Job Hazard Analysis

The job hazard analysis, or JHA, is a method to identify hazards and unsafe work conditions and activities that cause or have the potential to cause injuries and illnesses and to propose hazard controls that reduce the risk of harm and eliminate the hazards.
This course is for employers, managers, supervisors, and safety committee members to help them identify and eliminate hazards and prevent injuries in their workplaces, as well as for workers who can use the information to recognize workplace hazards and report them to management before an injury or illness occurs.
