Job Hazard Analysis

 

Introduction

1

Job-related injuries and fatalities occur every day in the workplace.. These injuries often workplace often occur because because employees employees are not trained in the proper job procedure. One way to prevent workplace injuries is to establish proper  job procedures procedures and train all employees employees in safer and more efficient work methods. Establis Establishing hing proper job procedures is one of the benefits of conducting a job hazard analysis— carefully studying and recording each step of a job, identifying existing or potential job hazards (both safety and health), and determining the best way to perform the job or to reduce or eliminate these hazards. Improved job methods methods can reduce reduce costs resulting from employee absenteeism and workers’ compensation, and can often lead to increased productivity. This booklet explains what a job hazard analysis is and contains guidelines for conducting your own step-by-step analysis. A sample of a completed job hazard analysis analysis and a blank job hazard analysis form are included at the back of this booklet. It is important to note that the job procedures in this booklet are for illustration only and do not necessarily include all steps, hazards, or protection protectionss for similar jobs in industry. In addition, standards issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) should be referred to as part of your overall ov erall job hazard hazard analysis. There are OSHA OSHA standards that apply to most job operations and also emphasize job hazard analysis.. Compliance with OSHA standards is mandatory. analysis Employers in any of the 25 states that operate their own OSHA-approved safety and health programs should check with their state agency, which may be enforcing standards that differ somewhat from from the federal. For more information, see the “State Programs” section in the “Other Sources of OSHA Assistance” portion of this publication.

Although this booklet is designed for use by foremen and supervisors, employees also are encouraged to use the information contained in this booklet to analyze their own jobs, be aware of workplace hazards, and report any hazardous conditions to their supervisors. For additional information on job hazard analysis and job safety and health programs, see the list of publications at the end of this booklet.

•Is the worker wearing personal protective clothing and equipment, including safety harnesses that are appropriate for the  job? Job Hazard Analysis

 

Selecting Jobs for Analysis

3

A job hazard analysis can be performed for all jobs in the workplace, whether the job task is “special” (non-routine) or routine. Even one-step one-step jobs—such jobs—such as those in which only a button is pressed—can and perhaps should be analyzed by evaluating surrounding work conditions. To determine which jobs should be analyzed first, review your job injury and illness reports. reports . Obviously Obviously,, a job hazard analysis should be conducted first for jobs with the highest rates of disabling disabling injuries and illnesses. Also, jobs where where “close calls” or “near misses” have occurred should be given priority. Analyses of new jobs and jobs where changes have been made in processes and procedures should follow. follow. Eventually, a job hazard analysis should be conducted and made available to employees for all jobs in the workplace.

• Are wo work rk positions positions,, machinery, pits or holes, and hazardous operations adequately guarded?

Involving the Employee

Once you have selected a job for analysis, discuss the procedure with the employee performing the job and explain its purpose. purpose. Point out that that you are studying studying the job job itself, not checking on the employee’s job performance. Involve the employee in all phases of the analysis—from reviewing the job steps and procedures to discussing potential hazards and recommended solutions. You also should talk to other workers who have performed the same  job.

• Are lockout procedures used for machinery deactivation during maintenance procedures?

