Kennedy/Jenks Consultants <br />Section 5: Hazard Assessment <br />5.1 Potential Physical & Environmental Hazards <br />Every job must be scrutinized for potential hazards, which may cause an injury, illness, property <br />damage, or an near miss incident. The preferred method of assessing a job for hazards is to <br />break down each job into smaller tasks. Each task may then be scrutinized by performing a <br />JHA. <br />While a documented JHA is not required, Kennedy/Jenks Consultants JHA form provides <br />examples to assist employees in performing their own JHA. The JHA process is intended to <br />provide a brief, consistent means of identifying and addressing hazards, which may injure <br />employees. <br />Potential hazards may include, but are not limited to, the following: <br />Heavy equipment <br />Excavations and Trench work <br />Confined Space Entry <br />Chemical exposure <br />Fire/explosion hazard <br />Tripping and falling hazards <br />Heat stress <br />Cold exposure <br />Vehicular traffic <br />5.1.1 Heavy Equipment <br />Field personnel should be cognizant of potential physical hazards associated with use of heavy <br />equipment and electrical equipment during field operations.
