JOB SAFETY ANALYSISPresentation

Job Safety Analysis

•Break down the task into steps

• Identify the hazards connected with each step

•State how you will mitigate (minimize) the hazard

Job Safety Analysis Needed For:

New Jobs Unplanned MaintenanceALL Permitted WorkWhen a new chemical or procedure is introduced

Job Safety Analysis

Job means “task”Stick to “key” stepstoo detailed becomes cumbersome

not enough detail becomes useless

Break job down into key steps

Too much detail– Too many steps

Too little detail-- so general that basic steps are not recorded

AVOID

Group Activity

Job Safety Analysis“Changing a Flat Tire

on a Car”

10-15 min Activity

As a group, list the steps needed to change a tire on a carIdentify the hazards of each stepCompare your results to the following slides

Key Steps (TOO MANY)Changing a Flat TirePull off roadPut car in “park”Set brakeActivate emergency flashersOpen doorGet out of carWalk to trunkPut key in lockOpen trunkRemove jack

Key Steps (NOT ENOUGH)Changing a Flat Tire

Setting new tire fingers pinched back strain

Tighten nuts back strain slip & fall

JSA Process

Every person who will participate in the work participates in the JSA process.JSA is to be conducted before work begins.After the job, review the JSA to see if any lessons learned can be applied.

Is your JSA Good Enough?

Sometimes when you are doing the work, you can’t see the hazardsIt can be helpful to have an outside party conduct a “Job Observation”

Conduct a Job Observation

A Job Observation can identify hazards and potential accidentsReview the job observation as a team to identify all hazards

Develop Solutions

Find a new way to do jobChange physical conditions that create hazardsChange the work procedureReduce risk exposure

New way to do job

Determine the work goal of the job, and then analyze the various ways of reaching this goal to see which way is safest.Consider work saving tools and equipment.

Change the work site

Tools, materials, equipment layout or locationStudy change carefully for other benefits (costs, time savings)

Change procedures

What should the worker do to eliminate the hazardHow should it be done?Document changes in the JSA

Reduce Risk

What can be done to reduce the risk??Identify source of the riskUse engineering, procedures or PPE to reduce risk

SIMOPS Concerns??

Changes may affect other jobs or work processes.Check or re-observe the new process once it has been redesigned
