Introduction
This guide is designed to teach you about the hazards management process and the way it is deployed during a formal Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) in the workplace. The guide complements the Working for Excellence training programme but it can also be used as a stand-alone reference for use by people who have not undertaken training.
Step 1: Identifying hazards

A hazard is something with the potential to cause harm. Hazards are usually some kind of source of energy. For example, we can be harmed by electricity which is clearly a form of energy. We can also be harmed by falling or moving objects (e.g., hit by a car); in such cases it is the physical energy involved in the motion of the object that causes harm. We can also be harmed if we come in contact with hazardous chemicals like acids, caustic soda, or toxic gases. Chemicals contain chemical energy and it is this property that harms us.
It is important to note that hazards have the potential to cause harm but so long as they are controlled, we are generally safe. Managing hazards is all about ensuring that we have the necessary controls in place to ensure that the hazards cannot harm us. Furthermore, it is important to realize that harm can take many forms and includes: Harm to people in the form of injury, illness, death or psychological trauma; Harm to property and equipment in the form of loss or damage; Harm to the environment from spills or contamination; and Harm to our nances or reputations through such things as nes, jail and being sued. Using the bow-tie concept, once we have identied the sources of hazardous energy that have the potential to cause harm, the next step is then to identify the threats that could release the hazardous energy so that it goes out of control.
The hazard management process

The hazards management process is one of the easiest processes to implement. In order to be used successfully, however, you need to understand what to do; and to then practice its implementation in every activity that you do in your working life and your home life outside work. The basic hazards management process involves three simple steps.
Types of Hazards
Safety professionals have attempted to classify the various types of hazards that we routinely face and the table below illustrates one way that we can classify different types of hazards.
Energy type Physical sources of energy
Forms of energy
Moving objects like cars and airplanes Moving people when walking or running Falling objects like dropped tools Heat and hot surfaces Hot liquids Moving or rotating parts like saw blades or drills Pressurized systems like ow lines or canisters
Examples of harm
Collisions - injuries Slip, trips and falls injury Struck by object injury Burns Scalds Cuts and amputation Fires and explosions Chemical burns Poisoning from fumes Death Asphyxiation Strains and sprains and occupational overuse syndrome (OOS) Burns Sunburn Eye damage Cancer Cancer Cancer Burns Radiation burns Electric shock Sparking Death Cuts and poisoning Illness and disease Sabotage Physical assault Suicide Property damage Swept away Property damage Death and injury Heat and cold stress
These involve: 1. Identifying the hazards involved with the activity to be undertaken; 2. Assessing the risks associated with the activity; and then 3. Developing the right controls to keep you safe and to recover if something should go wrong.
Process
Chemical sources of energy
Hazardous substances like acids and caustics Toxic metals like lead and mercury Poisons like cyanide or arsenic Harmful gases like H2S or CO2 Energy contained within our bodies and used in our bones, muscles, joints and tendons to direct posture and bodily movements Radiant heat from re, electric grills, etc. Solar radiation from sunlight Ultraviolet and infra-red rays X-rays Cosmic rays Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMS)
Ergonomic sources of energy
The bow-tie concept

A slightly more sophisticated way of visualizing the hazards management process is to picture what safety professionals call the hazards management bow-tie.
Radiation sources of energy
Threats Incidents
Consequences
Micro-waves Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
Electrical sources of energy

Hazards
AC/DC power, high, medium and low voltage Static electricity Lightning Sources of bites and stings (e.g., snakes, nettles) Viruses and bacteria Motivations and intentions
Biological sources of energy
Psychological sources Mood states (e.g., fatigue, depression) of energy

Prevention Controls Mitigation Controls
Attitudes and values (e.g., risk taking)
Environmental sources Winds Tides, rips and Tsunamis of energy

River currents Earthquakes and volcanos Storms and cyclones
As indicated above, the rst step in the hazard management process is to identify the hazards involved in the activity. As such it is vital that you understand what hazards are.
Temperature differences
Introduction
What are threats?
Threats are conditions, actions or things which can cause a source of hazardous energy to be released. Some examples are shown in this table:
Step 2: Assessing the risks