Before actually beginning the job hazard analysis, take a look at the general conditions under which the job is performed and develop develop a checklist. checklist. Below are some sample questions you might ask. • Are there mate materials rials on the the floor floor that coul could d trip trip a work worker? er? • Is li ligh ghti ting ng ad adeq equa uate te?? • Are ther theree any liv livee electr electrica icall hazard hazardss at the the jobsit jobsite? e? • Are there any chem chemical, ical, phys physical, ical, biol biologica ogical, l, or or radiat radiation ion hazards associated with the job or likely to develop? • Are tools tools—in —inclu cludin ding g hand hand tools, tools, machi machines nes,, and equip equip-ment—in need of repair? • Is there there exce excessi ssive ve noise noise in in the work work area area,, hinder hindering ing worker communication or causing hearing loss? • Are job job proc procedu edures res know known n and are they they foll followe owed d or modified? • Are eme emerg rgenc ency y exit exitss clea clearly rly mar marke ked? d? • Are truck truckss or moto motorized rized vehi vehicles cles prop properly erly equi equipped pped with brakes, overhead guards, backup signals, horns, steering gear, and identification, as necessary? • Are all all emplo employee yeess operat operating ing vehi vehicle cless and equi equipme pment nt properly trained and authorized? • Are empl employ oyees ees weari wearing ng prope properr person personal al prote protecti ctive ve equipment for the jobs they are performing? • Have any emplo employees yees comp complaine lained d of of heada headaches, ches, brea breathing thing problems, dizziness, or strong odors? • Is ventil ventilation ation adeq adequate, uate, espec especially ially in confi confined ned or enclo enclosed sed spaces? • Hav Havee tests tests been been made made for for oxyg oxygen en defic deficien iency cy and and toxic toxic fumes in confined spaces before entry? • Are work statio stations ns and and tools tools design designed ed to prev prevent ent back and wrist injuries? • Are emplo employees yees train trained ed in the even eventt of a fire, fire, explosi explosion, on, or toxic gas release?

Naturally this list is by no means complete because each worksite has its own requirements and environmental conditions. You should add your own own questions to the list. You also might take photographs of the workplace, if appropriate, for use in making a more detailed analysis of the work  environment.

• Is the worker wearing clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the machinery or otherwise cause a hazard?

Breaking Down the Job

7

Nearly every job can be broken down into job tasks or steps. In the first part of the job hazard analysis, list each step of the  job in order of occurrence occurrence as you watch the employee performperforming the job. Be sure to record enough information to describe each job action, but do not make the breakdown too detailed detailed.. Later, go over the job steps with the employee. Figure 1 shows a worker performing the basic job steps for grinding iron castings.

Identifying Hazards

After you have recorded the job steps, next examine each step to determine the hazards that exist or that might occur. Ask yourself these kinds of questions. • Is the the work worker er weari wearing ng perso personal nal prot protectiv ectivee clothin clothing g and and equipment, including safety harnesses that are appropriate for the job? • Are wor work k positio positions, ns, machi machinery nery,, pits pits or holes holes,, and and hazard hazard-ous operations adequately guarded? • Are lock lockout out proc procedur edures es used used for mach machiner inery y deacti deactivatio vation n during maintenance procedures? • Is the the worker worker weari wearing ng cloth clothing ing or jewelr jewelry y that that could could get caught in the machinery or otherwise cause a hazard? • Are fixed fix ededges? objectss that object that may cause injur injury y, such such as sharpthere machine • Is the the flow flow of work impr improper operly ly org organize anized d (e.g., (e.g., Is the the worker required to make movements that are too rapid)? • Can the work worker er get get caught caught in in or betw between een mach machine ine part parts? s? • Can the work worker er be inju injured red by by reachi reaching ng over over movi moving ng machinery parts or materials? • Is the the work worker er at at any any time time in in an of off-ba f-balance lance posit position? ion? • Is the the worker worker posi positio tioned ned to to the the machin machinee in a way way that that is potentially dangerous? • Is the the worker worker requ required ired to make make move movement mentss that that could could lead to or cause hand or foot injuries, or strain from lifting— the hazards of repetitive motions? • Can the work worker er be stru struck ck by by an obje object ct or lean lean agai against nst or or strike a machine part or object? • Can the wor worker ker fal falll from from one one leve levell to anot another her?? • Can the work worker er be be injured injured from lifti lifting ng or or pulling pulling obje objects, cts, or from carrying heavy objects? • Do enviro environme nmenta ntall hazards— hazards—du dust, st, chemic chemicals als,, radiatio radiation, n, welding rays, heat, or excessive noise—result from the performance of the job?

