Job and task

In addition, projeet teams should eneourage the use of health and safety prineiples in the day-to-day jobs and tasks of all workers whieh allows work to be done safely, on time, and within budget [4]. 

Identify jobs and tasks that require hazard analyses. 

Integrate hazard analyses to identify worker hazards and to provide a basis for speeifieation of job and task hazard eontrols. (The upeoming seetion eovering hazard eharaeterization and exposure assessment will provide some suggestions on effeetive ways of eondueting hazard analyses using the HAZWOPER job, task, and hazard analysis approaeh [1].)... 

Health and safety planning and implementation emphasize jobs and tasks. Many DOE or Army Corps of Engineers sites have an established work control system (WCS) that is focused at the job and task level. Workers are familiar with the WCS and understand its content because each work-task package includes checklists and permits. This is a normal part of daily work. The WCS is a practical vehicle for managing and conducting these activities and supports the HASP by providing a mechanism to accomplish the following ... 

Providing health and safety planning for site-specific projects, at the job and task levels. 

The HASP focuses on the specific tasks down to the worksite level and identifies job- and task-based hazards, exposure-monitoring requirements, hazard controls and approaches, requirements necessary to protect workers, and, sometimes, the name of the person responsible for a certain activity. 

The SSAHP developed by the Site G contractor did not indicate that the contractors routinely conducted job- or task-specific hazard analyses. In addition, the SSAHP did not specify that PPE selection for jobs and tasks must be based on the analysis of the health hazards associated with each job. Eurthermore, the SSAHP contained no procedures for objectively determining the effectiveness of decontamination of personnel or equipment. The decontamination program required incineration of all materials that could not be readily decontaminated such materials were placed in labeled disposal containers. The program, however, did... 

On the resources side, there are obviously upper limits on human capabilities in these areas. However, these capabilities will be considerably enhanced if the jobs and tasks are designed to utilize human capabilities effectively, if teams are constituted properly in terms of roles, and if personnel with sufficient capability (through training and selection) are available. In addition, these resources will be made more effective if an appropriate culture... 

In general, little use is made in the process industry of more sophisticated approaches such as job and task analysis (see Chapter 4) to define the mental and physical skills required for specific types of work, and to tailor the training program accordingly. Instead, informal on-the-job training is common, even in more complex types of work such as control room tasks. Although the necessary skills will eventually be acquired by this process, its inefficiency... 

Job and task analysis. This involves applying techniques such as hierarchical task analysis (see Chapter 4) to provide a comprehensive description of the work for which training is required. The task analysis provides essential information on the content of training. 

The lessons of engagement and flow are rather interesting, and some might be tempted to call them yet other platitudes. Yet, love of work (engagement) and interwoven complexity (flow) are not particularly common themes. In fact, many people get it exactly backward. Many people say that they will work at jobs and tasks they don t like so they can earn enough money to do what they love millionaires and successful, happy people the world over know this to be largely 180 out of phase. 

Practical instruction in job and task requirements and methods. Training may be provided in a classroom or at the workplace, and its objective is to enable workers to meet some minimum initial performance standards, to maintain their proficiency, or to qualify for promotion to a more demanding position. 

There is little information on exposure-response relationships for the induction of asthma. There are several explanations for this. Estimates of workers chemical exposure are needed, which usually require a sampling survey of representative current exposures and assessment of past exposure. Making use of measurements made to document compliance with regulations is rarely sufficient because such measurements generally focus only on those jobs and tasks likely to cause violations of occupational standards.

Safety analysis (hazard analysis) The entire complex of safety (hazard) analysis methods and techniques ranging from relatively informal job and task safety analyses to large complex safety analysis studies and reports (SSDC). 

Even if OSHA or your state does not require an I2P2, OSHA encourages construction employers to institute and maintain a program that provides the systematic identification, evaluation, and prevention or control of worksite hazards and the hazards of specific jobs and tasks. The elements of an effective I2P2 include ... 

CTA seeks to promote appropriate job and task design, suitable physical environments and workspaces, human-machine interfaces and the appropriate selection, training and motivation of the humans involved. At the detailed level CTA examines how the design of human-computer interactions can foster the efficient transmission of information between the human and machine, in a form suitable for the task demands and human physical and cognitive capabilities.

Those people recruiting staff should be familiar with the job and task specifications likely to affect health and safety. The organization should also ensure that it is complying with eqnal opportnnity and anti-discrimination legislation. 

A JHA is a written procedure that you can use to review job methods and identify hazards that may have been overlooked during initial task design, process changes, and the like. A JHA is a systematic method of identifying jobs and tasks to help pinpoint hazards associated with the task and developing procedures that will help reduce or eliminate identified risks. You can also use JHAs to document changes in a workplace and provide consistent training. 

Ergonomic Job Analysis/Analyzer (EJA)— An analysis tool used to evaluate jobs and tasks to rate them by level of ergonomic risk.
