Learn Effective Techniques of Writing and Documenting Your Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).

Contractors require job hazard analyses (JHAs) before they begin working on a project in order to reduce errors, mistakes or accidents. By requiring the contractor to submit a JHA for the planned work, the owner or general contractor has a means of evaluating contractor’s safety preparations. Additionally, the JHA can determine and specify if additional safety training, licensing or certification is required; it may also specify that all employees working on a project get a minimum level of safety training. When used properly, the JHA can be a very effective tool in assuring safety work performance.

This program by expert speaker John J. Meola, CSP, ARM, offers a tutorial on how to write an effective and properly sequenced JHA. Useful for many managers and supervisors, John’s presentation will also explain the intent of the JHA process and how you can structure your JHA to address your clients’ concerns.