When using the bow-tie concept, it is vital for you to understand and identify the hazards involved in an activity and to appreciate the threats, events and consequences which could result from a release of hazardous energy. Once we recognize that information, we are then in a position to move on to step two of the hazard management process. We can now assess the risk. This involves considering two key pieces of information. Firstly, the risk assessment involves considering the consequences of a release of hazardous energy during an incident, in terms of the severity of any negative or unwanted harm. For instance, we could ask how many people could be killed or injured; how much money will be lost due to equipment damage or an operational shutdown; or how badly could the environment or company reputation be harmed? Secondly, the risk assessment involves considering how likely is the potential for a release of hazardous energy that is what is the chance or probability that an incident could occur during the work task? By considering the two pieces of information the size or scale of the negative consequences and the likelihood or chance that an incident could occur, we are then able to make an assessment of risk in the job. An easy way to assess risk is by reference to an Event Potential Matrix (sometimes called a risk matrix). The risk matrix assists us during the risk assessment because it helps us to consider the severity of consequences (low, medium or high severity) and the likelihood of an incident occurring (remote chance, possible or probable). Using the risk matrix shown above, we can see that if during the course of a work activity an incident is unlikely to occur (remote chance), but if it does occur it will not have very severe consequences then it is low risk (A). Conversely, if we do a job and an incident is almost certain to occur (probable chance) and the consequences are likely to be very severe (high consequence), then the risk for the job is very high (B). You can probably see that such a risk assessment helps us to establish the level of controls that are required to keep us safe and to prioritize actions to be taken. Risk assessment is important because we decide if we want to manage the hazards to prevent unwanted incidents and their negative consequences from developing. If we decide that we do want to manage the risk, we can then implement step three of the hazard management process by developing and implementing appropriate controls.
Step 3: Developing controls

The bow-tie concept helps us to understand that controls come in two basic types. The rst types are called prevention controls. As the name suggests, prevention controls assist us to prevent an incident from occurring in the rst place. Prevention controls prevent incidents by making sure that threats are adequately controlled and hazardous energy is not released. For example, if excessive speed is a threat when driving a vehicle, a prevention control is to slow down to a speed appropriate to the conditions. A second type of controls is necessary, however, because we cannot always guarantee that we can prevent an incident from occurring. For example, we could be driving our own car very safely but a drunk driver could always crash into us. In such circumstances, where we have not been able to prevent the incident from occurring, we require a second type of controls that will help us to minimize the consequences of the event and regain control of the situation. We call these controls mitigation and recovery controls because they mitigate the harmful energy released during an incident and recover the situation. In our car crash example, mitigation and recovery controls would include such things as wearing seatbelts to prevent injury from the crash, or driving a car with airbags for the same reason. Other mitigation and recovery controls would include carrying a rst aid kit and being rst aid trained, having a re extinguisher, hazard warning lights and a safety triangle and carrying a high-visibility vest, torch, spare tyre and parts.

A further useful concept that helps us to ensure that we have selected and implemented the best available controls to reduce risk is to consider how our controls t within the hierarchy of control.
Example
Let us use car-driving as an example of how a threat relates to a hazard. When we drive a car, we are exposed to several sources of hazardous energy with the potential to cause harm to us. Such sources of hazardous energy include the motion of the vehicle; the chemicals in the vehicle like petrol, brake uid, battery acids and oils and greases; and electricity. In each case, there are a number of threats that can lead the hazardous energy to be released and cause some type of harm. For example, snow and ice on the road, being drunk or fatigued, and driving too fast for the conditions can all cause the motion of the vehicle to go out of control; poor maintenance can lead to loss of containment of petrol, brake uid and battery acid; and worn cables can lead to short-circuits and res in the vehicle electrical systems. To reiterate: hazards have the potential to cause harm when they are released by a threat. When a hazard is uncontrollably-released it leads to an unsafe incident.

Probable highly likely
What is an incident?
An incident is an occurrence or event where hazardous energy is released and goes out of control. Following up on our car driving example; incidents include skidding, collisions, roll-overs, break-downs, getting lost, res, electrical short-circuits, car-jacking, road-rage and so on. In nearly all circumstances, an incident will result in some kind of unwanted harm. The harm is what safety professionals call consequences.
What are consequences?

Consequences are the negative and unwanted outcomes of an unplanned release of hazardous energy during an incident. For example, the consequence of a vehicle collision may be injury or death to the driver, equipment damage to the vehicle and nancial loss resulting from repairs or police nes. Other consequences of a car crash could be psychological trauma, being sent to jail, or being sued by third-parties who are harmed.
The hierarchy of control suggests to us that prevention controls and mitigation and recovery controls can be classied into ve general sub-types. These are called elimination, substitution, engineering, administration and personal protection equipment (PPE) controls. The basic idea behind the hierarchy of control is to suggest that some types of controls are better than others at minimizing risk by managing hazards and keeping us safe.
Introduction
Elimination Personal Protective Equipment
The last level of control in the hierarchy, and often the last barrier between a person and a hazard is personal protective equipment. PPE is worn or used by people to ensure they do not come into direct contact with a hazard. For example; we could wear masks to prevent inhalation of harmful dusts and bres; we could use condoms to prevent the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases; and we could wear coveralls to prevent skin contact with oils and greases. Common types of PPE include: Safety helmets; Mono-goggles; Toe-capped footwear; Gloves; Aprons; Insect repellent; and Barrier creams.
Using the hazards management workbook

