What Is a Job Hazard Analysis?

A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a structured process used to examine work tasks, identify hazards associated with those tasks, and determine appropriate controls to reduce risk. In construction, JHAs can help supervisors, safety professionals, and workers understand how work will be performed and what measures are needed to address identified hazards.

Manage Construction JHAs Digitally

Managing JHAs through paper forms, spreadsheets, and disconnected files can make project safety documentation difficult to organize. Cintra Safety Pro provides a centralized location for managing Job Hazard Analyses alongside other construction safety information.

Job Steps

Organize the work into logical steps for hazard evaluation.

Hazards

Document hazards associated with individual job steps.

Controls

Record the measures used to manage identified hazards.

Risk Information

Maintain applicable risk information associated with the analysis.

Project Organization

Keep JHAs associated with the appropriate construction project.

JHA Records

Maintain organized JHA documentation within the construction safety system.

From Job Steps to Hazard Controls

A general overview of the Job Hazard Analysis process. This is educational information, not legal or regulatory advice.

  1. 1. Define the job or activity

    Identify the work being analyzed and its scope.

  2. 2. Break the job into logical steps

    Divide the work into manageable steps that can be evaluated individually.

  3. 3. Identify hazards

    Evaluate the hazards associated with each step.

  4. 4. Establish controls

    Identify appropriate engineering controls, administrative controls, safe work practices, PPE, or other measures based on the actual hazards.

  5. 5. Evaluate risk

    Assess the remaining risk using the applicable project or organizational risk-management process.

  6. 6. Communicate the JHA

    Review relevant hazards and controls with affected personnel according to project and employer requirements.

JHA and AHA: What's the Difference?

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) are both structured approaches used to identify hazards and establish controls before or during work. Terminology, format, scope, documentation, and specific requirements can differ depending on the employer, project, owner, contract, agency, or safety program.

For projects that use Activity Hazard Analyses, explore Cintra Safety Pro's AHA software page.

JHAs as Part of Your Construction Safety Program

Hazard analysis is only one part of construction safety management. Cintra Safety Pro helps teams keep JHAs alongside other project safety information so important records are easier to organize and retrieve. Explore Cintra Safety Pro construction safety software.

Job Hazard Analysis and Workplace Hazard Prevention

Systematically examining work steps, the hazards associated with them, and the controls used to address those hazards can support an organization's broader hazard-identification and risk-management process.

Employers and project teams remain responsible for determining and complying with the regulations, contract requirements, specifications, and safety standards applicable to their work.

Cintra Safety Pro is not endorsed, certified, approved, or sponsored by OSHA, USACE, the Department of Defense, or any government agency. Using Cintra Safety Pro does not by itself satisfy OSHA or any other requirement.

Keep JHAs With the Rest of Your Safety Documentation

Instead of maintaining hazard analyses separately from other project safety records, Cintra Safety Pro brings JHAs together with inspections, toolbox talks, training records, equipment information, incidents, documents, and reports. Teams using Activity Hazard Analyses can manage them in the same place with our AHA software, and see how these records support broader safety programs with our OSHA compliance software.
