Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
7-step task safety method
1
Define the Task
Name the task, assign owner, list tools needed. Be specific about scope and boundaries.
2
Break into Sequential Steps
List each step with an action verb. Max 15 steps. Too broad = miss hazards.
3
Identify Hazards per Step
Ask: Can worker be struck, caught, fall, or exposed to harm at this step?
4
Assess Risk Level
Rate likelihood × severity using the matrix above. Get a risk score.
5
Apply Controls
Follow hierarchy: Eliminate → Substitute → Engineer → Admin → PPE.
6
Assign Owner & Date
Name who implements each control. Set completion deadline.
