Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Benchmark Assessment and Standardization Initiative

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from small businesses to determine their interest and capability in performing a comprehensive evaluation of existing Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and developing a standardized JHA framework. The objective is to improve hazard recognition, regulatory compliance, and consistency in JHA development and use across NIST's Office of Facilities and Property Management (OFPM) operations. The contractor will be required to assess current JHAs, benchmark them against regulatory and industry standards, identify gaps, develop an evaluation rubric and risk matrix, design a standardized JHA template, and provide implementation guidance and training materials. • The contract will be for a period of 6 months from the date of award. • The contractor must have experience in occupational safety management and developing or evaluating Job Hazard Analyses. • The contractor must have knowledge of OSHA regulations and familiarity with ANSI Z10 or ISO 45001 standards. • The contractor must have strong analytical and communication skills.
