Job Safety Analysis
JSA Definition
‹ A tool used to:
Ï carefully study and record each step of a job or task
Ï identify existing or potential hazards (safety, health,
environmental, product quality),
Ï determine the best procedures to follow in order to perform
the job safely

Benefits of a Job Safety Analysis
‹ Proactively identifies hazards and prescribes action
to take for each hazard
‹ Establishes proper job procedures
Ï Helps standardise and update common job tasks/processes

‹ Provides acceptable standards

‹ Serves as an excellent “safety training” tool
‹ Great tool for hazard analysis regarding new tasks,
new equipment, or procedures that are non-routine
4
Job Safety Analysis
Why Develop a JSA?
‹ To ensure that all hazards are identified and controlled for
all major tasks and processes

When to Develop a JSA?

‹ Lack of inadequate procedures
‹ New or modified equipment or procedures

5
Job Safety Analysis
Job Safety Analysis Process
1. Selection of job or task
2. Develop the JSA procedure
3. Review and approval
4. Field verify and validate

6
Job Safety Analysis
Step 1: Selection of job or task
Ï Incident or injury experience
Ï High potential for injuries/losses
Ï New/modified equipment or procedures

7
Job Safety Analysis
Step 3: Develop the JSA procedure

A. List steps of job or task

B. Identify hazards associated with each step

C. Develop procedures to prevent hazard/manage risk

8
Job Safety Analysis
Step 3a: List steps of job or task
‹ Review procedures
‹ List key steps in order
‹ Discuss steps with employees that are familiar with the work
– Modify as required
‹ Finalise clear and concise steps for task

3b. Identify the Hazards
‹ While observing and reviewing procedures, determine:
– What are the hazards?
– What could go wrong?
– How could someone get hurt?
– How could a loss occur?
‹ List the hazard associated with each step
‹ Obtain input from employees familiar with the work

Job Safety Analysis
Items to Consider When Looking at Potential Hazards
‹ Environmental Conditions: Are there any conditions that may be
hazardous to safety or health?
− Are there any gases, vapors, mists, fumes, or dust in area?
− Is ventilation adequate to remove any air contaminants?
− Are there any sources of heat or cold?
− Is there adequate lighting to see the complete job?

11
Job Safety Analysis
Items to Consider When Looking at Potential Hazards
‹ Injurious Contact: Is there a danger of striking against, being
struck by, caught between, caught on, caught in, or otherwise
making harmful contact with an object?
− Can people come in contact with, be struck by, or snagged by moving
parts of equipment? Customer vehicle’s? Contractors equipment?
- Are there any running pinch points between two moving parts such as a
pulley and belt?
- Is there sufficient room to work? To stay out of the line of fire? Out of
traffic areas?
− Is there any material that could strike people?
- Are energy sources controlled?
− Are machines safeguarded? 12
Job Safety Analysis
Items to Consider When Looking at Potential Hazards
‹ Overexertion: Can a strain be caused by pushing, pulling, lifting,
bending, twisting, or by repetitive motion?
− Does the employee have good body position and placement?
− Does the job require lifting of excessive amount of weight?
− Does the employee twist while lifting?
− Does this job have repetitive motions?

13
Job Safety Analysis
Items to Consider When Looking at Potential Hazards
‹ Slips, Trips, and Falls: Is there a potential for this type of
occurrence?
− Are there spills of water, oil, or other slick material on the floor?
− Are there lowered or elevated surfaces?
− Is there any chance of a fall to another level?

14
Job Safety Analysis
Items to Consider When Looking at Potential Hazards
‹ Other Key Safety Behaviors
− Do employees wear proper PPE?
− Are the correct tools available?
− Are proper equipment moving/lifting tools available?
− Is communications between work groups adequate for safe
performance?

15
Job Safety Analysis
3c. Develop Procedures to Prevent/Manage Risk
‹ For each hazard or potential hazard, determine if job could be
performed in another way to eliminate hazard
– Combining or changing sequence of steps
– Additional safety equipment to reduce hazards
‹ If safer and better steps can be used, list each new step
– Write in enough detail for worker to follow
– Avoid general statements like: “Be careful”
‹ If no new procedures can be developed, can physical changes
be made?
– Redesigning equipment
– Personal Protective Equipment

Job Safety Analysis Procedure
‹ You must stay focused and not get buried
in details

‹ Initial development process is likely to

produce several pages; you must reduce
to 1-2 page procedure format

17
Job Safety Analysis
Step 4: Review and Approval
Ï Job experts will review and approve
– Initial JSA’s reviewed and approved by chain of command
– Management/Supervisor approves new JSA’s & recycles to Field

Step 5: Field verify and validate

Ï Management determines if solution eliminates or reduces hazard

18

Understand your Responsibilities
‹ Employees
Ï Proactive Team member
Ï Report deficiencies in work standards
Ï Follow the JSA’s

‹ Managers/Supervisors
‹ Follow up to verify and validate
Ï Provide coaching
Ï Monitor for Quality
