    The document discusses conducting a job hazard analysis (JHA) for solid waste jobs. A JHA identifies hazards by examining the relationship between the worker, task, tools, and work environment. It aims to prevent injuries by eliminating or controlling hazards. The summary outlines key aspects of a JHA, including prioritizing jobs based on injury rates, reviewing accident history, outlining job steps, detecting potential hazards, and controlling hazards through engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment methods. Regular review of the JHA is important to ensure hazards are identified and addressed.

    SOLID WASTE JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS

    Presented by:

    Ross Muir
    Environmental Health, Safety and Training Administrator

    WHY CONDUCT A JOB HAZARD


    ANALYSIS?

    A job hazard analysis (JHA) can


    prevent work-related death, injuries or
    illnesses by eliminating or controlling
    identified hazards.

    It is a means to ensure that workers


    have the training, equipment and
    supplies to do their jobs safely.

    1
    HAZARD AWARENESS

    When conducting a job hazard


    analysis, you may need to take a fresh
    look at the way things are done at your
    workplace.

    Even though you may hear “we’ve been


    doing it that way for years and nothing
    happened,” it doesn’t mean a hazard
    doesn’t exist.

    UNSAFE BEHAVIOR

    Unsafe behavior leads to unsafe conditions that


    can cause accidents.

    Ò  Equipment
    operating too close to another piece
    of equipment.

    Ò  Debris
    on the tipping floor obstructing walking
    surfaces can cause slipping, tripping.

    2
    UNSAFE BEHAVIOR

    Unsafe behaviors show weakness in the safety


    management system.

    Ò  Failure to implement SOPs and training.

    Ò  Failure
    to notify management about different
    PPE needs.

    JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS - JHA


    A job hazard analysis focuses on the relationship
    between the

    Ò  Worker
    Ò  Task
    Ò  Tools,
    and
    Ò  Work Environment

    as a way to identify hazards before they occur.

    3
    WORKER, TASK, TOOLS, WORK ENVIRONMENT

    Ò  Worker = equipment operator.


    Ò  Task = load, transport, dump, spread, compact,
    cover trash, grade roads, dust suppression.
    Ò  Tools = front-end loader, transfer truck,
    bulldozer, compactor, motor grader, and water
    wagon.
    Ò  Work Environment = landfill, transfer station,
    MRF, green waste/composting area

    JHA PROCEDURE

    Ò  Review accident history.

    Ò  List, rank, and set priorities for hazardous jobs.

    Ò  Conduct walk-through job review.

    Ò  Outline the steps or tasks.

    4
    ACCIDENT HISTORY

    Look at jobs where workers have been injured using


    existing information from:

      Your accident or incident reports

      Your worker compensation claims

      Industry or trade association data

    JHA PRIORITIZATION

    Ò  Jobs with the highest Ò  Jobs complex enough


    injury and illness to have written
    rates instructions
    Ò  Jobs that have the Ò  Jobs that are new to
    potential to cause your facility
    serious injury Ò  Jobs that had
    Ò  Jobs in which one significant changes in
    simple human error process or procedure
    could cause injury

    5
    OUTLINE THE STEPS
    Ò  Watch the employee perform
    the job and list each step as
    the worker takes it.
    Ò  Be sure to record enough
    information to describe each
    job action without getting
    overly detailed.
    Ò  Avoid making the breakdown
    of steps so detailed that it
    becomes unnecessarily long
    or so broad that it does not
    include basic steps.

    REVIEW THE STEPS

    Ò  Review
    the job steps with the employee to
    make sure you have not omitted something.

    Ò  Include
    the employee in all phases of the
    analysis—from reviewing the job steps and
    procedures to discussing uncontrolled hazards
    and recommended solutions.

    6
    DETECTIVE WORK

    A job hazard analysis is an exercise in detective


    work. Your goal is to discover the following:

    É  What can go wrong?


    É  What are the consequences?

    É  How could it arise?

    É  What are other contributing factors?

    É  How likely is it that the hazard will occur?

    COMMON HAZARDS IN THE WORKPLACE

    Hazard Hazard Type

    Chemical Corrosive, Toxic, Fire, Explosive

    Caught In, Caught Between, Crushed, Impact,


    Contact
    Struck Against, Struck By

    Arc Flash, Fire, Short Circuit, Shock, Static


    Electrical

    Particulates - dust, fumes, mist, aerosol Gas/


    Respirator y Vapors
    Biologic - bacteria, fungus (mold/spores), virus

    Vectors Arachnids, Insects, Birds, Rodents, Snakes

    CONTROLLING THE HAZARDS

    The order of precedence and effectiveness of


    hazard control is the following:

    É  Engineering controls


    É  Administrative controls

    É  Personal protective equipment

    8
    ENGINEERING CONTROLS
    Engineering controls include the following:

    É Elimination/minimization of the hazard.


    É Substitution of equipment or process to
    decrease hazard.
    É Isolation of the hazard with interlocks,
    machine guards, blast shields, or other
    means.

    ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
    Administrative controls may include the following:

    É  Buddy system.


    É  Written operating procedures, work permits, safe
    work practices, and training.
    É  Exposure time limitations (used most commonly to
    control heat stress and ergonomic hazards).
    É  Monitoring the use of highly hazardous materials.

    É  Alarms, signs, and warnings.

    9
    PPE

    Personal Protective Equipment is acceptable in the


    following circumstances:

    É  When engineering controls are not feasible or


    do not totally eliminate the hazard;
    É  While engineering controls are being developed;
    É  When safe work practices do not provide
    sufficient additional protection; and
    É  During emergencies when engineering controls
    may not be feasible.

    EXAMPLE JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS FORM


    Job Location: Metal Shop
    Analyst: Joe Safety Date
    Ò  Task Description: Worker reaches into metal box to the
    right of the machine, grasps a 15-pound casting and
    carries it to grinding wheel. Worker grinds 20 to 30
    castings per hour.
    Ò  Hazard Description: Picking up a casting, the employee
    could drop (sstuck-by) it onto his foot. The casting's
    weight and height could seriously injure the worker's
    foot or toes.
    Ò  Controls: Remove castings from the box and place
    them on a table next to the grinder; Use a device to
    pick up castings.
    Ò  PPE: Wear steel-toe shoes; Change protective gloves
    that allow a better grip.

    PERIODIC JHA REVIEW


    Periodic review of your job hazard analysis ensures that it
    remains current and continues to help reduce workplace
    accidents and injuries.

    You may identify hazards that were not identified in the


    initial analysis.

    Review your job hazard analysis if an illness or injury


    occurs. You may need to change the job procedure to
    prevent similar incidents in the future.

    Train all employees affected by the changes in the new job


    methods, procedures, or protective measures adopted.

    JHA –REQUIREMENT?
    OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard.

    The standard mainly applies to manufacturing


    industries, particularly those pertaining to chemicals,
    transportation equipment, and fabricated metal
    products.

    $,=?"@8-0=
     F$,=?'4?70&,10?D,9/0,7?3
    Regulations for Construction

    Standards for construction strongly infer the concept


    of JHA.

    JHA –REQUIREMENT?

    Proposed standard - i2p2

    The six major elements of an effective injury and illness


    prevention program as identified by OSHA are as follows:

    1.  Management Leadership


    2.  Worker Participation
    3 .  Hazard Identification and Assessment
    4 .  Hazard Prevention and Control
    5.  Education and Training
    6.  Program Evaluation and Improvement
