences: Strains, sprains, or back injuries.
Affected Persons: Workers
Initial Risk Assessment
| Likelihood | Severity | Risk Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Likely | Moderate | Medium |
Control Measures
- Provide ergonomic training on proper lifting techniques.
- Use mechanical aids (hoists, cranes) to lift heavy components.
- Implement a buddy system for lifting and moving heavy objects.
Residual Risk Assessment
| Likelihood | Severity | Risk Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Possible | Minor | Low |
5\. Exposure to dust, fumes, or chemicals during elevator installation or maintenance.
Potential Consequences: Respiratory irritation, allergic reactions, or long-term health effects.
Affected Persons: Workers
Initial Risk Assessment
| Likelihood | Severity | Risk Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Possible | Moderate | Medium |
Control Measures
- Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area.
- Use respiratory protection (e.g., respirators) when working with dust or fumes.
- Implement a hazard communication program for chemicals used in elevator work.
Residual Risk Assessment
| Likelihood | Severity | Risk Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Unlikely | Minor | Low |
5\. General Control Measures
- Conduct regular workplace inspections to identify and correct hazards.
Implement a system for reporting and tracking hazards identified during inspections. [1]
- Ensure all workers receive comprehensive training on safe work procedures, hazard identification, and control measures.
Maintain records of all training activities.
- Enforce strict adherence to lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance and repair activities.
Regularly audit lockout/tagout procedures to ensure compliance.
6\. Emergency Preparedness
- In the event of a fall from height, immediately activate the emergency response system and provide first aid.
- For electrical hazards, ensure the power is shut off and lockout/tagout procedures are followed before providing assistance.
- In case of a dropped object, clear the area and inspect for any damage to equipment or structures.
7\. Training Requirements
- Fall Protection Training: Workers must be trained on the proper use of fall protection equipment, including harnesses, lanyards, and lifelines.
- Lockout/Tagout Training: Workers must be trained on lockout/tagout procedures to prevent accidental energization of equipment.
- Ergonomics Training: Workers must be trained on proper lifting techniques to prevent musculoskeletal injuries.
8\. Monitoring and Review
Review Frequency: Annually, or after any incident or significant change in procedures
| Monitoring Type | Frequency | Responsible Party | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Inspection | Monthly | Safety Officer | Regularly inspect fall protection equipment (harnesses, lanyards) for damage or wear. |
| Performance Indicator | Quarterly | Occupational Hygienist | Monitor air quality in work areas where dust or fumes are present. |
| Audit | Annually | Safety Manager | Conduct periodic audits of lockout/tagout procedures to ensure compliance. |
9\. Special Circumstances
- Adverse weather conditions (e.g., high winds, rain) can increase the risk of falls from height.
- Night work can reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents.
- Lone work increases the time before assistance can arrive in the event of an incident.

# Effective Workplace Inspections (cont.) ## Are there other types of reports that may be useful? (cont.) Ongoing inspections: Supervisors and workers should conduct ongoing inspections as part of their job responsibilities. Such inspections identify hazardous or unusual operating conditions as they occur during the course of work. A hazard report may be generated to either correct the issue immediately or to request further corrective action. Hazard Reports about unsafe working conditions and hazards may be submitted directly or anonymously by workers, and by the health and safety committee or representative. Reports may include corrective action recommendations from the committee. Incident and investigation reports include a detailed inspection of the work area where the incident occurred and a root cause analysis. Being aware of how and why an incident occurred can help inspectors to identify the same hazard elsewhere. Incident trends can help to prioritize specific hazards, for example, if there have been several slip-trip-fall incidents or musculoskeletal (MSD) injuries in recent months. Inspection compliance orders and tickets (fines) may be given by inspection officers from the jurisdictional health and safety regulator, fire department, electrical authority, and other regulatory bodies. Inspection may occur at any time, for a targeted blitz, or in response to a reportable incident, fatality, or complaint. These legal orders must be complied with and receive immediate priority. Pre-operation checks are performed by workers at the beginning of their shift, before they begin to use the machine, vehicle, equipment, or process. Daily checks by users assure that the equipment meets minimum acceptable safety requirements. The frequency of these inspections varies with the amount and conditions of equipment use. Several pre-operation checklists may be completed each day by different workers. These checks are also done after workplace shutdowns, provided no mod…
