Job Hazard Analysis

Use when an EHS manager, safety professional, foreman, supervisor, competent person, qualified person, or frontline worker needs to draft an OSHA Publication 3071–aligned Job Hazard Analysis (JHA / JSA / Activity Hazard Analysis) for a single routine, non-routine, emergency, or one-off job under 29 CFR 1910, 29 CFR 1926, MSHA 30 CFR Parts 46 / 48 / 56 / 57, USACE EM 385-1-1, or ANSI/ASSP Z10. Guides scoped intake of job, location, crew, tools, equipment, materials and SDS, energy sources, environment, simultaneous operations, and PPE constraints, breaks the job into ordered steps, walks an explicit hazard-category checklist per step, scores inherent and residual risk (Severity 1–5 × Likelihood 1–5), proposes controls in strict hierarchy-of-controls order (Elimination → Substitution → Engineering → Warnings → Administrative → PPE), cross-references required permits, training, and emergency response, and produces a DRAFT JHA with a worker-participation block and an unsigned competent-person / supervisor / EHS sign-off block — for review before any work is authorized. Never authorizes work, never signs the JHA, never substitutes for site-specific procedures or AHJ requirements, and never recommends PPE as the sole control where higher tiers are feasible.
