A job safety assessment or analysis should be performed at the start of any task or operation. The designated competent or authorized person should evaluate the task or operation to identify potential hazards and determine the necessary controls. This assessment should focus on actual worksite conditions or procedures that differ from or were not anticipated in the related project or phase hazard analysis. In addition, the authorized person should ensure that each employee involved in the task or operation is aware of the hazards related to the task or operation and of the measures or procedures that workers and visitors must use to protect themselves. Note The job safety assessment is not intended to be a formal, documented analysis, but instead is more of a quick check of actual site conditions and a review of planned procedures and precautions. A more detailed explanation of job safety analysis is provided in Chapter 12. 

Conduct periodic surveys at least annually (or whenever there are operation changes) to identify new or previously unnoticed risks and deficiencies and to assess the effects of changes in the building designs, work processes, patient services, and security practices. Evaluation and analysis of information gathered, and incorporation of all this information into a plan of correction and ongoing surveillance, should be the result of the worksite analysis.

Each company may require different types of hazard analyses, depending on the company s role, the size and complexity of the worksite, and the nature of associated hazards. The company may choose to use a project hazard analysis, a phase hazard analysis, or job safety assessment.
