Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)

IHS risk assessment software, content and expertise help you execute a unified risk management strategy, ensuring that you develop a robust knowledge base, allowing for mitigations and controls that are both effective and preventative. Where there is uncertainty, risk assessments can be defined and linked, allowing full traceability from assessments to control plans to mitigation strategies and monitoring of controls. By creating safe work environments, companies can avoid potential litigation, costly insurance and workers' compensation claims.

IHS EHS&S Professional Services offer a proven track record of helping our clients successfully mitigate risks so they can achieve their business goals. IHS facilitates your JSA study in a three-step manner. We will first review the respective process safety information along with the scope and objectives of the project. This is followed by a series of onsite meetings where the facilitator guides the team to identify the hazards associated and assists them in analyzing these scenarios further. After the meetings, the facilitator provides a report that includes all the findings and recommendations of this study.

Our JSA training can help you become a leader in your organization and conduct better Job Safety studies. Check out our Training Services for course description and upcoming dates.
