JOB SAFETY

ANALYSIS (JSA)

PROPER JOB ANALYSIS

AND PROCEDURES
 JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS
 DEFINED AS THE SYSTEMATIC
EXAMINATION OF A JOB TO IDENTIFY ALL
LOSS EXPOSURES PRESENT WHILE THE
JOB IS BEING DONE
 LOSS EXPOSURES ARE DUE TO HAZARDS
PRESENT IN DOING THE JOB
 THE AIM IS TO USE THESE INFORMATION
TO DEVELOP STANDARD JOB
PROCEDURES (SJPs) OR SOPs,
INCORPORATING THE NECESSARY
CONTROLS
OCCUPATION – POSITION TITLE COVERING ALL
WORK ACTIVITIES THAT AN EMPLOYEE
WHO HOLDS THAT TITLE PERFORMS
JOB - ALSO REFERRED TO AS TASKS; A
DEFINITE SEQUENCE OF STEPS OR
ACTIVITIES THAT AN EMPLOYEE
ENGAGES TO PERFORM WORK
ASSIGNMENT WITHIN AN OCCUPATION

PROPER JOB PROCEDURES – A TOOL FOR TEACHING

THE MOST SYTEMATIC WAY TO DO A CRITICAL JOB
CONSISTENTLY WITH MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
PROPER JOB ANALYSIS – A SYSTEMATIC
INVESTIGATION OF THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF
WORKER’S JOB – QUALITY, PRODUCTION AND SAFETY
 STEPS OF JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS

1. Identify all jobs by occupation / position

2. Determine critical jobs
2.1 Identify loss exposures / hazards
2.2 Evaluate criticality / significance by assessing the
risks for each hazard (use RA matrix)
2.3 Identify controls (general in nature)
3. Analyze critical jobs
3.1 Break down the job into orderly sequence of steps
or activities
3.2 Identify hazards for each step or activity
3.3 Conduct the efficiency check (PEME)
3.3 Identify and develop hazard controls required
4. Write the standard job procedure

ENVIRONMENT MATERIAL
Efficiency Check Review
 People: rules and regulations, PPE, number
of people doing the job, utilization
 Equipment: proper tools, hand vs. power
tools, utilization, tools availability
 Material: substitution, wastage, recycling, less
costly
 Environment: housekeeping, improve
conditions, junk, unnecessary aspects
Some Guidelines
 Operations: 15 – 30 jobs / task
5 – 10 critical jobs
 Maintenance: 2 to 3X more
15 – 30 critical jobs
 Use of JSAs:
 Induction / Orientation
 Instruction
 Inspections
 Observations
 Safety Talks
 Investigation
 Skill training
 Hazard assessment
 Enhanced supervision
SUCCESS FACTORS
 JSA shown to be vital to the prevention
and control of accidents
 Time-consuming, thus need adequate
time and personnel commitment
 Team approach is necessary
 Training for those involved is required
