1. DEFINITION

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a process where all hazards associated with each step of a job are identified and control measures are put in place to minimize the risk to personnel, environment and property.

2. STEPS OF A JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS

The following step is recommended for safety analysis :

2.1 Select the job or task to be analysed ;2.2 Break the job into logical steps, ideally not more than ten (10) steps in

each Job Safety Analysis ;2.3 Identify the hazards in each step ;2.4 Develop risk elimination or reduction measures for each hazard identified;2.5 Record the Job Safety Analysis on the standard forms and establish a

review period for the the job safety analysis – not more than 2 years or whenever there is a change in the process ;

2.6 Display the completed job safety analysis at work site / Plant ;2.7 Review and update the job safety analysis at the required period.

3. DEVELOPING A JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS

When developing a job safety analysis, consider the following : 5 W’s and 1 H for :

What? Why? When? Where? Who? How?

3.1 What Exactly is the Job ?

3.1.1 Identify and briefly describe the job e.g. loading / unloading of chemical.

3.2 What Materials Will I Be Dealing with Or Handling ?

E.g. chemical.

Weight and size of the job

Sharp material

Hot materials

3.3 What Tools And Equipment Will I Be using ?

Lifting crane / machine, forklift, gantry crane

Hooks, sling, palates, weighing scale

3.4 When Will the Job To Be Carried Out :

Day (morning, noon, afternoon),

Night

Overtime, off day, public holiday

3.5 Where the Job To Be Carried Out :

3.5.1 In a confined area

3.5.2 At a high risk area

3.5.3 At a height

3.6 Why The Job Needed To Be Carried Out :

For loading / unloading

3.7 How Might The Job Affected By Other People :

3.7.1 Other people or their activities

Other equipment

4. STEPS OF A JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS

Step 1 – What Type of Job Should Require a Job Safety Analysis

i. Jobs that have a history of injuries or incidents

ii. Jobs that have the potential of injuries or incidents

iii. New job

iv. Job processes that have changed

v. Jobs that are performed infrequently

vi. Jobs that will be performed by new personnel

Step 2 - Break The Job Into Logical Steps

i. Identify simple steps and the order in which they will be performed.

ii. Try to limit the steps. If there are more logical steps, consider breaking the

major task into two or more task for analysis e.g. operating a rollformer is too

big a task for one Job Safety Analysis. It needs to broken down into :

a. loading a coil into the uncoilerb. feeding the sheet into the rollsc. running the productd. strapping the product bundlese. re-winding the coilf. unloading the coil

Step 3 - Identify Hazard In Each Step

Does the job have any of these hazards ?

i. Physicala. Biological hazardsb. Chemicals or Gasesc. Confined spacesd. Difficult assesse. Electricityf. Ergonomic Hazardsg. Heighth. Heavy Objectsi. Hot or cold Objectsj. Moving Objectsk. Noisel. Radiationm. Rotating Objectsn. Vehicles

o. Vibrationp. Other physical hazards

ii. Tools and Equipment

a. Hand toolsb. Cranes and Lifting gearsc. Power Toolsd. Forklift truckse. Pressesf. Guillotinesg. Other equipment

iii. Work Environment and Weather

a. Extreme heat or coldb. Direct exposure to sunc. Rain / snowd. Lighting conditions

iv. Could Any of these Types of Injury Occur

a. Struck by an objectb. Caught in between objectsc. Hitting against an objectd. Strain or over exertione. Object falling onto peoplef. People slipping, tripping or fallingg. Bruns – from heat, fire, explosion or radiation burnsh. Inhaling or swallowing or skin contact with chemicals

v. Also Think About These Possibilities :

a. Training or skills required to do the jobb. Fitness level required for the jobc. Other jobs being done in the area at the same timed. Damage to the environment, such as chemical spills

Step 4 - Develop Risk Elimination or Risk Reduction Measures

Use the “Heir Archy of Control” when thinking of Risk Reduction Measures:

1 Eliminate – the task or process or chemical

2 Substitute / Isolate – change the task, use different chemical

3 Control - Guards on equipment, maintenance, procedures, lock out /tag system 4 Administrative - Reduce the exposure and

training

5 PPE – Use immediately as temporary measures while other risk reduction measures are being put in place.

Step 5 - Record the Job Safety Analysis

Use the standard Job Safety Analysis form to record the information. Set a review

period for the Job Safety Analysis. This should be whenever, there is a change in the

process. The review period must not be more than two years.

Step 6 - Display The Job Safety Analysis At Work Place

The completed Job Safety Analysis becomes the safe work instruction and should be

permanently available in the work area.

Step 6 - Review the Job Safety Analysis at the Required Period

Each Job Safety Analysis need to be reviewed and updated at regular periods.
