Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Workflow
This article describes the Job Safety Analysis workflow in the Operational Risk solution.
A Job Safety Analysis, or JSA, is a common risk assessment method that involves breaking down a job into tasks for the purposes of identifying and controlling the associated risks. The process includes hazard identification, risk assessment, identifying and implementing risk controls, and follow-up.
The need for a JSA may arise when
- a new task, job, or equipment is added,
- a task, job, or piece of equipment is modified,
- a contractor is coming onsite to perform a task, or
- a task or job is due for an annual/biannual review.
Multiple individuals may be involved in the JSA process, from an initial coordinator to a reviewer/approver, and individuals who might carry out assigned action items. These roles may overlap, so that one individual may be responsible for more than one of these tasks.
All of the task, hazard, risk, and control information you’ll be gathering is stored in a single record. The process looks like this:
As work on a JSA progresses in the system, its status changes (shown in italics above) to reflect the phase that it has reached in this process.
