How does the JHA process work?

• Worker enters JHA software and generates
  preliminary JHA through subscription to a Work
  Group and/or by answering questions
• Worker meets with Supervisor/Work Lead to review
  preliminary JHA, make changes to reflect actual
  conditions or local requirements (a facilitator
  will assist for the initial roll out)
• Supervisor/Work Lead and Worker sign document
• The completed JHA will generate what training is
  required by each employee
