A job hazard analysis is an exercise in the detection of hazard at work. The goal is to discover some of the followings;-
1. What can go wrong?
2. What is the likely consequence?
3. How could it arise?
4. What could be other contributing factors?
5. How likely that any such hazard could occur?

To make the job hazard analysis useful, it is important to document the answers to the above questions in a consistent manner. Because describing a hazard in this way helps to ensure that any effort to eliminate the hazard and implement hazard controls will help target the most important contributors to hazard detection.

The same is true that any good hazard scenario describes the followings;-
1. The (Environment) where it is happening.
2. The (Exposure) of who or what is happening to.
3. The (Trigger)-what precipitate the hazard?
4. The (Consequence)-of the outcome that would occur, should it happen.
5. And other contributing-(Factors)
In other to remember the five hazard areas, the what come to be known as (acronym...), we have this -(MEEPS)-that signifies - Materials,

Equipment, People and System.
1. Environment- This is an area that include facility design, hazardous atmospheres, noise etc. And other areas in the workplace that is dusty, wet, too hot, existence of dangerous gases etc.
2. People- This area include unsafe behaviors at all levels in the workplace. Such behaviors as taking short cut and not using PPE and ignoring safety rules all together.
3. System- Every company always has some degree of -safety and health management system.
4. Therefore, it is good to always think of the “state “of such SHMS-(Safety and Health Management System) -as a condition. Because if the System is not working, it may result to behaviors that ignore safe working practices that contribute to accidents in the workplace.
