Nearly every job task can be broken down into a series of steps. Developing steps for a job is critical in the analysis process to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of each task. The process of “analysis” in the context of a JHA includes breaking the “whole” procedure down into its basic steps. The idea is to carefully describe actions and hazards within each step, and how to mitigate those hazards through control strategies. Each step in the task being analyzed should describe an action. It tells what the worker does in each step.
