  2. Definition of JSA • Job safety analysis (JSA) is a process which involves: • Careful study and recording of each step of • a job • Identifying potential or existing job hazards • generated by equipment or employee actions • Determining most efficient way to reduce or • eliminate hazards

  3. JSA’s: • Make jobs safer and less likely to result in injury • Eliminate unsafe acts and unsafe conditions • Can be performed on any job task

  4. JSA Background • Don’t confuse a JSA with the OSHA required Job Hazard Assessment (JHA) • JSA is a tool to perform the JHA • JSA’s will make the workplace safer • Training aid

  5. Four Essential Elements of a JSA • Select job for analysis • Break the job down into steps • Identify hazards and unsafe behaviors • Corrective Action - identify the correct/safe way to perform the job JSA’s

  6. Selecting Jobs for Analysis Ultimately all jobs 1. First jobs with highest rates of accidents or greatest potential for injuries 2. Develop a critical job inventory 3. New jobs 4. Changes in process and procedures Involve all employees

  7. HAZARD CHECKLIST It is important when conducting a Job Safety Analysis, that you evaluate equipment, procedures and personnel. Procedures Personnel Equipment

  8. A job is a single, separate, specific component of the employee’s overall duties.

  9. Break Job Into Steps A step is a single activity that clearly advances a work assignment and is a logical portion of that assignment.

  10. Steps From Actions 1. Observe the job from start to finish several times 2. Separate the job into distinctive steps 3. Sequentially list the actions needed to complete every step of the job

  11. Identify Hazards • Existing or potential hazards • examples: jewelry • employee posture/balance • environmental hazards • sharp edges • potential of being caught in between • Review and update as needed, at least annually

  12. Corrective Action • Questions • Means of prevention and control of hazards • Write a standard job procedure • Review update

  15. JSA Based on Following Principles • A job can be analyzed for hazards in a systematic way • A specific job can be separated into a series of relatively simple steps • Hazards associated with each step can be identified • Solutions can be developed to control each hazard

  16. Reasons to do a JSA • Identify hazards and ergonomic risks • Eliminate hazards • Cut costs and keep people on the job • Increase agency productivity • Increase employee comfort • Comply with ADA • Limit agency liability • Makes good business sense • Reduces accidents and close calls • Provides education and training

  17. Benefits of JSA • Allows combination of two or more processes • or procedures into a streamlined core • Establishes good communication - supervisor - • employee - bureaucrats • Reduces prep time for training employees • Increases productivity due to safer workplace

  18. Benefits Continued • Results in fewer injuries • Standardizes work procedures • Serves as performance measurement tool • Identify problem before implementation of • changes rather than after

  19. When to revise a JHA? • If the equipment sustains any damage • After a close call • Employee complaint • When a job is altered • When an injury or accident occurs • During an scheduled review

  20. Quiz • A ______ is a single, separate, specific component of an employee’s overall duties. • When conducting a JSA, it is important to evaluate the equipment, __________, and personnel. • While conducting a JSA, observe the employee doing the job from start to finish _______ times. • JSA’s provide employees with education and _________. • What are some of the benefits in conducting a JSA? job procedures several training

  21. Working together we can all win!
