Job Hazard Analysis – Canada Training Course

Workplace tasks can involve hazards that are not always obvious, making systematic hazard identification an essential part of workplace safety. This Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) – Canada Training Course provides practical guidance on breaking jobs into individual steps, identifying potential hazards, and selecting appropriate controls to help prevent workplace injuries.

Participants will learn how to conduct job hazard analyses, involve frontline workers in hazard identification, apply the hierarchy of controls, and recognize changing workplace conditions that may introduce new risks. The course also examines Canadian occupational health and safety requirements and the role of job hazard assessments in supporting safer work practices.

Designed for safety coordinators, environmental health and safety (EHS) professionals, facility supervisors, joint health and safety committee (JHSC) members, and employees involved in workplace hazard assessments, this training provides a foundation for identifying and controlling task-related risks in Canadian workplaces.

Training Objectives

• Apply the hierarchy of controls to reduce or eliminate identified workplace hazards
• Break jobs into sequential steps to identify potential task-related risks
• Involve frontline workers in recognizing workplace hazards and changing conditions
• Understand the purpose and process of conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
• Recognize the relationship between job hazard assessments and Canadian occupational health and safety requirements
• Understand how safety procedures and permits can support hazard control activities

Course Overview

Workplace tasks across Canadian industries can involve hazards that are easily overlooked, particularly when employees become familiar with routine activities. From construction and industrial operations to maintenance and facility work, even simple tasks can expose workers to falls, electrical hazards, equipment-related injuries, and other potential dangers. Without a systematic approach to identifying risks, minor oversights can lead to serious injuries, operational disruptions, and workplace safety concerns.

This training provides an introduction to Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), also commonly referred to as Job Safety Analysis (JSA), task hazard analysis, or job hazard assessment. Participants will learn how this process helps organizations identify potential hazards before work begins and establish appropriate controls to reduce the likelihood of workplace incidents.

The course examines how to break a job into manageable, sequential steps and evaluate the potential hazards associated with each activity. Learners will explore the importance of involving frontline workers in the assessment process, as employees performing the work often have valuable knowledge of routine tasks, equipment, and changing site conditions. By examining each step of a job, organizations can identify risks that might otherwise go unnoticed.

A key component of the training is understanding the hierarchy of controls and how it can be applied to workplace hazard assessments. Participants will review the different control methods, including eliminating hazards, substituting hazardous materials or processes, implementing engineering controls, establishing administrative procedures, and using personal protective equipment (PPE). The course explains why selecting appropriate controls is essential to reducing workplace risks.

The program also explores how job hazard assessments can work alongside other workplace safety procedures and permits. Topics include lockout/tagout, confined space entry, and fall protection, as well as the importance of reviewing hazards when work activities or site conditions change. Participants will gain a better understanding of how ongoing assessments help maintain effective safety controls throughout a task.

The course also introduces the Canadian occupational health and safety framework, including federal requirements under Part II of the Canada Labour Code and the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, along with applicable provincial and territorial workplace safety requirements.

By understanding how to conduct job hazard analyses, recognize task-related risks, and select appropriate controls, employees and organizations can strengthen hazard prevention practices and support safer workplace operations.
