-Determining preventive measures to overcome these hazards
Selecting the job to be analyzed
All job should be subjected to a Job Hazard Analysis. Practical constraints posed by the amount of time and effort required to do a Job Hazard Analysis. Each Job Hazard Analysis will require revision whenever equipment, raw materials, processes or the environment change. It is usually necessary to identify which jobs are to be analyzed.

As a segment of the operation necessary to advance the work. Not to make the steps too general. Missing specific steps and their associated hazard will not help. But, if too detailed, there will be to many steps and it becomes unnecessarily long or so broad that it doe not include basic steps. Most jobs can be described in less than ten steps. Important to keep the steps in their correct sequence, Any sequence that out of order may miss serious potential hazards or introduce hazards which do not actually exist.
Identify potential hazard.
Knowledge of accident and injury cases, personal experience, list the things that could go wrong at each step. A second observation of the job being performed may be needed. List of questions that can be use to help identify potential hazard : - Do tools, machines or equipment present any hazard?
- Is there a danger from falling objects?
- Can the worker slip, trip, or fall? - Is harmful radiation a possibility?
Determine preventive measures
Final stage in Job Hazard Analysis- determine ways to eliminate or control the hazards indentified.
Generally accepted measure, in order of preference :
- Eliminate the hazard = Choose a different process = Modify an existing process = Improve environment = Modify or change equipment or tools - Contain he hazard - Revise work procedures - Reduce the exposure
