Chemical Plant Operator Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Worksheet

This app can be used effectively in a laboratory setting, or a larger scale chemical production plant. Chemical plant workers may be subject to a wide range of potential hazards in their jobs, many of which can be addressed and mitigated by the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), regular risk assessment checks, and training in proper use of materials and equipment in all chemical operations. Some of the potential hazards can include chemical reactions in a confined space without ventilation, unexpected chemical reactions, chemical spills, and more. Performing a job safety analysis or job hazard analysis in a chemical plant can help to reduce claims for workers' compensation, promote health and safety by ensuring job steps are analyzed thoroughly, with an in depth look at each job task, and that proper hazard controls and control measures are put in place to create a safe work environment.
