Job/Activity Hazard Analyses

Safety is a top priority in the volunteer program. As stated in the 2016 Implementation Guidance for Section 1047(d) Services of Volunteers, of the Water Resources and Reform Development Act (WRRDA) of 2014, Public Law 113-121, Section 6.e.(4) "The volunteer coordinator, either directly or through a volunteer supervisor, will ensure that the volunteer is properly oriented and trained, and that his/her qualifications are adequate and documented for the work assigned." Section 6.aa.(3) also states, "A complete, detailed description of the duties, conditions, and responsibilities must also be attached to the OF 301a. Finally, a job hazard analysis or activity hazard analysis must be attached to the OF 301a."
• Job Hazard Analysis/Position Hazard Analysis (JHA/PHA) - Titles are used interchangeably. Identifies and describes overall potential tasks and hazards of a volunteer position or job.
• Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)- Identifies and describes specific tasks of a volunteer position/job in more detail
