Explosives Worker Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Worksheet

It should come as no surprise that handling and working with explosives can be quite dangerous - whether a worker operates in confined spaces with explosive materials, is involved in the transportation of explosives, or handles ordnance removal and demolition, or IED removal (Improvised Explosive Devices), these workers are subject to great stresses and dangers. In many cases, explosives safety measures can be used to more or less mitigate the dangers to one's health and safety that comes from handling explosives. However, to ensure the overall safety and health of explosives workers in a company, as well as other workers that may be on a job site, use of this app can help to identify all job steps and job tasks, the risks associated with those steps, and the implementation of occupational safety training and hazard controls to ensure potential hazards are largely reduced or eliminated. Furthermore, this app prompts users to utilize proper personal protective equipment (PPE), and can be a major part of a company's occupational safety and health plan.
