  At the core of a successful Job Hazard Test process you must ensure there are risk assessment procedures and protocols which can be effective and comprehensive with identifying risk. This associated risk assessment process includes subsequent elements:
  
  

  1. Conduct a risk assessment of your facility. Risk is the mix of potential severity and exposure to hazards. This assessment isn't just a compliance inspection of your facility. It must be described as a well designed risk assessment procedure that defines that baseline of where you will begin in developing ones Job Hazard Test .
     During the risk examination you must ask some of the follow questions to understand the climate with the facility: What is the present culture? What is now happening? What are the hazards linked to each job and how can we break them into categories? What type involving current/potential risks exist? That's exposed to the current/potential chance? Have there been changes in materials, tools, equipment, procedures, employees, etc? Your assessment should identify careers, steps, and task which includes a history of injury together with loss producing events and/or some other damages. In addition, the assessment must identify highest potential of risk that will cause injury or hurt. This risk assessment will look at jobs that can have no history of loss but show increased potential for severe injury or damage in support of "luck" has prevented an incident.
  
  
  2. Improve site-specific controls. When increasing site-specific control procedures, you must look at the highest risk priority based on the hazards identified, the agreed upon severity and the overall influence on the facility. The key may be to design both a temporary (interim solution), as well look at a long term solutions to help to reduce the potential for injury and loss providing events. The "Hierarchy of Controls" (As per ANSI AIHA Z10 2005, a lot of these controls are Elimination, Substitution, Engineering, Warnings, Administrative, and Personal Protective Equipment) is utilized to work through the process for the most beneficial risk and hazard control.
  
  
  3. Establish an assessment team. This team can suggest recommendations and inclusion strategy. Once site-specific controls are generally developed there must a timely feedback to assure all employees and management know that their concerns have been applied and have the outcomes validated.
  
  
  4. Analyze and begin monitoring controls and their own effectiveness. Typically this is one of the weakness parts (follow-up and corrective actions) of any process, as we usually tend to move on to some other perceived problems, leaving previous issues behind!

  
  
  Developing an effective Job Hazard Analysis involves an examination of your vision (targets), action planning abilities, core administrative criteria, and current hazard recognition solutions and document procedures. This evaluation will go a considerable ways in fully incorporating use of the Job Hazard Analysis into the normal routine ensuring that it is being used consistently.
