Most safety professionals are familiar with the process of job hazard analysis (JHA) and many have been able to apply the method successfully to reduce potential hazards inherent in a job-resulting in the reduction of accidents, first aid cases, and near misses.

Yet, as effective as JHA is, it is under-utilized for various reasons, the most common of which is that employees and supervisors do not have the bandwidth to dedicate to it. Additionally, if the JHA process is not well designed, it can get be very cumbersome to implement, and follow-through is essential to really see the ROI.
