PPE REQUIRED:
Goggles
Safety Shoes/boots
Gloves
EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES/REQUIREMENTS:
1. Use two people to move/lift heavy drums.
2. Read and understand Material Safety Data Sheet for chemical being handled.
3. Know where the nearest emergency eye wash/shower is and ensure a clear path.
4. Plan movement route to avoid hazards and minimize exposure to chemicals.
5. Use mechanical means to handle drums if available.
6. Secure drums when in transit to avoid tipping and spilling contents.
7. Be aware of drains along travel path to avoid any chemical entering the waste system in case of a spill.
8. Use proper body mechanics when handling heavy/awkward loads.
9. Only move drums when properly closed (unless empty and purged).
10. Push drums versus pulling them on a dolly to prevent them from falling on worker in case of a fall.
11. Operate all equipment in strict accordance with Manufacturer’s instructions.
12. Only authorized users can operate equipment.
13. Report any observed defect or safety hazard to your supervisor immediately.
14. Where any object handled would possibly cause injury to feet if dropped, safety shoes will be worn.
15. Where any object handled could possibly cause cuts, punctures or abrasions to hands, appropriate gloves will be worn. (Exception: where rotating machinery presents a
greater hazard of entangling gloves, they are optional at the supervisor’s discretion).
16. Keep hands, hair and loose clothing clear of all moving parts.
Historical UAF JHA Format
Again, somewhat confusing for users to
accurately complete
With feedback from customers like you,
we’ve found these previous JHA formats to
be over-simplified or just too confusing
This is the current, more user friendly,
2010 JHA FORMAT now used at UAF
The 2010 JHA form is comprised of a few

Remember...KEEP IT SIMPLE!
Avoid making the breakdown so detailed that an
unnecessarily large number of steps results
This hazard occurs very quickly and leaves little time to react.
Example Hazard Scenario 2
A worker in a Laboratory uses several gases
for a research project. The gases include
nitrogen, argon, helium, and carbon dioxide.
Could there be any hazard(s) associated with
using these gases in a lab setting?
Yes! Many lab gases will list the known
hazards right on their cylinder label. You
can also find the hazards printed right on
the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for
each specific gas used.
Again, consider the following?
What can go wrong?
The cylinders or hoses could leak or burst, releasing the gas.
Cylinders could fall over breaking off the regulator, literally
creating a rocket. Improper regulator could burst hoses/lines.
What are the consequences?
These gases can cause rapid asphyxiation and death when
inhaled. Additionally, these gases as a liquid or a gas can
causecould

Workers not ensuring proper seating/tightness of cylinder
and hose connections. Improper storage (unsecure cylinders).

The Completed JHA
A Quick JHA Review
Develop a list of jobs you perform
Prioritize which jobs to assess first
Perform a Job Hazard Analysis by
Observing the job steps
Note all hazards associated with each step
List controls (protective measures) for each hazard
Note any required training for the job
Include any relevant pictures, flowcharts, etc.
Please contact us to review any of your JHAs. We want to ensure you understand this
process.
JHA Assistance and References
o As you begin to perform JHAs in your department, rest
assured that help is always available. EHS&RM can
assist you with any particular questions or concerns
you may have.
o Additionally, there are many resources available to assist
you. On our webpage for example, you will find several
references to help you develop your JHAs, to include:
- This PowerPoint presentation
- Blank JHA templates
- Completed JHAs you can use (cut/paste) in developing
those JHAs specific to YOUR jobs!
o Remember, the best overall JHA resource is:
The OSHA 3071 JHA Handbook
- also found on our website
Congratulations!
You’re almost done.
GOOD LUCK!
