2. What is a Job Safety Analysis?
A job safety analysis (JSA) is a technique to identify the dangers of specific tasks in order to reduce the risk of injury to workers
Roundtable discussion: JHAs for training?

3. Why is it Important?
Once you know what the hazards are, you can reduce or eliminate them before anyone gets hurt
The JSA can also be used to investigate incidents and
To train workers how to do their jobs safely

4. Effective JSAs
Management must demonstrate its commitment to safety and health
Follow through to correct any uncontrolled hazards identified
Otherwise, management will lose credibility, and employees may hesitate to go to management when dangerous conditions threaten them

5. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Start by involving employees
Discuss what you are going to do, and explain why
Explain that you are studying the task, not employee performance
Involve employees in the entire process

6. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Set priorities, giving extra consideration to
Jobs with the highest injury or illness rates
Jobs where there has been a “near-miss” (an incident happened, but nobody got hurt)
Jobs with the potential to cause serious injuries or illnesses, even if there is no history of such problems

7. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Jobs in which one simple, human mistake could lead to severe injury
Jobs that are new to your operation or have been changed
Jobs complex enough to require written instructions

8. Job Task Avoid the two most common errors:
Making the tasks too detailed
Making the tasks too general and losing the important activities

9. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Break the job task into steps
Job Steps
Potential Hazards
Protective Measures
1.Reach into box to the right of the machine, grasp casting and carry to wheel.
2. Push casting against wheel to grind off burr.
3. Place finished casting in box to the left of the machine.

10. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Identify the hazards of each step. For each
hazard, ask
What can go wrong?
What are the consequences?
How could it happen?
What are other contributing factors?
How likely is it that the hazard will occur?

11. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Job Steps
Potential Hazards
Protective Measures
1.Reach into box to the right of the machine, grasp casting and carry to wheel.
Strike hand on edge of metal box or casting; cut hand on burr.
2. Push casting against wheel to grind off burr.
Strike hand against wheel, get sparks in eyes. Wheel breakage, dust, sleeves get caught.
3. Place finished casting in box to the left of the machine.
Strike hand against metal box or casting.

12. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Review the list of hazards with employees who do the job
Discuss what could eliminate or reduce the hazards

13. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Eliminate or reduce hazards
Safer way to do the job
Describe each step
Be specific – don’t use generalizations
like “Be Careful”
Changes in equipment

14. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Eliminate or reduce hazards
Equipment changes or engineering controls, e.g. machine guards, improved lighting, better ventilation, are the first choices because they can eliminate the hazard
Changes in work processes
Changes in personal protective equipment

15. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Eliminate or reduce hazards
Administrative controls, or changes in how the task is done, can be used if engineering controls aren’t possible (e.g rotating jobs, changing the steps, training)

16. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Eliminate or reduce hazards
When engineering and administrative controls aren’t possible or don’t adequately protect the workers, use personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, hearing protection)

17. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
Job Steps
Potential Hazards
Protective Measures
1.Reach into box to the right of the machine, grasp casting and carry to wheel.
Strike hand on edge of metal box or casting; cut hand on burr.
Provide gloves and safety shoes.
2. Push casting against wheel to grind off burr.
Strike hand against wheel, get sparks in eyes. Wheel breakage, dust, sleeves get caught.
Provide larger guard over wheel. Install exhaust system. Provide safety goggles. Instruct employee to wear short sleeved shirts.
3. Place finished casting in box to the left of the machine.
Strike hand against metal box or casting.
Provide tool for removal of completed stock.

18. Assign Actions
Accountability for carrying out actions should be clearly assigned, understood and initialed by the responsible person indicating his / her personal commitment and accountability for that action.

19. Assign Actions
All members of the work team have to understand the actions that must be put in place to ensure safety and protect the environment while the job is performed. This will ensure personal accountability and allow everyone to be clear regarding who will implement the action.

20. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
What do I do next ?
Correct the unsafe conditions and
processes
Train all employees who do the job on the changes
Make sure they understand the changes

21. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
What do I do next ?
Review the JSAs
You may find hazards you missed
When the task or process is changed
When injuries or close calls occur while doing the task

22. Instructions for Conducting a JSA
What do I do next ?
Use the JSAs
Training
Accident investigation

23. Questions?
Should a JSA be completed each work shift on the routine task with the most hazards involved?
Should a JSA be completed on all non-routine tasks?

24. JSA Review
The final part of the JSA involves a review for accuracy and completeness
All personnel that are part of the JSA will sign acknowledging their agreement and understanding of the JSA

25. Summary – JSA Training Steps
Define meaning of JSA
Explain benefits and why JSAs are important
Select the job to be analyzed
Prepare the JSA form
Break the job task into steps
Identify the hazards

26. Summary – JSA Training Steps
Identify the controls
Correct unsafe conditions and processes
Assign additional actions / follow-ups if necessary
Review JSAs
Use JSAs for training and incident investigation

27. Sample JSA - Stack Lift

28. Sample JSA – Moving Pipe

29. Sample JSA – Vacuum Truck Service Call

30. Suggested JSA Tasks With Struck-by Hazards
Making / breaking connections
Releasing valve pressure on vacuum trucks
Good fittings while pumping heavy mud or fluid into vacuum trucks
Usage of hammer union wrench and sledge hammer while breaking loose well head bolts

31. Supervisor Tips
“Use the right tools for the right task, and don’t take shortcuts” – Sipriano Gonzalez, roundtable member
Using a knife instead of a screwdriver
Using a pipe wrench instead of a crescent wrench
Not using homemade tools for the job

32. Supervisor Tips
“Utilize JSAs for pre-work meetings” – John Stephens, roundtable member
“Post JSAs on bulletin boards so crews from different shifts can utilize” – Jay Hawkins, roundtable member
