The document provides guidance on conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) to identify potential hazards for jobs. It describes how to break jobs down into sequential steps, identify potential accidents or hazards for each step, and recommend safe behaviors to eliminate or reduce hazards. The JHA process helps management improve job safety, efficiency and training programs. Jobs that are good candidates for analysis include those with high accident rates, potential for serious injury, or that are new or have changed.
This is the brief manual for Risk Assessments (HIRA – Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) to guide through significant and benefits of HIRA. This is an important step to ensure OSHA compliance. It helps in identification of risks and creation of exercises, training programs, and plans based on the most likely scenarios.
Occupational health and safety management systems are used to identify hazards and manage risk. These tools are effective when used correctly to reduce liability, reduce operating cost, improve morale and corporate culture, worker job satisfaction, increase productivity and profitability, sustainable business development and projections for expansion, reduce financial risk, and improvement on company brand, reputation, and image.

One the most important problem in the chemical, oil&gas or nuclear Industry is the Risk Assessment evaluation. In the theoretical studies, the part of risk analysis is sometimes not considered because the case of study is not real or it hasn't been still industrialized. In the real industry there are different processes for industrializing a product. The HAZOP technique is one example of Risk assessment tecniques.

Development of an Acid Scrubber for Reducing Ammonia Emissions from Animal Re...LPE Learning Center
Proceedings available at: http://www.extension.org/67663
Recent research has shown that over half of nitrogen excreted by chickens is lost into the atmosphere via ammonia volatilization before the litter is removed from poultry houses. Large quantities of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are also emitted from animal rearing facilities. During the past decade we have developed and patented an acid scrubber for capturing ammonia, VOCs and dust from air exhausted from poultry and swine barns. The objectives of this project were; (1) to re-design the scrubber to improve the ammonia removal efficacy, (2) conduct full-scale testing of the scrubber under controlled conditions at various ventilation rates, (3) evaluate the cost, practicality and efficacy of various acids for scrubbing ammonia, and (4) install scrubbers on exhaust fans of poultry houses located in Virginia and Arkansas and measure the efficiency of ammonia removal from the exhaust air. The efficiency of ammonia removal by the scrubber varied from 55-95%, depending on the type of acid used, air flow rate, and the internal scrubber configuration. This technology could potentially result in the capture of a large fraction of the N lost from AFOs, while simultaneously reducing emissions of bacteria, dust, and odors, which would improve the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of poultry and swine production.
According to OSHA statistics, workers who operate machinery suffer approximately 18,000 amputations, lacerations, crushing injuries, abrasions and more than 800 deaths per year. This presentation details OSHA/ANSI regulations and steps to prevent injuries and deaths.
This presentation contains some powerful time management tips that, if followed, has an immediate impact of productivity. Effective time management can only be achieved by prioritization that is the focus of our time management training.
Dengue, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. It infects between 50 million and 100 million people annually, with 500,000 cases of the more severe infection known as dengue hemorrhagic fever. It causes 22,000 deaths every year, mainly children and young adults.

