Why job safety analyses work

Article Abstract:

Job Hazard Analyses (JSA) help companies to be aware of the hazards that may be associated with every workplace task. The concept of JSA requires active employee participation wherein employees need to present their supervisors with a comprehensive evaluation of their tasks and the hazards that may be encountered in doing those tasks. The JSA form to be filled out by employees need to contain information how to perform the task, the dangers related with each step and recommendations on how to minimize or eliminate those hazards.

Safety and human resources go hand in hand

Article Abstract:

Human resource managers and safety professionals are required to coordinate with each other to establish an organizational culture that fosters safety. They should cooperate in formulating and implementing organizational safety and health policies that would provide a framework on how to adequately address worker safety and health issues. Safety and human resource managers also need to help in educating management and employees on how to lessen workplace injuries and illnesses to decrease workers-compensation costs.
