Only supervisors should be involved in JSA/JHAs.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
It is extremely important to involve employees in the JSA/JHA process. Employees know the jobs better than anyone else and can provide unique insights into potential hazards.Rate this question:
-
- 3.
The words "job" and "task" are often interchangeable when discussing JSA/JHAs
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
JSA/JHAs break down hazards by individual tasks or jobs that a worker must perform to successfully complete the 'entire job'Rate this question:
-
- 4.
What is the value of conducting a JSA/JHA?
-
Elimination and prevention of hazards in the workplace
-
It allows the supervisors to take disciplinary action
-
It gives workers on light duty something to do
Correct Answer
A. Elimination and prevention of hazards in the workplaceExplanation
Conducting a JSA/JHA (Job Safety Analysis/Job Hazard Analysis) is valuable because it helps in identifying and eliminating potential hazards in the workplace. By analyzing each step of a job, supervisors can identify potential risks and take necessary preventive measures to ensure the safety of workers. This proactive approach helps in creating a safer work environment and prevents accidents or injuries. It is not about disciplinary action or giving light-duty workers something to do, but rather about prioritizing safety and mitigating risks in the workplace.Rate this question:

- 5.
It is important to review historically recordable and near-miss data when conducting JSA/JHAs.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Often recordable accidents and near miss events show where hazards are likely to occur.Rate this question:
-
- 6.
Engineering Controls are considered to be the MOST effective form of hazard control.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Engineering controls include designing the facility, equipment, or process to remove the hazard. They can also include measures such as substituting processes, equipment, materials, or other factors to lessen the hazard. Therefore, engineering controls are considered more effective than controls such as administrative or PPE.Rate this question:
-
- 7.
JSA/JHAs are based on what general concepts?
-
Job frequency, operator skill, hazard consequence
-
Functionality associated with each job, control measures, hazard abatement
-
Job can be broken into steps, hazards can be identified, controls can be implemented to prevent hazard
Correct Answer
A. Job can be broken into steps, hazards can be identified, controls can be implemented to prevent hazardExplanation
JSA/JHAs are based on the general concepts that a job can be broken down into steps, hazards can be identified during each step, and controls can be implemented to prevent those hazards. This means that the process of analyzing and assessing a job involves breaking it down into smaller, manageable steps, identifying potential hazards or risks associated with each step, and implementing control measures to mitigate or prevent those hazards from causing harm or accidents. This approach helps to ensure the safety and well-being of workers by systematically addressing and managing potential hazards in the workplace.Rate this question:

- 8.
In the following task, which would be the best hazard description?"Worker must bend down and lift a 15 pound casting"
-
Electrical sparks could cause shock
-
Reaching, twisting could result in lower back strain
-
Vibration may cause damage to nerve endings
Correct Answer
A. Reaching, twisting could result in lower back strainExplanation
A worker is exposed to back strain, as he may lift incorrectly or due to repetitive motion of bending.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
A company gets a capital authorization request approved and the company makes several changes to the process that significantly alter the tasks the worker must do. This would would not be a sufficient reason to revise the JSA/JHAs because the same workers are still working on the newly modified line.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Any change to a workers required tasks, trigger the requirement to conduct a new JHA.Rate this question:

-
Personal Protective Equipment
-
Lock-out/Tag Out
-
Powered Industrial Vehicles
Correct Answer
A. Personal Protective EquipmentExplanation
OSHA requires that a formal JSA/JHA be conducted for any job that has the potential to cause harm. Although this requirement technically comes from the OSHA standard for PPE found in 1910.132(d)(2); OSHA interprets this to mean that JSA/JHAs must be conducted, communicated & documented.Rate this question:
