Job hazard analysis

Source excerpt

- 2. Proximity to the Hazard - The actual and/or potential proximity of the employees to a hazard shall be thoroughly documented, (i.e., photos, measurements, employee interviews). - 3. Observed Access - A. Employee exposure is established if CSHOs witness, observe, or monitor the proximity or access of an employee to the hazard or potentially hazardous condition. - B. The use of personal protective equipment may not, in itself, adequately prevent employee exposures to a hazardous condition. Such exposures may be cited where the applicable standard requires the additional use of engineering and/or administrative (including work practice) controls, or where the personal protective equipment used is inadequate. - 4. Unobserved Access - Where employee exposure is not observed, witnessed, or monitored by CSHOs, employee exposure may be established through witness statements or other evidence that exposure to a hazardous condition has occurred or may continue to occur. - A. Past Access - In fatality/catastrophe (or other 'accident/incident') investigations, prior employee exposure(s) may be established if CSHOs establish, through written statements or other evidence, that exposure(s) to a hazardous condition occurred at the time of the accident/incident. Additionally, prior exposures may serve as the basis for a violation when: - · The hazardous condition continues to exist, or it is reasonably predictable that the same or similar condition could recur; - · It is reasonably predictable that employee exposure to a hazardous condition could recur when: - o The employee exposure has occurred in the previous six months; - o The hazardous condition is an integral part of an employer's normal operations; and - o The employer has not established a policy or program to ensure that exposure to the hazardous condition will not recur. - B. Potential Access - Potential exposure to a hazardous condition may be established if there is evidence that employees have access to the hazard,…

## 29 CFR 1910 (OSHA) - (iv) The employer shall develop and implement safe work practices consistent with paragraph (f)(4) of this section, to control the entrance, presence and exit of contract employers and contract employees in covered process areas. - (v) The employer shall periodically evaluate the performance of contract employers in fulfilling their obligations as specified in paragraph (h)(3) of this section. - (vi) The employer shall maintain a contract employee injury and illness log related to the contractor's work in process areas. - (3) Contract employer responsibilities. (i) The contract employer shall assure that each contract employee is trained in the work practices necessary to safely perform his/her job. - (ii) The contract employer shall assure that each contract employee is instructed in the known potential fire, explosion, or toxic release hazards related to his/her job and the process, and the applicable provisions of the emergency action plan. - (iii) The contract employer shall document that each contract employee has received and understood the training required by this paragraph. The contract employer shall prepare a record which contains the identity of the contract employee, the date of training, and the means used to verify that the employee understood the training. - (iv) The contract employer shall assure that each contract employee follows the safety rules of the facility including the safe work practices required by paragraph (f)(4) of this section. - (v) The contract employer shall advise the employer of any unique hazards presented by the contract employer's work, or of any hazards found by the contract employer's work. - (i) Pre-startup safety review. (1) The employer shall perform a pre-startup safety review for new facilities and for modified facilities when the modification is significant enough to require a change in the process safety information. - (2) The pre-startup safety review shall confirm that prior to the introduct…

## 29 CFR 1910 (OSHA) - (6) At least every five (5) years after the completion of the initial process hazard analysis, the process hazard analysis shall be updated and revalidated by a team meeting the requirements in paragraph (e)(4) of this section, to assure that the process hazard analysis is consistent with the current process. - (7) Employers shall retain process hazards analyses and updates or revalidations for each process covered by this section, as well as the documented resolution of recommendations described in paragraph (e)(5) of this section for the life of the process. - (f) Operating procedures (1) The employer shall develop and implement written operating procedures that provide clear instructions for safely conducting activities involved in each covered process consistent with the process safety information and shall address at least the following elements. - (i) Steps for each operating phase: - (A) Initial startup; - (B) Normal operations; - (C) Temporary operations; - (D) Emergency shutdown including the conditions under which emergency shutdown is required, and the assignment of shutdown responsibility to qualified operators to ensure that emergency shutdown is executed in a safe and timely manner. - (E) Emergency Operations; - (F) Normal shutdown; and, - (G) Startup following a turnaround, or after an emergency shutdown. - (ii) Operating limits: - (A) Consequences of deviation; and - (B) Steps required to correct or avoid deviation. - (iii) Safety and health considerations: - (A) Properties of, and hazards presented by, the chemicals used in the process; - (B) Precautions necessary to prevent exposure, including engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment; - (C) Control measures to be taken if physical contact or airborne exposure occurs; - (D) Quality control for raw materials and control of hazardous chemical inventory levels; and, - (E) Any special or unique hazards.

## Part 2 ## Hazard Assessment, Elimination and Control ## Hazard assessment - 7 (1) An employer must assess a work site and identify existing and potential hazards before work begins at the work site or prior to the construction of a new work site. - 7 (2) An employer must prepare a report of the results of a hazard assessment and the methods used to control or eliminate the hazards identified. - 7 (3) An employer must ensure that the date on which the hazard assessment is prepared or revised is recorded on it. - 7 (4) An employer must ensure that the hazard assessment is repeated - (a) at reasonably practicable intervals to prevent the development of unsafe and unhealthy working conditions, - (b) when a new work process is introduced, - (c) when a work process or operation changes, or - (d) before the construction of significant additions or alterations to a work site. - 7 (5) Repealed. ## Worker participation - 8 (1) An employer must involve affected workers in the hazard assessment and in the control or elimination of the hazards identified. - 8 (2) Repealed. ## Hazard elimination and control - 9 (1) If an existing or potential hazard to workers is identified during a hazard assessment, an employer must take measures in accordance with this section to - (a) eliminate the hazard, or - (b) if elimination is not reasonably practicable, control the hazard. - 9 (2) If reasonably practicable, an employer must eliminate or control a hazard through the use of engineering controls. - 9 (3) If a hazard cannot be eliminated or controlled under subsection (2), the employer must use administrative controls that control the hazard to a level as low as reasonably achievable. - 9 (4) If the hazard cannot be eliminated or controlled under subsection (2) or (3), the employer must ensure that the appropriate personal protective equipment is used by workers affected by the hazard. - 9 (5) If the hazard cannot be eliminated or controlled under subsection (2), (3) or (4), the …