10 Recommending Safe Procedures and Protection

After you have listed each hazard or potential hazard and have reviewed them with the employee performing the job, determine whether the job could be performed in another way to eliminate the hazards, such as combining steps or changing the sequence, or whether safety equipment and precautions are needed to control control the hazards. An alternative alternative or additional additional procedure is to videotape the worker performing his or her job and analyze the job procedures. If safer and better job steps can be used, list each new step, such as describing a new method for disposing of material. List exactly what the worker needs to know to perform the job using a new method. method. Do not make general general statements about the procedure, such as “Be Careful.” Be as specific as you can in your recommendations. You may wish to set up a training program using the job hazard analysis to retrain your employees in the new procedures, especially if they are working with highly toxic substances or in hazardous hazardous situations. (Some OSHA standards require that formal training programs be established for employees.) If no new procedure can be developed, determine whether any physical changes—such as redesigning equipment, changing tools, adding machine guards, personal protective equipment, or ventilation—will eliminate or reduce the danger. If hazards are still present, try to reduce the necessity for performing the job or the frequency of performing it. Go over the recommendations with all employees performing the job. Their ideas about the hazards and proposed recommendations may may be valuable. Be sure that they understand what they are required to do and the reasons for the changes in the job procedures.

Revising the Job Hazard Analysis

A job hazard analysis can do much toward reducing accidents and injuries in the workplace, but it is only effective if it is revie reviewed wedin and updated periodicall periodically y. missed Even ifin noanchanges been made a job, hazards that were earlier have analysis could be detected. If an illness or injury occurs on a specific job, the job hazard analysis should be reviewed immediately to determine whether changes are needed needed in the job procedure. procedure. In addition, if a “close call” or “near miss” has resulted from an employee’s failure to follow job procedures, this should be discussed with all employees performing the job. Any time a job hazard analysis is revised, training in the new  job methods, procedures, procedures, or protective measures should be provided to all employees affected affected by the changes. A job hazard analysis also can be used to train effectively new employees on the steps and job hazards. To show how a job hazard analysis form is prepared, a sample worksheet for cleaning the inside of a chemical mix tank is given given below below. Both safety and health hazards are noted, as well as recommendations for safer methods and protection.

Process Hazard Analysis

On July 17, 1990, OSHA issued a proposed rule for the management of hazards associated with processes using highly hazardous chemicals. chemicals. The agency agency finalized finalized this rule, rule, called the Process Safety Management  Standard,  Standard, on February 24, 1992. In an appendix to the proposed rule, OSHA discussed several methods of of process hazard analysis. analysis. That discussion, discussion, which may be helpful for those doing job hazard analyses, follows: What if . For relatively relatively uncomplicated uncomplicated processes, review review the process from raw raw materials to product. product. At each handling handling or processing step, “what if” questions are formulated and answered, to evaluate the effects of component failures or procedural errors on the process. Checklist . For more complex processes, processes, the “what if” study

can be best organized through the use of a “checklist,” and assigning certain aspects of the process to the committee members having the greatest experience or skill in evaluating those aspects. Operator practices and job knowledge are audited in the field, the suitability of equipment and materials of  construction is studied, the chemistry of the process and the control systems are reviewed, and the operating and maintenance records are audited. General Generally ly,, a checklis checklistt evaluation evaluation of  a process precedes use of the more sophisticated methods described below, unless the process hastobeen operated for many years and has been subjected periodic and safely thorough safety inspections and audits. What-if/Checklist . The what-if/checklist is a broadly-based hazard assessment technique that combines the creative thinking of a selected team of specialists with the methodical focus of a prepared checklist. The result is a comprehensi comprehensive ve hazard hazard analysis that is extremely useful in training operating personnel on the hazards of the particular operation. The review team is selected to represent a wide range of  disciplines—produ disciplines—production, ction, mechanical, technical, and safety.. the safety Each person is given a basic information package regarding Process Hazard Analysis

