hazards so they can report them to you. It explains what
a job hazard analysis is and offers guidelines to help you
conduct your own step-by-step analysis.

A hazard is the potential for harm. In practical terms,
a hazard often is associated with a condition or activity that,
if left uncontrolled, can result in an injury or illness. See
Appendix 2 for a list of common hazards and descriptions.
Identifying hazards and eliminating or controlling them as
early as possible will help prevent injuries and illnesses.

A job hazard analysis is a technique that focuses on
job tasks as a way to identify hazards before they occur.

eliminate or reduce them to an acceptable risk level.
