Worksite Analysis
Conducting a Worksite Analysis
As part of the deployment process, it's important to make sure the CSMC is working effectively.
To do that conduct regular worksite analyses to analyze and evaluate the performance (results). Conduct systematic actions that provide information as needed to recognize and understand the hazards that exist and work practices used on each worksite.
Listed below are types of worksite analysis actions that can assist you with making an inventory of potential and actual hazards in your worksite:
- job safety analysis
- comprehensive hazard surveys (insurance inspections, OSHA consultation, etc.)
- hazard analysis of changes in your worksite (new equipment, new processes
- regular site safety inspections (employee and management)
- employee report of hazards or potential hazards
- injury and illness trend analysis
- personal protective equipment assessment
- ergonomic analysis
- specific identification of confined spaces
- identification of energy sources for specific machines
- copies of written inspections and surveys by: fire department, in-house as required by safety standards (e.g., overhead crane inspections, powered industrial truck daily inspection, etc.)