This workbook is designed to demonstrate to you the hazards, threats, potential incidents and consequences, and the prevention and mitigation and recovery controls associated with a number of relatively high-risk and frequently-performed work and non-work tasks. The work tasks have been included in this book because history tells us that they are frequently associated with injuries and fatalities. The non-work tasks are included because we want you and your family to be safe every minute of every day. Hazards management information for each activity is presented on a single page and it is presented in the form of a bow-tie diagram. The bow-tie diagrams are designed to be used by you when you are developing job plans or conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) prior to the start of a job.
According to the hierarchy, the best way to control a hazard or hazardous activity is to eliminate it completely. This is often very difcult to do in real life; but whenever possible, we should attempt to develop controls that eliminate hazards because if the hazardous source of energy is no longer present then clearly it cannot harm us. For example; we could reduce risk and eliminate the hazards associated with the use of ladders to gain access to an area by building an enclosed stairway with appropriate step-heights, walls, lighting and handrails. In a vehicle maintenance workshop, we could eliminate the hazards associated with mechanically lifting a vehicle by instead constructing a below ground access pit. If the car is parked on the ground, it cannot possibly fall.
Substitution
The next best way to control hazards is to use methods of substitution. Substitution involves replacing one type of hazardous energy with something else that is inherently less hazardous. For example, we can often substitute a highly-hazardous chemical for something less hazardous that still does the same job. In vehicles for example, we could substitute engines from running on highly ammable petrol for less ammable diesel fuel. We can also often substitute the same chemical in a different and less hazardous form. For example, substituting a liquid for a solid may reduce risk. Some common substitution examples are shown below: Substitute a ladder for a mobile platform (e.g., cherry-picker); Substitute a mobile platform for a xed scaffold; Substitute car travel by use of public transport or by ying (over long distances); Substitute high voltage for low-voltage powered hand-tools.
Completing a Job Hazard Analysis

As stated earlier, this book is designed to help you to complete a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for the activities undertaken by you in your work. A JHA is the application of the hazards management process at the task level and it is appropriate for any task where hazards and control measures need to be formally assessed. It is usual for a JHA to be a team exercise involving two or more people; and led by a Supervisor or someone trained in the JHA process. Tasks of more complexity or those with higher risks may involve HSE Advisers. The JHA developed by the work team will usually require the approval of a facility supervisor or other nominated person prior to work beginning.
Summary of the hazard management process

In all activities, it is essential that you spend some time in identifying sources of hazardous energy that could cause harm to you, your colleagues or family, the environment, or equipment you are using. You then need to identify and understand the types of threats that could cause the hazardous sources of energy to be released during an incident and what negative consequences could happen. Once you have identied the hazards and understand the threats, and the potential incidents and the consequences associated with the activity, you can then assess the risk and make informed decisions about how to manage the activity so that all people, equipment and the environment are protected. To manage the risk, you must then ensure that high-quality controls are developed and implemented.
When to complete a JHA

The most common applications of JHA occur under the following circumstances: 1. When routine tasks have the potential for serious incidents; 2. When routine tasks have a history of incidents or near-misses (high-potential incidents); 3. When new tasks are being undertaken or new work methods are introduced; 4. When routine tasks are to be performed in unusual circumstances (e.g., at night); 5. When non-routine or one-off tasks are to be performed; and 6. When verication of an established work procedure is required.
Engineering
If we cannot eliminate the sources of hazardous energy or substitute them for something inherently less hazardous then our next level of control is to implement engineering controls. Using engineering controls involves implementing things that are specically designed with the purpose of reducing risk in mind. When driving a car for example; engineering controls that help to keep us safe include anti-lock breaks (ABS), airbags, seatbelts, cargo barriers, roll bars, side impact bars and crumple-zones that are built into the vehicle. All are engineered to keep us safe. Other common examples include: Handrails on stairs; Kickboards on scaffolds; Designated walkways on site; Guards on machines; Barricades around edges; Screens around welding work; and Fixed anchor points at height.
Key denitions
Hazard Threat Incidents Consequence Prevention controls Mitigation and recovery controls A hazard is something with the potential to cause harm. Hazards are usually some kind of source of energy. Threats are conditions, actions or things which can cause a source of hazardous energy to be released. An incident is an occurrence or event where hazardous energy is released and goes out of control. Consequences are the negative and unwanted outcomes of an unplanned release of hazardous energy during an incident. Assist us to prevent an incident from occurring in the rst place. Mitigate the harmful energy released during an incident and recover the situation.
Administration
The next level of controls in the hierarchy are called administrative controls. Administrative controls include the implementation of procedures and guidelines as well as some personal behaviours that we implement out of habit. Examples include provision of training; conducting a JHA prior to a job; following a standard operating procedure for a specic task; washing hands prior to eating food; and avoiding drink driving. Other examples include: Ensuring equipment meets approved standards; Ensuring chemicals are used in accordance with a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS); Visually inspecting power cables before using powered hand tools; and Ensuring employees are appropriately certied to do higher-risk tasks (e.g., conned space entry).
