Health and Safety
"When completed properly, JSA’s will increase employee awareness of potential safety risks and enhance compliance."
All employers must take reasonable steps to ensure individuals, staff, contractors or third parties are provided a healthy and safe workplace. Job Safety Analyses are used to evaluate potential risks to worker health and safety, and to develop control measures to manager those risks. When completed properly, JSA’s will increase employee awareness of potential safety risks and enhance compliance.
The risk analysis process requires extensive process knowledge and keen investigative skills. If not completed correctly, a JSA may miss critical elements that can leave the worker and the company both at risk. Years of experience and knowledge of industrial and manufacturing processes of our more than 600 active clients throughout the world, from nearly every type of industrial process, has provided our staff with an extensive foundation for the identification and evaluation of potential health and safety risks."
Job Safety Analysis packages can include worksheets showing each job/task and the steps in each, list of potential incidents/accidents including an evaluation of the risk and possible severity, any current controls, recommendations, and an analysis of the possible risk levels after implementation of the recommendations. Task specific safe work practice summary cards containing step-by-step safe work practices with digital images illustrating key points can be used for training and posting at the specific work location or equipment.
