11. • A JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS IS A
TECHNIQUE THAT FOCUSES ON JOB
TASKS AS A WAY TO IDENTIFY HAZARDS
BEFORE THEY OCCUR. IT FOCUSES ON
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
WORKER, THE TASK, THE TOOLS, AND
THE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

12. Task Step Hazards Required Safe Practices
Start Forklift Equipment failure Inspect equipment prior to use
Drive to pick-
up location
Strike pedestrian, overturn forklift Go Slow, Look before moving, sound
horn, wear seatbelt
Retrieve Load Overturn forklift, drop load Do not overload, do not turn while lifting,
move only stable loads, fully seat load on
forks
Take Load to
Destination
Overturn lift, strike a pedestrian,
drop load, property damage
Drive in reverse if view is obstructed, go
sow, sound horn, use mirrors at
intersections, only carry stable loads
Place load in
racks
Overturn lift, damage to racks,
dropped load
Do not turn while lifting load. Verify
clearance to avoid striking rack structure,
verify load capacity of lift and racks
