Kennedy/Jenks Consultants Section 5: Hazard Assessment 5.1 Potential Physical & Environmental Hazards Every job must be scrutinized for potential hazards which may cause an injury or an accident. The preferred method of assessing a job for hazards is to break down each job into smaller tasks. Each task may then be scrutinized by performing a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). While a documented JHA is not required, the K/J JHA Form provides examples to assist employees in performing their own JHA. The JHA process is intended to provide a brief, consistent means of identifying and addressing hazards which may injure employees. Potential hazards may include, but are not limited to the following: • Heavy Equipment • Tripping and Falling Hazards • Heat Stress 5.1.1 Heavy Equipment Field personnel should be cognizant of potential physical hazards associated with use of heavy equipment and electrical equipment during field operations. Appropriate precautions include the following: • ANSI-approved hardhats, Class II reflective safety vests, safety glasses or goggles, and steel-toe boots will be worn. • Loose clothing that may catch in moving parts will not be worn. • Hearing protection will be worn if a preliminary noise survey or past experience indicates that maximum noise levels will exceed 85 decibels at any time during site operations. Prior to conducting drilling, a survey shall be conducted to identify overhead electrical hazards and potential ground hazards, such as hazardous agents in the soil or underground utilities. 5.1.2 Tripping and Falling Hazards Other potential physical hazards include falling and tripping on slippery, uneven, or unpaved surfaces. K/J personnel will not step on rails.
