Routine Jobs

In routine or repetitive jobs with inherent hazards, the employee is exposed repeatedly to hazards. For example, exposures to high levels of noise over a period of time will affect the hearing of a worker. 

Accident statistics, the ability to recognize hazards, and good common sense coupled with the guidelines that have been discussed will help you prioritize which JSA/JHA should be developed first. The goal is that all jobs with sequential steps will ultimately be analyzed. New jobs will be analyzed as they are introduced into the workplace. 

Prime candidates for JSA/JHA, result fiom jobs, which are not done often and some have never been done, at a particular worksite. The hazards ofthejob might not be fully known. By applying the JSA/JHA process to these jobs, the likelihood of an accident occurring is greatly reduced.

The computer has become an essential tool in biochemical research. A computer may be used for the routine jobs of word processing and data collection and analysis. In addition, if a computer is connected to the Internet, then it may be used for biochemical literature searching, accessing information about nucleic acid and protein sequences, predicting protein structure, and seeking research methodology. In this experiment, students will be introduced to all of these skills in bioinformatics. 

Each response has its physical sense and its dimension. To join such models, it is first necessary to introduce a non dimensional scale for each response. The scale must be of the same kind for all responses that are generalized. The choice of the scale is not a routine job and it depends on preliminary information we have about the responses and on the precision which is required from the general response. 

I gradually discovered that it was not the intention to employ me as a chemist but as a woman chemist. .. I was expected to do all the boring, routine jobs. .. while anything interesting was handed to one of the men. .. The routine work increased enormously in quantity and I took pride in perfecting my technique. .. thinking it must surely win promotion that way. This did not materialize so, by superhuman efforts and late work, I got some research done which was successful and I was allowed to publish it. .. 

Although widely used by the men, Bashilange women were rarely allowed to smoke cannabis. The prohibition was a matter of tribal policy and reflected the position of the female in Bashilange society. It was she who was required to perform all the routine jobs in the village and her busy schedule allowed her no time for idleness, especially of the kind endengered by dagga. 

In World War II, gas was not a significant threat. The first volume of Neuropsychiatry in World War II, part of the official history of World War II issued by the Office of The Surgeon General, does not discuss difficulties with the protective mask as a problem leading to psychiatric disability.7 Similarly in the Korean and Vietnam wars, gas posed little danger. Until 1990 and the outbreak of the Persian Gulf War, if a soldier in a routine job could not wear the protective mask, that fact was often ignored by the chain of command. 

Major exceptions to a routine job should be noted if they are significant generally an exception will be analyzed as a separate benchmark job, along with an estimate of time required for such repair. This portion of the procedure ensures that the work content of each benchmark job is clearly defined so that each person doing the estimating has the same understanding about the nature and scope of the job. When the benchmark jobs are finally categorized into spreadsheets, the work content description developed in this step is used as key information about the bench job on the spreadsheet. 

Everyone involved in welding operations must take necessary precautions to prevent fires, explosions, or personal injuries. Even for small or routine jobs, you should always follow established safety procedures and resist the temptation to take shortcuts. 

When performing a worksite analysis, all hazards should be identified. This means conducting comprehensive baseline worksite surveys for safety and health and periodic comprehensive updated surveys. Companies must analyze planned and new facilities, processes, materials, and equipment, as well as perform routine job hazard analyses. This also means that regular site safety and health inspections should be conducted so that new or previously missed hazards and failures in hazard controls are identified. 

Establishing the planning and analysis concept is emphasized here, with a caution against creating burdensome procedures and reports for simplistic non-routine jobs. For those jobs, if it became the accepted practice that workers think through the job to be done and plan the work methods, discuss the hazards and risks, and determine whether the risks are or are not acceptable, that would be a highly favorable accomplishment. 

Hazard analyses should be conducted on routine jobs, tasks and proces ses that ... 

You will be able to determine if one or more hazard analysis systems designed to address routine job, process, or phase hazards are in place at the facility. 

No system or reqnirement exists for hazard review of planned/changed/new operations. There is no evidence of a comprehensive snrvey for safety or health hazards or for routine job hazard analysis. 

When a physician or HCP recommends restricted work, record it only if it affects one or more of the employee s routine job functions. To determine whether this is the case, evaluate the restriction in light of the routine functions of the injured or ill employee s job. If the restriction from you or the physician/HCP keeps the employee from performing one or... 

If a physician/HCP recommends vague restrictions, such as that the employee engage only in light duty or take it easy for a week, you should ask that person whether the employee can do all of his or her routine job functions and work all of his or her normally assigned work shift. If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then the case does not involve a work restriction and does not have to be recorded as such. However, if the answer to one or both of these questions is no, the case involves restricted work and must be recorded as a restricted work case. In cases where you are unable to get clarification from the physician/ HCP who recommended the restriction, record the injury or illness as a case involving restricted work. 

When a physician/HCP recommends a job restriction meeting OSHA s definition, but the employee does all of his or her routine job functions an3rway, you still must record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log as a restricted work case. If job restrictions are recommended, ensure that the employee complies with that restriction. If you receive recommendations from two or more physicians/HCPs, decide which recommendation is the most authoritative, and record the case based on that recommendation. 

For example, if you assign, or a physician/HCP recommends that you assign, an injured or ill worker to his or her routine job duties for part of the day and to another job for the rest of the day, the injury or illness involves a job transfer.
