Job Hazard Analysis 2nd Edition is a complete guide to performing Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and setting up a JHA program. A JHA identifies the basic job steps and tasks and their associated hazards and risks, and then develops safe operating procedures and hazard controls based on that analysis. In this book, James Roughton and Nathan Crutchfield argue that the JHA should be the centerpiece of any risk control and occupational safety and health program. However, the traditional JHA has potential problems in gathering an analysis of task data and, with its focus on the sequence of steps, can miss the behavioral effects and the systems interactions between tools, equipment, materials, work environment, management and the individual worker.

Roughton and Crutchfield present their concept for the JHA incorporating elements from Behavior-Based Safety and Six Sigma. They take the reader through the whole process of developing tools for identifying workplace hazards, developing systems that support hazard recognition, developing an effective JHA, and managing a JHA based program. By fitting it into occupational safety and health management systems the JHA program allows businesses to move from mere compliance to pro-active safety management. The book is supported by numerous examples of JHAs, end of chapter review questions, sample checklists, action plans and forms.
