The JHA is a living document. Success depends upon its use Post JHAs in the work area so it is easily accessible to employeesBefore work begins, challenge employees by asking questions about the work to be performedRequire all field supervision to regularly review the JHA with the crew while observing the work (lead by example)Management elevates its status by using it in the field

Which form is better?
Complex or simple? The JHA form should be effective. Some environments require a more sophisticated form. Choose a form that worksKISS (Keep It Simple for Supervisors) - Efficiency gains buy-in faster than anything
Combine reports to reduce supervisor’s paperworkLet them know you are working for them…not against them!
