11 JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS.

11.1 The JHA- Job Hazard Analysis shall be done by Subcontractors for the activities connected with their own
scope of work. Generally speaking, the activities to be analyzed shall be those performed by a specific team
and not by individuals.
The JHA is expected to be simple but applied to a large number of activities.
Contractor ( both superintendents, supervisors, and Site HSE Manager, each one according to his own role)
shall:
: cooperate to the JHA activity,
: verify that the activity is done correct,
: verify that the results are transferred to the people involved,
: maintain a file records of the JHA prepared.
The JHA – Job Hazard Analysis is to be considered a continuous activity on site to be developed during all
the construction period to take into account all the activities not previously analyzed or for which changed
site conditions are foreseen.
