JHA for Supervisors: Creating Job Hazard Analyses That Reduce Injury and Prevent Workplace Hazards
JHA for Supervisors Webinar Recording
In the workplace, one simple human error can lead to a severe accident or injury. And it takes a trained mind to evaluate the relationship between the worker, the task, the work area, the tools, and the equipment.
Job hazard analysis (JHA) allows supervisors to find the potential hazards beforethey occur. Comprehensive JHA can not only reduce injury and illness rates, but can also save companies money in workers’ comp costs and downtime due to accidents.
Once the hazards are identified through JHA, they can be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable risk level through engineering controls, administrative procedures, or personal protective equipment.
Join us for an in-depth webinar all about the JHA process.
You’ll learn:
- The ins and outs of OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910, and the benefits of conducting job hazards analysis
