1. Job Safety Analysis (JSA): JSA is a systematic process of identifying hazards and evaluating the risks associated with specific tasks or jobs. It involves observing the work process, identifying potential hazards, and developing control measures to eliminate or minimize those hazards.
2. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA): HIRA is a comprehensive approach to identifying hazards, assessing their potential risks, and developing appropriate control measures. It involves conducting a risk assessment, which includes identifying hazards, evaluating the likelihood of occurrence and the potential severity of consequences, and prioritizing risks for further action.
3. Inspections: Inspections involve visually examining the workplace, equipment, and processes to identify potential hazards. This can be done regularly or as part of a specific hazard identification program. Inspections should be conducted by trained and competent individuals who are familiar with the workplace and the potential hazards associated with the activities being performed.