The review team methodically examines the operation from receipt of raw materials to delivery of the finished product to the customer’s site. At each step, the group collect collectively ively generates a listing of “what-if” questions regarding the hazards and safety of the operation. When the review team has completed listing its spontaneously s pontaneously generated questions, questions, it systematically goes through a prepared checklist to stimulate additional questions. Subsequently, the review team develops answers for each question. They then work to achieve a consensus of each question and answer. answer. From these answers, a listing of recommendations is developed specifying the need for additional action or study. study. The recommendations, recommendations, along with the list of  questions and answers, become the key elements of the hazard assessment report.  Hazard  Hazar d and Operability Operability Study (HAZOP) (HAZOP). HAZOP is a formally structured method of systematically investigating each element of acan system forfrom all ofthe theintended ways in which parameters deviate design important conditions to create hazards hazards and operability problems. The hazard and operability problems are typically determined by a study of the piping and instrument diagrams (or plant model) by a team of  personnel who critically analyze effects of potential problems arising in each pipeline and each vessel of the operation. Pertinent parameters are selected—for example, flow, temperature, pressure, pressure, and time. Then the effect effect of deviations deviations from design conditions conditions of each each parameter is examined. A list of key words—for example, “more of,” “less of,” “part of”— are selected for use in describing each potential deviation.

Typical examples examples are instrument transmitters, transmitters , controllers, valves, valves, pumps, pumps, and rotometers. rotometers. These components components are listed on a data tabulation sheet and individually analyzed for the following: • Pote Potential ntial mode of failur failuree ( i.e., open open,, closed, closed, on, of off, f, leaks). • Cons Conseque equence nce of the the failur failure; e; effect effect on other other comp componen onents ts and effects on whole system. • Haz Hazard ard cla class ss (i.e (i.e,, high high,, moder moderate ate,, low). low). • Pr Prob obab abil ilit ity y of of fai failu lure re.. • De Dete tect ctio ion n met meth hods ds.. • Co Comp mpen ensa sati ting ng pr prov ovis isio ion/ n/re rema mark rks. s.

Fault Tree Analysis.

Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines Effective management of worker safety and health protection is a decisive factor in reducing the extent and severity of workrelated injuries and and illnesses and their related costs. costs. To assist employers and employees in developing effective safety and health programs, OSHA published recommended Safety and   Health Program Program Management Guidelines ( Federal Register  54(18):3908-3916, 54(18):3908-3 916, January 26, 1989). These voluntary guidelines apply to all places of employment covered by OSHA. The guidelines identify four general elements that are critical to the development of a successful safety and health management program: • management commitment and employee involvement, • worksite analysis, • hazard prevention and control, and • safety and health training. The guidelines recommend specific actions under each of  these general elements to achieve an effective safety and health program. A single free copy of the the guidelines can be obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA Publications, P.O.

State Programs The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 encourages states to develop and operate their own job safety and health plans. States with plans plans approved approved under section 18(b) 18(b) of the OSH Act must adopt standards and enforce requirements that are at least as effectiv effectivee as federal requirements. requirements. There are currently 25 state plan states: 23 of these states administer plans both private and local ment)covering employees; the other and two public states, (state Connecticut andgovernNew Job Hazard Analysis

Until such time as a state standard is promulgated, Federal OSHA provides interim enforcement assistance, as appropriate, appropriate, in these states. A listing of approved state plans appears at the end of this publication.

Consultation Services Consultation assistance is available on request to employers who want help in establishing and maintaining a safe and healthful workplace. workplace. Largely funded by OSHA, the service is provided at no cost to the employer. Primaril Primarily y developed developed for smaller employers with more hazardous operations, the consultation service is delivered by state government agencies or universities employing professional safety consultants and health consultants. Comprehen Comprehensive sive assistance assistance includes includes an appraisal of all work practices and environmental hazards of  the workplace and all aspects of the employer’s present job safety and health program. The program is separate from OSHA’s inspection efforts. No penalties are proposed or citations issued for any safety or health problems problems identified identified by the the consultant.
