Sanjit 'Bunker' Roy is an Indian social activist who founded the Barefoot College in 1972 to provide education and training to underserved communities. After earning a master's degree, he decided to devote himself to social service instead of pursuing a traditional career. Barefoot College has trained over 3 million people without formal education by using traditional expertise rather than academic learning. Roy's work has been recognized through several prestigious awards for his contributions to social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, and using technology for social good.
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a process to identify hazards associated with tasks, assess their potential effects, and devise control measures to eliminate or reduce risks. It involves defining the task, identifying hazards and threats, determining consequences, and documenting findings. Control measures aim to prevent hazards or mitigate consequences, such as eliminating hazards, substituting alternatives, adding barriers, training, or personal protective equipment. Recovery measures include plans to prevent escalation and enable a quick return to normal operations. Information from JHA can inform procedures, permits, training, and overall safety planning.
