What this lesson covers
This lesson walks through building a job hazard analysis (JHA): choosing jobs, breaking them into steps, finding the hazards in each step and assigning controls. It follows OSHA Publication 3071. It matters because CHST questions test the order of JHA steps, who should be involved and when a JHA must be reviewed.
