Lesson 9

SAFE WORK PROCEDURES

FOR CRITICAL TASK

1
 OBJECTIVES:
Upon the completion of this lesson the participant
will be able to:

 identify tasks (segments of work) , that have high potential for loss if not carried out in a
specific manner and in a special sequence.
:
 reduce accidental losses by identifying and controlling the hazards presented in each
step of each task.
 develop written job safe practices (JSP’s) for critical tasks to be followed that will.
identify and control hazards that might not otherwise have been identified or
highlighted. Which will improve the safety, productivity and quality of tasks and minimize
the possibility of injury occurrence

has begun to identify if the risk can be reduced further
Work may proceed but where possible the work activity should be redefined to take account of
8 to 12
the hazards involved or the risk should be reduced further prior to the work activity taking place
The work activity should not proceed. It should be redefined or further control measures put in
15 to 25 place to reduce the risk further. The risk control measures should be re-assessed for adequacy
prior to and throughout the work activity taking place

 Work Assessments
Critical task ,Work plan and Job observation

Job Safe Practices (JSPs ) are required in order to reduce

the possibility of risk to employees and damage to
equipment while performing work task, specifically
critical task , written procedures, properly used, serve as
a base form which tasks can be continually modified to
improve work methods, employee and contractor safety
productivity.

 Toolbox Meeting
A Toolbox Talk is an informal group discussion
that focuses on a particular safety issue.
These tools can be used daily to promote
your departments safety culture. Toolbox
talks are also intended to facilitate health and
safety discussions on the job site.
