WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TSTI (total safety task instruction) andJSA (job safety analysis)
I Prefer to think of the two (albeit similar in nature) as TASK and SITE specific. Total Safety Task
Instruction (TSTI) is a purely proactive and a critical action that needs to be taken by the Project
Manager. It should be a requirement for all task assignments. The project manager will need to plan and
analyzes each task for safety, occupational and environmental hazards. A meeting should be held with
each task performer (Supervisory and workers) so they can agree on the plan and be part of the decision
making process and take ownership for the outcome. Each task should be broken down into steps and
then outlined and assigned to the task performers. To ensure maximum effectiveness, TSTI must be
communicated verbally at the location where the task will be performed. I also prefer to have the tasks
detailed in writing and cataloged in a binder at the job site table or command area. As new tasks are
added new TSTIs are also needed. In short a TSTI is in place and understood before the job starts outing
specific steps and the order of the steps to ensure a safe environment.
Job Safety Analysis or as I prefer to call it Risk Assessment, is done on site and is specific to the job site.A risk assessment will help you focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace. A risk assessment
is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh
up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. I have my crews
follow a 5 step process. The Site Manager or Superintendent will walk the site before the job starts and
whenever crews of job phases change. He must identify the hazards: Decide who might be harmed and
how: Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution: Record the findings and implement them: Review the
assessment and update as necessary: I also incorporate both into the TOOL BOX TALKS that are a
weekly requirement.
A task instruction is a written document with step by step instructions to conduct work safely. A risk
assessment has to be conducted to identify and assess the risks related to the task and then preferred
approach with minimal risk is put together as task instruction for daily use. Task instructions are usedmainly for low risk-everyday tasks.
Where as main aim of a JSA is to identify the hazards associated with the task and those associated with
change in weather, workplace, other operations, etc. Some companies keep JSA's for specific task as a
controlled document but make it a vital point in the permit to work system process that JSA's are reviewed
by the work supervisor before the permits are approved. JSA's are imperative to high risk-non-routine
tasks. They have to be current and applicable on that dot time.
Worker's might or might not read or have access to task instructions but would have to participate in JSA
and sign them before starting work. it is important to have a JSA than TI as JSA would show the worker a
safer way to perform the task anyway.
AS A SAFETY OFFICER IN MY COMPANY, I REALISE THAT MOST PEOPLE DONOT ACCORD MUCH RESPECT TO SAFETY OFFICERS.PLEASE WHAT IS THEHEIRACHY OF SAFETY MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING THE ORGANOGRAM IN ACOMPANY.

Here something to consider:
Are Your Young Leaders Trained to Bridge the Generation Gap? Its All About Respect.
With more and more large universities and high schools adding degrees in hospitality to their course
offerings, its clear that the industry is gaining attention from millennials. (A millennial, commonly referred
to as Generation Y, is anyone born between the 1980s and early 2000s.) The increase in the number of
students graduating with a bachelors degree in Hospitality Management means the average age of the
workforce is beginning to drop.
Younger, educated workers are entering the industry at a rapid pace and are quickly working their way up
the corporate ladder. However, many of the novice leaders have yet to determine their leadership style
and are fairly inexperienced.
One of the largest issues facing these new leaders is learning how to lead a team of older and more
experienced members. Speaking as a millennial who had to navigate his way through unfamiliar waters, I
would like to lay a frameworkfor a young leader in any industryfor successfully building and leading a
team of people who are, in some cases, twice your age.
1. Give respect The worst mistake a young leader can make when leading team members who are their
seniorsone that virtually guarantees your team will be more difficult to leadis not giving them enough
respect. By giving respect, I mean respecting their age, years of experience, and ideas. If you expect
them to respect your position and you personally, you must make giving respect a top priority.
I was promoted to my first leadership position while I was still in college. Every person working for me was
older than I was, and I had the least amount of experience. Once I became their leader, I quickly realized
that the thing I could do to get them to perform at their best was to listen to them and give them as much
respect as possible. I knew my position came with a certain amount of respect, but if I wanted to continue
to progress through the industry, I needed to be known for being a leader who was respected because he
respected his team first.
2. Leverage their experience The number one advantage someone who is older than you has will most
likely be the experience they have garnered over the years in the industry. Usually, with more experience
comes a level of certainty in the work they are performing. I found that many of the team members that I
began leading knew much more about the industry and property management systems than I did
however, I was still promoted over them
I had to leverage the experience they had and use it to help me through some tough situations. I was able
to build a team that had years of experience and was willing to share what they had learned to help me
become a better leader. My team began to trust me more and, in turn, I was able to get them to want to
perform at a higher level. I saw it as a resource that many leaders were too prideful to tap into.
Once they realized that I respected them and appreciated the experience they had, they became willing
to explain how they had dealt with various issues in the past. As a college student, I may have ha d book
knowledge that they didnt, but I was certainly lacking in the on-the-job experience they possessed.
Again, in order for me to get ahead and continue an upward trajectory in my career, I utilized the
resources that were around me, which, in this case, happened to be leading a team of experienced
individuals

