Job Safety Analysis Procedures; Developing Effective Employee Participation

By Virginia Miller


At the core of a successful Job safety Analysis process, you must ensure that there are risk assessment protocols and procedures that are effective and comprehensive in identifying risk. This risk assessment process includes a variety of elements. This article delves into the Job Safety Analysis Procedures and key components of the program.

Conduct a risk assessment of your facility. The risk is the combination of potential severity and exposure to hazards. This assessment is not just a compliance inspection of your facility. It must be a well-designed risk assessment procedure that defines the baseline of where you will begin in developing your Job Hazard Analysis.

It is also vital to review human behaviors that result in the completion of assigned tasks and the underlining culture of the organization. Gap or consequences analysis are great tools that can be used to determine if the facility has unconsciously designed specific guidelines and procedures that potentially drive the wrong behaviors. The ideal safe behavior is driven by the reinforcement and understanding of what happens after specific at-risk behaviors. The consequences assessment will help managers better determine the type of feedback that employees should receive when they perform a task.

The consequences of working safe and following security rules may be found to be outweighed by the consequences in place for getting the job completed. Employees may take reducing the risk of a supervisor's criticism about productivity (high probability) over the risk of injury as the possibility that something injuries will happen is usually a low probability for most tasks. We, as a society, appear to have a built-in bias towards "I have done this for thirty years this way and have never been hurt." "If there is no immediate loss, there is no immediate risk."

Preparing, assets and powerful correspondence: All representatives may require a level of essential comprehension of explanations behind administrative consistence, i. E., OSHA consistence, the ANSI Z10 standard joining into the security procedure, and so on. A technique for building up a viable correspondence framework with the goal that all representatives comprehend the message must be created.

Establish an evaluation team. This team will suggest recommendations and implementation strategy. Once site-specific controls are developed, there must a timely feedback to assure all employees and management knows that their concerns have been acted upon and have the results validated. Analyze and begin monitoring controls and their effectiveness. Typically this is one of the weakness parts (follow up and corrective actions) of any process, as we tend to move on to other perceived problems, leaving past issues behind!

Developing an effective safety assessment program involves an examination of your vision (objectives), core administrative criteria, action planning skills, and current hazard recognition methods and document procedures. This evaluation will go a long way in fully incorporating use of the assesment into the normal routine ensuring that it is being used consistently.

Continuous Identification of Training Needs is also critical. Management must incorporate procedures providing for the continuous improvement of training as an essential step early in the training design. Management in each departmental area should be included in the development of training process to ensure a comprehensive vision for maintaining a safe work environment is created. The intent of leadership must also be communicated throughout all levels of the organization.
