Job Hazard Analysis and Mitigation (JHAM)
Policy
Summary
Job Hazard Analysis and Mitigation (JHAM)
is a formal process by which personnel plan work, identify task-specific
hazards, assess associated risks, eliminate hazards or establish control
measures to mitigate risks, document results, and monitor the
effectiveness of the control measures. This process is conducted
annually, or whenever standard duties change, for routine work and is
conducted on a task basis for non-routine work.
Area Hazard Analysis (AHA) is a formal
process by which assigned personnel identify area hazards, assess
associated risks, eliminate hazards or
establish control measures to mitigate risks, document results,
and monitor the effectiveness of the control measures. This process is
conducted annually or when the characterization or content of an area
changes.
Together, Job Hazard Analysis and
Mitigation and Area Hazard Analysis processes, as major components of
the Integrated Safety Management System at SLAC, produce specific
actions and information necessary to safely complete a project, task or
work activity while assuring active participation of those who perform
the work.
Applicability and Scope
JHAM is applicable to all SLAC workers,
and the AHA is applicable to all areas where work activities take place.
Driver and Purpose
To enhance safety through hazard analysis
and to support compliance with the Integrated Safety Management System
(ISMS).
Policy
The SLAC director and associate directors
are responsible to ensure that job hazard analyses are performed for all
employees and that area hazard analyses are carried out for the areas
under their control. To support this requirement, all supervisors at
SLAC will work with their employees to review and identify safety,
health, and environmental hazards, and either eliminate the hazards or
establish controls necessary to reduce the associated risk to an
acceptable level. This review shall be conducted annually and whenever a
change of duties warrants a review. A job hazard analysis, either
routine or non-routine, must be performed before work begins.
Additionally, all areas at SLAC where work
activities take place shall be reviewed by the responsible associate
director or assigned designee, with support from ES&H Hazard Control and
other ES&H staff. This review identifies the safety, health and
environmental hazards present in the area and either eliminates the
hazards or establishes controls necessary to reduce the associated risk
to an acceptable level.
ES&H Hazard Control shall establish and
maintain a hazard analysis training program that supports the goal of
this policy, and shall establish and maintain a program to monitor
compliance with this policy and report results to the ES&HCC.
