4 techniques or tools for preventing accidents at the workplace
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA)
Working collectively and applying the specific safety knowledge will help minimise the risk of injuries and fatalities
4 steps in preparing a JHA
Select a job to be analysed
Separate the job into its basic step
Identify the hazards associated with each step
Develop solution to control each hazard
important to include supervisors and workers in JHA process
- Some workers may not be highly educated, but they are familiar with the job. So you should take advantage of their knowledge on the tasks, and their experience, to assist you in developing a more thorough analysis
Use of JHA
also get the information to update safety procedures and instructions for jobs not frequently done.
to train new workers on the specific safety instructions applied to their work
experienced workers, you can use the JHA to communicate safety instructions for new jobs or modified jobs.
SPECIAL EMPHASIS PROGRAMME (SEP)
used to address high-risk activities so that accidents, fatalities and severe injuries can be avoided
focuses specifically on one particular hazard to
achieve the desired safe work performance
seven key elements
Purpose and objectives
Step-by-step procedures
List of identified equipment used
Checklist, signage, tags or stickers
Inspection and auditing frequency
Indicators that track the implementation
Rewards/penalties for safe work performance
useful to manage a specific
hazard or high-risk activity
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMME (PMP)
scheduled to take place on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis and use inspection checklists
as an accident prevention tool, as equipment failures are minimised, therefore reducing the potentially unsafe conditions
Poorly maintained equipment and buildings can create unsafe working conditions
benefits of having a good PMP
Improved attitudes toward safety
Higher degree of safety ownership
Improved equipment efficiency
Lower chances of incidents from happening
JOB SAFETY OBSERVATION (JSO)
used in assessing workersÊ work performance
to identify the potential hazards through observations
purposes of
Safety audit verify implementation of written safety procedures
Safety inspection check work area and equipment to detect unsafe conditions
Safety observation observe worker and detect unsafe acts
five basic components of JSO
A written JSO procedure approved by management
A complete JHA for every type of jobs to be observed
A well-defined goal and objectives for JSO
A documented SOP detailing step-by-step safe job procedures
A competent pool of observers trained on the required procedures
helps the management and
supervisors see how the workers do their jobs
