Job Hazard Analysis Training

This virtual training was created in response to a request from the Shipyard Subcommittee to help frontline supervisors strengthen their ability to conduct effective pre-shift safety assessments.

While Members may use different terms—such as JHA, JSA, or AHA—the goal is the same: to identify potential hazards associated with a task, evaluate their likelihood and severity, and determine the most effective controls to reduce risk. To do this well, supervisors need a solid understanding of each component of the assessment process.

The training is provided at no cost and comes in two or three attachments. One is an Administrative Guide with step-by-step instructions for implementation. The other files are formatted for easy integration into web-based or LMS-based training platforms. The program takes about one hour to complete and includes a practical exercise where participants complete a sample JHA for a task they know. Afterward, they submit their JHA to a supervisor for feedback and coaching—making it important for supervisors to be familiar with the training as well.
