EtQ Promotes Proactive Risk Mitigation with its Job Safety Analysis Module
FARMINGDALE, NY (06-28-10): Health and safety regulations across the world require that organizations document any health and safety risks that have been identified in the workplace, and record the actions taken to reduce those risks.
EtQ's Job Safety Analysis (JSA) module aids in complying with this requirement. EtQ's JSA module breaks down a job position into various steps in order to identify each step's associated hazards and determine preventive measures such as personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used, and counter measures that should be put in place. EtQ's JSA also conducts a Risk Assessment to measure the initial risk of each hazard and the residual risk after the preventive measures have been implemented. All the jobs are ranked in order of their final risk to elevate the organization's view of potential hazards. The information in the JSA module includes a robust change request feature and tight integration with EtQ's Training module.
"EtQ has developed its JSA module to define and control the hazards associated with an employee's job," stated Morgan Palmer, Chief Technology Officer at EtQ. "The end result is the ability to sort job positions by risk in a color- coded dashboard in order to see the highest risk as well as the residual risk. This helps to determine whether or not the job process is safe and if there is anything that can be done to improve job safety. The JSA module ultimately serves as a proactive method for identifying hazards within each job function, as opposed to relying on "after-the-fact" data—this makes it a tremendous asset for promoting job safety within the organization."
