Product Description
A Job Hazard Analysis (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 this analysis. In this book, James Roughton and Nathan Crutchfield argue that the JHA should be the centrepiece of any risk control and occupational safety and health program and a methodical analysis is required for the new American safety and health management standard ANSI/AIHA Z10. However, the traditional JHA has potential problems in gathering and 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. The authors present a new and improved 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 and fitting it into occupational safety and health management systems, allowing businesses to move from mere compliance to a pro-active safety management. The book is supported by numerous examples of JHAs, end of chapter review questions, sample checklists, action plans and forms.

Safety sytem design, 2008-04-15
Mr. Roughton and Mr. Crutchfield have again written a step-by step, detailed, and very instructional blueprint of how to effectively improve a safety system in any organization. All the key ingredients are in the book - beginning with securing management commitment and promoting employee participation. I think the book is even better suited, designed, and aimed at a new and beginning safety culture of a company, and would be the perfect lesson plan for a new Safety Director wanting to make a difference in the safety performance of a large organization. I particularly appreciated the JHA overview as likening it to a snap shot, frame by frame break down of any particular job that guarantees hazard recognition and reduction through ilimination or control. I have already implemented this Type JHA process in my safety/training basic classes with new employees at my company, and completed a four week climbing and equipment school - without incident. Mine was the first class in over a year to achieve this.
I just used many parts of the JHA book and put it into action, and it worked.

The underpinning for the Safety Profession: Hazard Prevention, 2008-02-29
Whether you are a seasoned safety professional, risk manager or considering entering into the field this book will expand your knowledge and appreciation for performing a HAZARD ANALYSIS. Most of us in the Safety and health profession have been exposed to this subject, but the author has taken it to the next level by offering "hands on" experience and invaluable insights. This book also includes numerous checklists and practical examples of how to implement this effective tool and obtain buy-in from your management team. My personal library would not be complete without this valuable resource.

Taking a Closer Look at Reality, 2007-10-26
We have a tendency to overlook hazards in everyday life because we become accustom to our surroundings too quickly. We tend to settle in a comfort zone that we are familiar with and tend to stay there. We feel comfortable doing what we have always done, no one has been injuries. When we are accustomed to our surroundings we begin to ASSUME too many things and then an injury occurs and what do we do? We to react to the situation. So the question becomes, why do we become so accustom to our surroundings? The answer is in this book. This book will discuss reasons that we are confortable in our environment and provides the tools and resources that can help you break this cycle so that you can begin to see hazards for what they really are.
This is a must read book for the professional, student of safety, and the non-professional who wants to understand risk.
