Conduct A Hazard Analysis And Issue Work Permits

These units cover the skills and knowledge required to conduct a hazard analysis and issue work permits.

A hazard analysis is typically called a job safety analysis (JSA), job hazard analysis (JHA), job safety & environ-mental analysis (JSEA) or a safe work method statement (SWMS).

This might be done as an independent activity in order to identify hazards and the appropriate hazard controls, or it might be done as part of a broader process, such as identifying and applying for the permits required for a job.

Learners will also develop an understanding of the permit system and the limitations of each permit and making decisions regarding the need for and correct use of each permit.

The knowledge and skills acquired through this training are essential for personnel who are required to issue appropriate permits to work to persons conducting a variety of activities in workplace environments in which hazards exist or specific procedures need to be followed and monitored to protect the safety of personnel and the integrity of plant or process.
