This document outlines the Job Cycle Check (JCC) methodology for evaluating work procedures and practices. The JCC process involves three steps: 1) an off-the-job evaluation where the supervisor and employee review the written procedure, 2) an on-the-job evaluation where the employee performs the job while the supervisor observes, and 3) a final evaluation where they discuss any needed revisions. The goal of JCC is to continuously improve safety, efficiency and compliance with updated procedures. Supervisors are responsible for conducting regular JCCs with employees and tracking revisions to procedures.

WHY NEED JCC ?
 To provide a system that will ;
Look at the safety aspect of each operating procedure
or practice.
Keep procedures and practices current and adequate.
Ensure that employees know the procedures and
practices.
Continuously provide refresher training for personnel.

Advantages of JCC
Provide a safer operation,
Help discovery of hidden hazards,
Help in reviewing of standard practices,
Help in improvement in efficiency.
Facilitate efforts to review every employee’s entire job in
a set period of time by maintaining records of the job
cycle checks made on each employee .

JCC Training
Supervisor’s Preparation
The supervisor picks a procedure, or part of one,
from an assigned list. The supervisor notifies
the employee with whom the job cycle check will
be made and sets a time.
The supervisor makes a photocopy of the
procedure to be reviewed for use as a working
copy.

10. METHODOLOGY:
1 ) Off-the-Job
Evaluation
10

11. JCC Training
Off-the-Job Evaluation
 The supervisor and employee sit down off-the-job, discuss how the
job is presently done, and compare practice with the written
procedures. If this is the employee’s first job cycle check, the
supervisor should explain the philosophy and procedure.
 Key questions to be asked are as follows:
What protective equipment is required?
Is it in good shape?
What tools are required?
Are they provided in good condition?
What are the key “Safety How” items that relate to this procedure?
Are there any safety items unique to this job? Does the procedure
identify these items?
Is the procedure up-to-date?
Can the job be done safely and efficiently by following this
procedure?

12. METHODOLOGY:
2) On-the-Job
Evaluation

13. JCC Training
On-the-Job Evaluation
 After the off-the-job discussion, the supervisor and
employee will go into the area and the employee will do
one of the following ;
 Perform the job as described by procedure. If parts of
the job cannot be done by procedure, or if the normal
practice does not follow the procedures, but is safe,
note how the job really is done.
 If equipment is down, or it is impractical to do the
actual job, select another job or make a “dry run.”

14. JCC Training
On-the-Job Evaluation
 Identify and document the following key items ;
 Differences in how the job is done versus what the procedure says
 Any unsafe items, such as Striking hazards
 Defective equipment
 Lack of needed equipment
 No escape routes
 Inadequate space to do the job
 Lack of line identification
 Any parts of the job that are not covered by procedure but should be
covered

JCC Training
Final Evaluation
Following the on- and off-the-job evaluations, the
supervisor and employee sit down and review their initial
findings and discuss the on the-job evaluation. The‑
supervisor solicits suggestions from the employee.
A job cycle check form is then filled out.
If minor revisions are identified, they are written on a
photocopy of the procedure, attached to the job cycle
check form, and then sent to the area procedure
coordinator.

17. JCC Training
Final Evaluation
17
If major revisions are needed a brief statement is made
on the job cycle check form stating what is needed and
why.
The supervisor and employee should agree that if the
procedure is adequate, the employee will do the job by
procedure. If the procedure is not adequate, as soon as
it is revised, the employee will follow the revised
procedure.

JCC Training
Other Supervisory Responsibilities
 In order to maintain a record of which job cycle checks were made on which
employees, each supervisor should keep a job cycle check history on each
employee.
 Supervisors should periodically audit Revised Procedures for Review
book to ensure their employees are reading the changes.
 Whenever changes are made to operating procedures and practices, the
supervisor must ensure that his or her employees are aware of all changes.

Area Procedure Coordinator’s Function
 The area procedure coordinator will evaluate minor
revisions and make major revisions and review them
with area personnel prior to issuing. The coordinator
then must have the changes typed and circulated.
 The coordinator should set up and place in the area a
Revised Procedures

Area Procedure Coordinator’s Function

 All procedural changes will be placed in this book with the
revisions identified. Each revision will have an employee
checklist for each employee to mark off his or her name
once changes are reviewed.
 The coordinator will file all job cycle check forms and
check off those completed on the supervisor’s assignment
list.