In the present world of high Risk and unknown threats it is necessary for Security Manager to look for all Risk related to the site. His prime responsibility is to view the threat in all perspective and ensure preventive measure are in place with continual improvement. He should follow the PDCA cycle i.e.Plan ,do ,Check and Act on regular basis. The team should consult and discuss the total risk on regular interval with discussion on all issues related to security.this will ensure proper system in place to cater total security to personnel.
Discuss the sub elements of worksite hazard analysis
Identify typical hazards in the workplace
Review various techniques that can be used to identify hazards in the workplace
A Risk Assessment is simply a careful examination of whatever, in your work or workplace, could cause harm to people, so that you can determine what precautions or controls are necessary to prevent harm.
The following are a list of questions designed to specifically identify the most common causal factors of accidents or near-miss incidents in the general workplace. Each represents a controllable exposure employers should consider in their efforts to provide a safe and healthy work environment for their employees. Corrective actions should be implemented to prevent future reoccurrences of claims.
2. Definition
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a procedure for
identifying hazards associated with each step of a
job. It aids in developing solutions to the removal
or control of each exposure to a hazard.
3. Objective
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is an important
method of identifying hazards and safety concerns
prior to their actually resulting in accidents.
4. BenefitsA JHA helps management to identify unsafe and
inefficient steps in work processes and often leads to
improvements in the safety of the total job while
improving efficiency. A JHA forces management to
make a judgment as to:
5. Benefits
(Cont.)
Better work planning may result from completion of
a thorough JHA.
Supervisors develop a stronger understanding of the
jobs which they supervise.
Policies and procedures are often improved after
doing a JHA.
6. Selecting a Job to
Analyze
Jobs which are good candidates for a JHA would include job
which:
Have a high frequency of accidents.
Have resulted in a disabling injury.
Have the potential for causing serious injury.
Are new or have undergone significant changes in procedures
or equipments.
Are done seasonally or infrequently, but may have a potential
for causing severe injury.
7. What to do after the
JHA
Whenever there is an accident involving a job that
has had a Job Hazard Analysis done on it, the JHA
should be reviewed to determine whether or not it
needs to be revised.
If an accident occurs as a result of not following
procedures developed by the JHA, the facts should
be discussed with the workers who do the job. It
should be pointed out that following the JHA would
have prevented the accident.
8. What to do after the
JHA (Cont.) The JHA should be used as starting and focal points around
which to build a training program.
On-the-job training must follow the guidelines spelled out in
the JHA.
Supervisors should use JHA as subjects for both planned and
unplanned safety contacts (talks) with the workers.
9. `
What to do after the JHA
(Cont.)
Workers should be observed in order to identify behavior that
is out of line with procedures as listed in the JHA.
Non-conforming, unsafe behavior should be corrected.
Non-conforming behavior that appears to be an improvement
on the JHA work practice should be evaluated and incorporated
into a revised JHA.
10. Job Hazard Analysis
GuideSequence of Basic Job Steps
Break the job down into steps -- what is done first, second, third, ...
We can do this by:
1. Observing the job.
2. Discussing it with the supervisor and/or the worker performing the
job or task.
3. Drawing upon our knowledge of the job.
4. A combination of these approaches.
Record the job steps in their normal order.
Describe what is done, not the details of how it is done.
Three- or four-word descriptions should be enough.
11. Job Hazard Analysis Guide
(Cont.)
Potential Accidents or Hazards
For each job step, ask what accidents could happen to the
person doing the job step. We can do this by:
1. Observing the job.
2. Talking to the worker.
3. Studying reports of past accidents.
4. Consulting with subject experts.
5. Or a combination of these approaches.
12. Job Hazard Analysis Guide
(Cont.)
Ask the following questions; Can the worker:
1. Be struck by or against anything?
2. Be caught in, on or between anything?
3. Fall?
4. Strain or over-exert?
5. Be exposed to injurious chemicals, radiation, or
substances?
6. Be exposed to hazardous energy sources?
13. Job Hazard Analysis Guide
(Cont.) For each potential hazard or accident cause, ask how the worker could
avoid the hazard or how it might be eliminated or reduced.
1. Observe the job for possible changes to be made,
2. Discuss possible precautions or changes with the worker,
3. Draw upon our own knowledge and experience of the task or
potential hazards.
4. Any combination of the above.
Use "action verbs." Do not use general, non-descript statements. Be
concise, yet complete. Recommendations should be numbered the same as
the hazards they address.
14. Recommended Safe
Behavior
1.Never use tools or work with equipment that you are not knowledgeable of
or have not been trained to use.
2. Always use proper lockout and tag out procedures to prevent unexpected
movement or operation of equipment being repaired, unclogged, or setup.
3. Shut off equipment before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or oiling it. Use
Lockout and Tag out procedures for potentially hazardous activities.
4. Always follow warning signs, labels, tags, signals, etc. Speak up if you see
someone working in a potentially unsafe manner -- look out for each other.
5.Do not walk, run, or drive equipment too fast for the surrounding conditions,
work force present, weather conditions, etc.
15. Recommended Safe Behavior
(Cont.)6. Pass materials or tools to each other, do not throw or toss them. This is
important especially for heavy, sharp or awkwardly shaped objects.
7. Avoid jumping from elevations such as ladders, platforms, steps, truck
beds, etc. or between surface levels. Use stairs, steps, ladders, etc. to safely
lower yourself.
8. NEVER remove, inactivate, or in anyway tamper with safety guards,
interlocks, or other safety devices. They are there to protect you.
9. Report damaged or defective safety devices immediately for repair.
10. Never knowingly use damaged or defective equipment. Report or turn in
such equipment for repair or replacement
