Rosie's answer
Published by SALUSA Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), also known as a process hazard analysis, is a systematic approach to identify and evaluate potential hazards associated with a specific job or task 12, 1, 3, 8. The goal is to implement controls to eliminate or minimize these hazards, preventing accidents and injuries [1]. Here's what a JHA form typically involves:
- Core Task Definition: Clearly define the scope of work being analyzed [2].
- Hazard Identification: Identify potential hazards associated with each step of the job. This includes [2]:
- Risk Assessment: Evaluate the level of risk for each identified hazard, considering the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of potential consequences [3].
- Control Measures: Determine and implement appropriate control measures to eliminate or mitigate each hazard. These can include 1, 3:
- Engineering controls 2, 13
- Administrative controls 2, 13
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) 2, 13
- Communication Procedures: Establish clear communication procedures for all crew members involved in the job [2].
- Emergency Action Plan: Develop a site-specific emergency action plan, including the location of first aid equipment and rescue gear [2].
- Regular Review: Update and revalidate the JHA regularly, especially after incidents or changes in the process 1, 3, 7, 8.
To ensure a comprehensive JHA, consider the following methodologies 1, 3, 8:
- What-If analysis 1, 3, 8
- Checklist 1, 3, 8
- Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) 1, 3, 8
- Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) 1, 3, 8
- Fault Tree Analysis 1, 3, 8
Remember to involve workers in the hazard assessment and control process [1].

Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division Oregon Administrative Rules AO 2-2017 Division 2 - (A) Define the core tasks. - (B) Identify specific hazards. - (C) Identify mission specific tasks. - (D) Describe procedures or controls used to safely manage or mitigate the hazards. - (E) Describe the communication procedure to be used with the crew. - (F) Discuss fatigue, and methods to eliminate or mitigate it. - (G) Specify Minimum Approach Distances (MAD). - (H) Describe a site specific emergency action plan. - (b) A site specific job briefing must be held each day construction, maintenance, or lifting activities using a helicopter are performed. - The daily job briefing at a minimum must: - (A) Summarize or recap the content of the JHA as applicable to the day's duties. - (B) Communicate any site specific hazards not identified in the JHA and provide mitigation for those hazards. - (C) Identify or establish roles for each person who will be interfacing with the aircraft or its loads. - (D) Describe the communication procedure to be used with the crew. - (E) Specify Minimum Approach Distances (MAD) from energized electrical lines and equipment in the work area. - (F) Describe the applicable sections of the site specific emergency action plan, such as the locations of first aid equipment and rescue gear. - (c) An additional job briefing must be held immediately if working conditions change during the course of a job. Working conditions would include weather, wind, and visibility. During the job briefing all affected employees and others, including signal persons, ground workers, pilots, must be advised of the hazards including a change of operation if needed. - (4) Sling and rigging.

## 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 …

Division 2 AO 2-2023 Oregon Administrative Rules Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division - (e) Sources of light radiation, i.e., welding, brazing, cutting, furnaces, heat treating, high intensity lights, etc; - (f) Sources of falling objects or potential for dropping objects; - (g) Sources of sharp objects which might pierce the feet or cut the hands; - (h) Sources of rolling or pinching objects which could crush the feet; - (i) Layout of workplace and location of co-workers; and - (j) Any electrical hazards. In addition, injury/accident data should be reviewed to help identify problem areas. - c. Organize data. Following the walk-through survey, it is necessary to organize the data and information for use in the assessment of hazards. The objective is to prepare for an analysis of the hazards in the environment to enable proper selection of protective equipment. - d. Analyze data. Having gathered and organized data on a workplace, an estimate of the potential for injuries should be made. Each of the basic hazards (paragraph 3.a) should be reviewed and a determination made as to the type, level of risk, and seriousness of potential injury from each of the hazards found in the area. The possibility of exposure to several hazards simultaneously should be considered. - 4. Selection guidelines. After completion of the procedures in paragraph 3, the general procedure for selection of protective equipment is to: a) Become familiar with the potential hazards and the type of protective equipment that is available, and what it can do; i.e., splash protection, impact protection, etc.; b) compare the hazards associated with the environment; i.e., impact velocities, masses, projectile shape, radiation intensities, with the capabilities of the available protective equipment; c) select the protective equipment which ensures a level of protection greater than the minimum required to protect employees from the hazards; and d) fit the user with the protective device and…
