Effective Job Hazard and Risk Analysis Training Course (Provincial)
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a workplace assessment method used to identify job specific hazards, assess their risk, and consider mechanisms to either eliminate, mitigate, and or control the hazards. Sections 25 and 27 of the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) clearly states that “employers” and “supervisors” have the legal responsibility to advise the worker of the existence of any potential or actual danger to the health and safety of the worker of which they are aware. That includes any workforce provided by a temporary help agency or any other individual that performs work at the workplace. This legal requirement also applies to companies and individuals that are classified as “constructors” on the job site, and thus coordinate multiple workers that are directly employed by other organizations used to identify and control unacceptable risks relating to the performance of job tasks.
