OSHA requires employers to conduct job hazard analysis (JHA) to identify and eliminate workplace risks.
An effective JHA program can help your company reduce employee injuries, lower workers’ comp premiums, and reduce your overall risk of OSHA citations. Supervisors can also use the findings of a JHA when hiring and retraining employees to enhance productivity and job performance.
