INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS FORM

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is an important accident prevention tool that works by finding hazards
and eliminating or minimizing them before the job is performed, and before they have a chance to
become accidents.
Set priorities for doing JSAs: jobs that have a history of many accidents, jobs that have produced
disabling injuries, jobs with high potential for disabling injury or death, and new jobs with no accident
history & abnormal operation condition
Before filling out this form, consider the following:
The purpose of the job What has to be done? Who has to do it? The activities involved How is it
done? When is it done? Where is it done?
Heres how to do each of the three parts of the Job Safety Analysis:
SEQUENCE OF BASIC JOB STEPS

In summary, to complete this form you should consider:

1. The purpose of the job
2. The activities it involves
3. The hazards it presents.
If you are not familiar with a particular job or operation, interview an employee who is. In addition,
observing an employee performing the job, or walking through the operation step by step may give
additional insight into potential hazards.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS

1.

Examining a specific job by breaking it down into a

series of steps or tasks, will enable you to discover
potential hazards employees may encounter.

A hazard is a potential danger. The purpose of the Job Safety

Analysis is to identify ALL hazards both those produced by the
environment or conditions and those connected with the job
procedure.

2.

Each job or operation will consist of a set of steps or

tasks.

3.

Be sure to list all the steps needed to perform the job.

4.

Some steps may not be performed each time.

However, if that step is generally part of the job it
should be listed.

RECOMMENDED ACTION OR PROCEDURE

Using the first two columns as a guide, decide what actions or

procedures are necessary to eliminate or minimize the hazards
that could lead to an accident, injury, or occupational illness.
1.

To identify hazards, ask yourself these questions about each step:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Is there a danger of the employee striking against,

being struck by, or otherwise making injurious contact
with an object?
Is there potential for slipping, tripping or falling?
Could the employee suffer strains from pushing,
pulling, lifting, bending, or twisting?
Is the environment hazardous to safety and/or health
(toxic gas, vapor, mist fumes, dust, heat, or radiation)?

Close observation and knowledge of the job is important.

Examine each step carefully to find and identify hazards the
actions, conditions, and possibilities that could lead to an
accident. Compiling an accurate and complete list of potential
hazards will allow you to develop the recommended safe job
procedures needed to prevent accidents.

8.

HAZARD RANKING:

H = High, M = Medium, L = Low

Begin by trying to: 1) Engineer the hazard out; 2)

Provide guards, safety devices, etc.; 3) Provide
personal protective equipment; 4) Provide job
instruction training; 5) Maintain good housekeeping; 6)
Insure good ergonomics (positioning the person in
relation to the machine or other elements in such a way
to improve safely).
List the recommended safe operating procedures.
Begin with an action word. Say exactly what needs to
be done to correct the hazard, such as lift using your
leg muscles. Avoid general statements like, be
careful.
List the required or recommended personal protective
equipment necessary to perform each step of the job.
Give a recommended action or procedure for each
hazard.
Serious hazards should be corrected immediately.
The JSA should then be changed to reflect the new
conditions.
Finally, review your input on all three columns for
accuracy & completeness.
Determine if the recommended actions or procedures
have been put in place.
Re-evaluate the JSA as necessary.

NOTE: Xerox copies of old JSA not allowable. Verify Revision prior to use.
