A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), also known as a Job Safety Analysis (JSA), is a systematic method for identifying hazards associated with specific job tasks. The process involves: (1) selecting a job to analyze (prioritizing those with high injury rates or severe hazard potential), (2) breaking the job into individual steps, (3) identifying hazards at each step (including struck-by, caught-in, fall, electrical, chemical, ergonomic, and environmental hazards), and (4) developing preventive measures using the hierarchy of controls (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE). OSHA publication 3071 provides detailed guidance. JHAs are integrated into pre-placement evaluations and fitness-for-duty assessments to match worker capabilities with job demands.
