SST 1-Hour Job Hazard Analysis

About This Course s-mod-info

At construction sites, different tasks are often done at the same time in a small space. This busy work environment is always changing, and workers can often face risks like falls, machinery injuries, and electrocutions.

A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a key part of a Health and Safety Program that aims to address these risks at an organizational level, preventing injuries. This course explains why conducting a JHA is important, looking at the relationship between the worker, task, tools, and environment. It also covers how to assess hazards and monitor the effectiveness of a JHA.

You will earn 1 hour of general elective credit toward earning or renewing your Site Safety Training (SST) card upon completion of this course.  

Upon completing lessons and passing the 10-question final exam with a minimum 75% score, receive an immediate certificate of completion. Three attempts are given for passing the final.

Note that THIS TRAINING IS AWARENESS-LEVEL ONLY and does not provide any other qualification or authorization outside of the Site Safety Training Card.

Your employers must create Job Hazard Analyses and prepare you for the work you perform.
