Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
A systematic process of identifying potential hazards associated with each step of a job task and developing safe work procedures.
What is a Job Safety Analysis (JSA)?
A job safety analysis (JSA) is a procedure that breaks down a job into individual steps, identifies potential hazards in each step, and determines safe work procedures to control those hazards.
JSA Process
- Select the job to be analyzed
- Break the job into individual steps
- Identify hazards associated with each step
- Determine preventive measures for each hazard
- Communicate the JSA to all workers
- Monitor compliance
When to Perform a JSA
- Before starting a new or unfamiliar task
- When conditions change
- After an incident or near miss
- When reviewing procedures
