Hazard Analysis
 Analyzing
hazards is a key function of integrating safety and environmental management
into our everyday work. We stay safe and protect the environment by identifying our tasks and their
potential hazards, and then establishing controls to
mitigate risks before starting work.
Please see Hazard Examples for an overview
of what types of hazards there are, and Hazard
Identification for pictures to aid you in looking for hazards around us.
Types of Hazard Analysis |
| Area Hazards
Analysis |
An Area Hazards Analysis (AHA) is a
formalized process by which personnel identify hazards
associated with the physical environment. AHAs are completed once then reviewed
annually or when conditions in the area change. See the
AHA
section. |
| Routine JHAM |
Day-to-day activities
are reviewed, assessed for hazards, and planned to mitigate
the hazards in the Routine Job Hazard Analysis and Mitigation (JHAM). JHAMs are completed annually
with employees and their supervisors. See the JHAM section. |
| Non-Routine JHAM |
A task that is new or
performed so infrequently it wouldn't qualify as
routine, is covered by a Non-Routine Job Hazard Analysis
and Mitigation (JHAM). This is completed
with the employee's supervisor before the task begins. See Create a Non-Routine JHAM. |
| ISEMS |
Hazard Analysis is a vital component of
the Integrated Safety and Environment Management System
(ISEMS) here at SLAC. The core functions of ISEMS are: Define
task, analyze hazards, control for hazards, perform work, and
evaluate performance. The Hazard Analysis programs cover
the second core function and work towards the third, making it a
vital part of our work. For more information, please see
the ISEMS pages. |
| Pre-Work Hazard Analysis |
Before doing work at SLAC, contractors are
required to consider their job and analyze potential hazards.
Filling
out forms for pre-work hazard analysis is part of this. There are
separate forms for construction and non-construction
work. See Pre-Work Hazard Analysis forms. |
| STA |
The JHAM portion of hazard analysis is a
parallel process with the SLAC Training Assessment (STA).
The STA is designed to evaluate what training we need for our
jobs, and to track that training in a database. By going
through the process of JHAMs and seeing what hazards we might
encounter and think about mitigation, personnel and supervisors
can more readily evaluate what training might be needed in our
jobs and enter it in the STA. For more information, please
see the STA pages. |
