Preventive Measures
The most important aspect of the job hazard analysis is to determine
preventive measures to control or eliminate the identified hazards. What
actions must be taken to control or eliminate the hazard?
Eliminate the Hazard
Substitute with less hazardous substance/material
Contain/Enclose the Hazard
Use a fume hood or proper shielding
Revise Work Procedures
Adding additional steps
Reduce Worker Exposure
This is the least effective option in most cases, but may have to
be used when permanent work process change is impossible or impracticable.
Examples of this option include job rotation, where worker exposure is
reduced, and the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) to
workers.
