Carry out a structured risk assessment of job hazard analysis and rank findings by consequence.
Job Hazard Analysis Before Starting Critical Tasks
Build a working method for job hazard analysis that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Regulators judge job hazard analysis on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Where this area of occupational health and safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of occupational health and safety, in large organisations and small ones alike. Across sectors, teams that rehearse job hazard analysis outperform teams that only plan it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider occupational health and safety agenda and prepares them for it. The course covers this area of occupational health and safety at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The difficulty is not agreeing that job hazard analysis matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the occupational health and safety discipline under scrutiny. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the practice within occupational health and safety rather than a set of notes.
