Any change of work method
Any change of procedures & works instruction
Any client or regulatory mandatory requirement.

2 RESPONSIBILITIES
The responsibility of issuing and reviewing the Job Hazard Analysis rests with the Brierty Area Supervisor or

It is the responsibility of the site Supervisor to ensure that the above safe systems of work as well as any site
requirements for hazard recognition is complied with and undertaken before the task is started.
It is the responsibility of the workers or their Safety Representative to be involved in the development of
JHAs.
3 PROCEDURE DETAILS
3.1 WHEN TO CONDUCT A JHA
It is the responsibility of the Supervisor directly in charge of the job to ensure a JHA is completed when
required by the system.
The workers (Including subcontractors) or their Safety Representative must be involved in the development
of the site specific JHAs.
All jobs are subject to a JHA, however due to the practical constraints of the time and effort required, a job to
be analysed shall be identified and given priority on the following basis:

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROCEDURE
The steps are to be recorded in the correct sequence otherwise the analysis may be invalid, due to missing
potential hazards or by introducing hazards which don’t exist.
Record each step in sequence, noting WHAT is to be done, not HOW by observing the usual worker doing
the job under normal conditions where possible. This may indicate that you can do the job.
Commence the recording of each step with a verb, e.g. lift, turn, open, close, etc.
Record the steps in the left-hand column of the work sheet and when complete validate the sequence of
steps by checking the steps with other workers who are familiar with the job.

Brierty’s preference is to use the risk matrix shown below (where Client approval can be obtained) as
it is more intuitive and easier to understand for personnel new to the industry.

When identifying and selecting controls and preventative measures, it is preferred to place hard controls
such as Eliminate, Substitute, Redesign and Separate, as these are physical barriers for improvement. Soft
controls such as Administration and PPE are the last resort.

3.6.7 Follow-up
Once the JHA is completed and all identified hazards have been considered and controls determined, the
designated nominee who conducted the JHA shall forward it to the Supervisor for review and approval. The
Supervisor can then determine whether the JHA has captured the appropriate information or not. If the
Supervisor is satisfied the JHA meets the criteria, they are to sign off the JHA in the appropriate section.
The Supervisor shall be responsible for ensuring the implementation is on a consultative basis with
employees, and where appropriate, with the site OH&S Representative or Safety Department.
3.6.8 Recording
The Project Manager or Nominee shall ensure that all approved JHA’s are filed and are to be maintained by
the site.
ALL Subcontractor JHAs must be reviewed using the checklist and signed off.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROCEDURE
The Supervisor can ensure that the work method is being under taken as per the JHA by inspecting
the work areas and referring to the JHA for compliance; this will assist with the Safe Acts
Observation Process.
The intention of these Compact Cards is to make available a quick and easy reference to assist all personnel
capturing the ‘Key Points’ of the Safe Work Procedures.
It is highly recommended that the full procedures are read by Management and any personnel performing
the task covered by the Compact Card if there are any discrepancies.
Compact Cards shall be utilised when compiling JHA’s as the relevant compact card can then be attached to
the JHA to assist personnel in complying with Brierty Limited’s Procedures.
