Most incidents trace back to a specific task step that wasn't thought through. A job hazard analysis breaks a job into its steps, identifies the hazards in each one, and defines the controls — before someone gets hurt finding them the hard way.

We break each job into its component steps, identify the hazards associated with every step, and specify the controls using the hierarchy of controls — producing JHAs your crews can actually use, not paperwork that sits in a binder.
Each job separated into its actual sequence of steps.
The specific hazards present in each step.
Countermeasures ranked by the hierarchy of controls.
Built with the people who do the work, so it gets used.
A JHA is only useful if it reflects how the work is actually done and drives real controls. We build them with the people who do the job, prioritize elimination and engineering controls over relying on PPE, and make them practical enough to actually be used in training and daily work.
None of substance — job hazard analysis and job safety analysis are two names for the same method. OSHA uses "job hazard analysis."
Prioritize tasks with the highest injury potential or consequence, tasks with a history of incidents, new or changed tasks, and jobs complex enough that the hazards aren't obvious. We help you triage.
The employees who actually perform the task. Their input is what makes a JHA accurate rather than theoretical — and involving them builds the ownership that gets it used.
