Job Safety Analysis

JSA DefinitionA tool used to:

carefully study and record each step of a job or taskidentify existing or potential hazards (safety, health,

environmental, product quality),determine the best procedures to follow in order to perform the job safely

4

Job Safety AnalysisBenefits of a Job Safety Analysis

Proactively identifies hazards and prescribes action to take for each hazard

Establishes proper job proceduresHelps 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

5

Job Safety AnalysisWhy 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 proceduresNew or modified equipment or procedures

6

Job Safety Analysis

Job Safety Analysis Process1. Selection of job or task

2. Develop the JSA procedure

3. Review and approval

4. Field verify and validate

7

Job Safety AnalysisStep 1: Selection of job or task

Incident or injury experienceHigh potential for injuries/lossesNew/modified equipment or procedures

8

Job Safety AnalysisStep 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

9

Job Safety Analysis

Step 3a: List steps of job or taskReview procedures List key steps in orderDiscuss steps with employees that are familiar with the work

– Modify as required

Finalise clear and concise steps for task

10

Job Safety Analysis3b. 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 stepObtain input from employees familiar with the work

11

Job Safety AnalysisItems 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?

12

Job Safety AnalysisItems 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?

13

Job Safety AnalysisItems 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?

14

Job Safety AnalysisItems 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?

15

Job Safety AnalysisItems 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?

16

Job Safety Analysis3c. 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

17

Job Safety AnalysisJob 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

18

Job Safety AnalysisStep 4: Review and Approval

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 validateManagement determines if solution eliminates or reduces hazard
