JSA- SAFETY ASSESSMENT
This document discusses job safety analysis (JSA). It defines JSA as a technique to identify potential job hazards by breaking jobs into simpler tasks. It outlines the 5 major steps of JSA and describes common JSA team members. It also provides methods to increase JSA effectiveness, including management controls, job selection methods, analyzing jobs through group discussion or direct observation, identifying hazards, eliminating or controlling hazards, implementing JSA findings into operations, and monitoring the JSA program.

- 3. defenition It is atechnique by which potential hazards of a particular job are identified and controlled by dividing the complex job into simpler tasks.
- 4. 5 major stepsof JSA • 1 . Select a job. • 2. Break the job down into steps . • 3. Identify the hazards or determine the necessary controls of the hazards . • 4. Apply the controls to the hazards. • 5. Evaluate the controls.
- 5. Jsa team • A personnel from management • Safety engineer • Safety officer • Supervisor • Employee
- 6. Method for increasingeffectiveness of jsa • 1. Management controls • 2. Identification of a method for job selecting • 3. Analysis of the job (perform JSA) • 4. Incorporation of the JSA into operational systems • 5. Monitoring a JSA program.
- 7. MANAGEMENT CONTROLS • Policies • Directives • Responsibilities (line and staff) • Budget .
- 8. ESTABLISHING A METHODFOR SELECTING JOBS • Some jobs can be broadly defined in general terms of the goal. Such broadly defined jobs are not suitable for a JSA.
- 9. ESTABLISHING A METHODFOR SELECTING JOBS A job can be narrowly defined in terms of a single action . Pulling a switch, tightening a screw and pushing a button are examples . Such narrowly defined jobs are sometimes not suitable for a JSA.
- 10. ESTABLISHING A METHODFOR SELECTING JOBS • In critical situations narrowly defined jobs are also apt for JSA.
- 11. ESTABLISHING A METHODFOR SELECTING JOBS Usually jobs with greater potential hazards are selected for JSA The job appropriate for jsa are • with high accident rate • with high severity rate • routine job with potential inherent hazards • Job changes
- 12. Analysis of job •(a) Analyze the job (step- by- step breakdown). • (b) Provide solutions to identified hazards. • (c) Review the completed analysis.
- 13. Group Discussion Method •In the group discussion method, the supervisors meet with their employees to perform an analysis of a job. The job then is broken into a step-by-step process with identification of all associated hazards.
- 14. Group Discussion Method :advantages • Sharing of experiences by a group of employees will generally produce a more thorough analysis of potential hazards. • Group discussion of this kind will serve as an effective safety training program. The employees will learn from each other. They learn what potential hazards are.
- 15. Group Discussion Method :advantages • The employee assumes an active role in the safety program. • The safety program will benefit because the employee will be more inclined to accept the procedures in the JSA.
- 16. Direct Observation Method •In direct observation method, either the safety officer or safety engineer observes the employee performing the task from start to finish. The job must be broken down step by step . The hazards associated with the job must be identified.
- 17. Hazards Identification Break the job down into a step- by- step sequence. Avoid the common error of: • (a) making the breakdown so detailed that an unnecessarily large number of steps result. • (b) making the job breakdown so short that priority steps are omitted.
- 18. Hazards Identification (A) Isthere a danger of striking against , being struck by or o otherwise making injurious contact with an object? (B) Can the employee be caught in, on, or between objects? (For example , an unguarded v- belt , gears, or reciprocating machinery.) (C) Can the employee slip, trip , or fall on some level , or to another? (For example , slipping in an oil-changing area of a garage , tripping on loose worn carpet, or falling from a scaffold.)
- 19. Hazards Identification • Canthe employee strain him/herself by pushing , pulling or lifting? Back injuries are common in every type of industrial operation; therefore, do not overlook the lifting of heavy or awkward objects. • Is the environment hazardous - toxic- gas, vapor , mist , fumes or dust, heat , ionizing or non ionizing radiation?
- 20. Hazards Elimination orControl • Find a less-hazardous way to do the job . • Change the physical conditions that created the hazard . • To eliminate those hazards which cannot be engineered out of the job, change the job procedure.
- 21. Hazards Elimination orControl • Try to reduce the necessity of doing the hazardous job or at least reduce the frequency that it must be performed. • use personal protective equipment (PPE)
- 22. IMPLEMENT THE JSAINTO OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS • The completed, reviewed and approved JSA must be incorporated into the operation . In the past, JSA have been developed but never used effectively. The implementation of jsa findings is a crucial step which has to be initiated by safety engineer.
- 23. MONITORING A JSAPROGRAM • How effective is the JSA in eliminating or reducing the hazards associated with the task? • Does the JSA need to be revised to update changes in the physical environment which may have introduced unforeseen hazards? • Is the JSA followed by the employees? If not, then why not? What hazards are introduced?
