Job Hazard Analysis

A component of the safety audit criteria requires McMaster to provide a documented job hazard analysis of main activities associated with each worker. A job hazard analysis is essential in clarifying the work to be done in conjunction with the hazards and controls that are associated with the activity. While reviewing a list of the main activities involved with each job, common hazards are identified. If a hazard cannot be eliminated it needs to be minimized before the job is performed. Hazards can be minimized by implementing controls such as personal protective equipment, written procedures or training.

JHA Forms

Completion of these forms by all managers and supervisors is a mandatory requirement of the safety audit.

A job hazard analysis form has been developed to clearly outline the workplace task to be analyzed. Each workplace task along with its sequence of task has been completed for you by a subject matter expert group.

During review with the worker you may need to tailor specific parts of the task section or other sections. Please alter the information on the form as needed.

These forms have been completed for the main activities of our workers and broken down into the following categories:

  • CAW and Teaching Assistants (CUPE)
  • TMG/Faculty (including Sessional Lecturers)
  • Hospitality Services
  • Facility Services
  • Security and Parking Services, Grounds Department
  • Blank Template

 

If the main activity has been rated as a major hazard a step by step description for this activity must be developed and documented. The requirements for this step by step description or standard operating procedure (SOP) are located in Risk Management Manual #301.
