The Job Safety Analysis Process

Identify 1 Assess 2 Control 3

What is a Job Safety Analysis (JSA)?

It is a process by which we identify Hazards and Potential Incidents for each job step and devise safe controls to eliminate or  reduce the potential of occurrence.

Why use JSAs?

• To identify hazards and their means of control. • To gain commitment of personnel to use safe practices • To identify safer and more efficient methods of  working.

When should you do a JSA? .

Does the task involve designated critical operations, routine hazardous operations, or any other  operation that may be considered as high risk?

 No Will existing systems identify and control the hazards?

Yes

 No

Yes  No need for JSA.

Undertake completing a JSA with work team involvement. i nvolvement.

Yes Review previous JSA and make improvements to the process. Use the STEPBACK 5X5 process to identify and control hazards  before, during and after the task.

The Four Basic Steps to Preparing a JSA. 1. Select the job to be analyzed. 2. Separate the job job into into basic basic job job steps. 3. Identify the the hazards and potential potential incidents that are associated with each job step. 4. Develop safe work practices or controls for each hazard identifie identified. d.

JSA Forms Must Have 3 Basic Elements

Job Step

Hazards or  Potential Incidents

Safe Work  Controls

Things to Consider When Conducting a JSA Step 1 Select the job to be analyzed. 

What is the job I am being asked to do?



What is the logical order in which the job should be done?



What materials will I be dealing with?



What tools and equipment will I be using?



When will the job be done? (Day, Night, Cold or Hot)



How might the job affect people/activities/equipment?



How might the job be affected by other  people/activities/equipment?

Things to Consider When Conducting a JSA Step 2 Separate the jobs into basic job steps. 

What job job step comes first? Wording should begin begin with an “action” word (remove, open, weld & etc.) Second Third

 Next If a job has more than 8-10 steps, then break the  job into parts and produce a JSA for each part.

Things to Consider When Conducting a JSA Step 3 Identify the hazards and potential incidents that are associated with each job step. Hazard definition is “Something which by itself or by interacting with other variables can result in • Physical injury or death • Damage to assets or the environment • Production loss or increased liability” Examples: Heights, confined spaces, slippery surfaces, weather, control of hazardous energy, chemicals, hydrocarbon release, equipment, lack of training, loss of  concentration and etc.

Things to Consider When Conducting a JSA Step 3 Identify the hazards and potential incidents that are associated with each job step. Use Phrases like;  – Struck by or against  – Contact with or contacted by  – Caught in/on/under/betwe in/on/under/between/against en/against  – Exposure to temperature/che temperature/chemical/noise mical/noise  – Fall from a height. It’s very important to be specific, avoid generalization generalizations s like pinch points, points, slip/strips/falls, slip/strips/falls, and etc. etc. Identify specifically specifically what the potential incidents are.

Things to Consider When Conducting a JSA Step 4 Develop safe work practices or controls for each hazard identified. Remember the industrial hierarchy of control for the elimination of hazards. First, can the hazard be controlled through Elimination or  First, Substitution? Second, can the hazard Second, hazard be controlled through through Engineering Controls (redesigning equipment)? Third, can the hazard be controlled by implementing Third, Administrative Controls (changing job procedures, reducing exposure time, increase training and etc.)

Things to Consider When Conducting a JSA Continued: Step 4 Develop safe work practices or controls for each hazard identified. Remember the industrial hierarchy of control for the elimination of hazards.

Fourth and always LAST, can the hazard be controlled with the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

JSA Key Questions for Leadership Team.

 – “ Do we involve ourselves in preparing the JSA with our  team “  – “ Do we visit the worksite during the task to confirm what was planned is happening ?

Do we use this chance to give recognition r ecognition ?”  – “ When the task is completed do we give recognition to the group for successful completion ?

JSA Safety Scorecard

Is a rig based tool for measuring the effectiveness of the JSA process so continuous improvement can be achieved.

JSA Safety Scorecard How to use: 

At random pick a JSA for review r eview that was completed that day.



Review the JSA based on the score card requirements and assign a score.



Track the JSA scores as a leading indicator indicator over a period of time to drive continuous improvement. improvement.
