Purpose and Objective

4Purpose:– A risk management process used to identify and manage

hazards and associated risks to an acceptable level

4Objective:– Understand Buckeye’s expectations for use of this

process, the added value of the process, and the steps to complete the process


Policy

4JSAs are required for all HWA work performed on Buckeye’s owned, operated, leased, or rented property.

4JSAs are also required when working from heights, near overhead powerlines, and upon a Buckeye representative’s request

4A new JSA is completed for each day/shift in conjunction with the HWA.

4Applies to all employees or contractors


Description

4Process driven approach to controlling hazardsand the associated risks

4Identifies hazards associated with the work

4Used to identify and implement control measures


Work Description

4Date and location4Work Description

– Be descriptive as possible– Include equipment numbers where applicable


Task Steps

4Break task into steps

4Use procedures to identify the key steps

4If more than 12 steps, break job into smaller jobs


Work Hazard Assessment Form (WHA)

Hazard Identification

4Hazards associated with each individual step

4Ask• What can go wrong?

• What are the consequences?

• How could hazards arise?

• How likely is this hazard to occur?

• What condition changes can affect this job?• Other projects/simultaneous operations• Weather • Site emergencies• External conditions


Hazard Controls

4Once hazards are identified use hazard controls4The preferred hierarchy of control is:

1. Eliminate the Hazard2. Substitute a less hazardous solution3. Engineering Controls

4. Administrative Controls5. Personal Protective Equipment


Engineering controls

4Means of mitigating hazard at its source or placing of physical barrier

4Examples• Machine guarding

• Ventilation • Noise barriers

4Never modify equipment withoutmanufacturer approval


Administrative Controls

4Reduce the level of risk by changing:• Process• Procedure

• ScheduleExamples:• Use of procedure deviation process

• Use of MOC process• Change work schedules


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

4Last line of defense

4Protection if other control fails

4All PPE has limitations• Maintain and wear properly

• Understand capabilities and limitations• Inspect before use


Hazard Identification and Hazard Controls

4Specific control must assigned to an individual Example: Barricade around an excavation

4Person assigned is responsible to report completion to the PIC

JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS – HAZARD MANAGEMENT FORM

Work Description/Work Plan:

Note: If the scope of work or the conditions change significantly, STOP THE WORK/SHUT DOWN. Revise the JSA to address the NEW HAZARDS before proceeding.

Complete Task Steps / Potential Hazards / Hazard Controls PRIOR to the JSA Reviewer. Complete Assigned Person AT THE WORK SITE (after JSA Reviewer has signed)

TASK STEPS (Number)

POTENTIAL HAZARDS (What could go wrong?)

HAZARDS CONTROLS (How can harm be prevented?)

ASSIGNED PERSON

Name Complete


Risk Assessment

4If existing Procedures or Work Practices must be modified to perform this work, communicate with your Buckeye representative for assistance with procedures deviation process.

4If available controls are insufficient to reduce risks to an acceptable level, communicate with your Buckeye representative for assistance.


JSA Review

4JSA must be reviewed and signed by a Buckeye PIC

4Signature affirms• Review has occurred with the person responsible for the

initiation and completion of the JSA


JSA Team

4Everyone participating must sign

4Acknowledges which personnel participated in the JSA process. It also represents agreement with the information contained in the document


Changing Conditions

4Late arrivals shall REVIEW and sign

4Changes in: • Work process• Work site conditionsRequires:

• Stop work• Revise the JSA

• Contact Buckeye PIC• Inform all affected personnel
