JOB SAFETY ANALYSISPresentation

ANY New Job/ Activity

Recognize the HazardsPlan the workProtect the people

Before starting ANY new job/ activity, you need to:

Job Safety Analysis

• Break down the task into steps

• Identify the hazards connected with each step

• State how you will mitigate (minimize) the hazard

Job Safety Analysis

Steps and procedures are basically the same thing. Hazards are what can hurt youMitigations are how to protect yourself

Break job down into key steps

Too much detail– Too many steps

Too little detail-- so general that basic steps are not recorded

AVOID

Group Activity

JSA ProcessEvery person who will participate in the work participates in the JSA process- including contractors.JSA is to be conducted before work begins.After the job, review the JSA to see if any lessons learned can be applied.

Recognize the Hazards

Parking Car Struck by TrafficRemoving tire & jack Back Strain bang head on

trunkLoosen lug nuts back/arm strain slip & fall

Jacking up car car could fall off

jackSetting new tire fingers pinched back strainTighten nuts back strain slip & fall

Reduce the Risk

A mitigation is the same as “solution” or a way to prevent accidents, injury or harm.A mitigation is the answer to the question, “How will you reduce the risk?”

Ways to Reduce Risk

Identify source of the riskUse engineering, procedures or PPE to reduce risk

Change the work site

Tools, materials, equipment layout or locationStudy change carefully for other benefits (costs, time savings)

Change procedures

What should the worker do to eliminate the hazardHow should it be done?Document changes in the JSA

SIMOPS Concerns??

Changes may affect other jobs or work processes.Check the new process once it has been redesigned. Did it reduce risk?

Here’s what it looks like in a JSA