Trained workers are companys asset
if you were not their safety adviser, i believe you would have done more than they are doing in
disrespecting or do not acord much respect to safety. 4 me, the key to close this gap is to advice your
organization to spend extra money in training and have a perceptible policy and management instruction
on incentives/award to enhance an effective safety incident, accident and near miss reporting, and also
inaugurate a Safety Committee members at your various sections. Ok..
As we all know, Safety is our Individual /collective responsibility, we all need to be involved. The idea
behind the organogram is to have a point man at various department whom in additionto his/her
responsibility would be assisting in disseminating safety issues/ message, alerts and collating safety data
and statistics.
The coordinators role is to assist in putting these reports from all the divisions together and handling
safety issues (meetings, Safe Talk; fire Drill) walk about inspections, JHA etc and with full support of the
Management cause management has invested highly on safety. It is a team work; the cooperation of all
would be highly appreciated......
Safety management should only answer to the CEO of the company. Local PMs must never be allowed to
intimidate any of the on-site safety officers. Remember that the safety officers are there to enforce all of
the companies safety regulations and represent the managements philosophy on all things regarding
safety. Period. Any compromise in safety always leads to regret.
IN RELATION TO HSE WHAT DOES THE TERMS ``TRA, JSA AND HIRADC MEANAND WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCS AND COMMONS BETWEEN TRA,JSA ANDHIRADC?
My opinion is just simply like this. HIRADC we make it for general work process while for JSA is morespecific on job step. We are practicing jsa is required and to be attached inside our permit to workprocedure for small project and hiradc is for big project.
How you will explain the difference between JSA and Work Permit.
Job safety analysis (JSA), is a safety management tool in which the risks or hazards of a specific job in
the workplace are identified, and then measures to eliminate or control those hazards are determined and
implemented. More specifically, a job safety analysis is a process of systematically evaluating certain
jobs, tasks, processes or procedures and eliminating or reducing the risks or hazards to as low as
reasonably practical (ALARP) in order to protect workers from injury or illness. The JSA process is
documented and the JSA document is used in the workplace or at the job site to guide workers in safe job
performance.
A work permit system is a formal written system to control certain types of work when these are identified
as potentially hazardous. The terms "P.T.W.", "permit" or "work permit" refer to the form used in such
system which is used by a company to meet its needs. These systems aim to ensure proper planning andconsideration are given to the risks involved in a particular job, at a specific time and place, with
designated precautions
Job Safety Analysis or Job Hazard Analysis is the first step in determining all hazards of any job, by
analyzing each job task. Safe Work Methods or Safe Operating Procedures are usually developed from
the JSA or JHA. It is difficult to write safe operating procedures without first determining the job hazards.
In 2011 I published a book detailing a Job Hazard Analysis process.

Most Work Permits have an element that embodies the SWP for the task being Permitted (along with
other specific sections as determined by the "client"). The permit it issued by the plant operator for a
specific period of time in which the task may be carried out. They may be written by the contractor, then
simply signed off on, or may actually require an eyes on by someone from operations to identify visually
the area of focus prior to Permit issuance (typical in live plant operations). Depending on the work taking
place Work Permits are further broken down into sub-categories Hot Work Permits / Cold Work Permits /
Confined Space Permits / Ground Disturbance Permits etc, etc, etc., (or combinations of the above to
cover one area of operation).
The Permitting System is in place so that there are no tasks being undertaken on site that Operations is
not aware of. how many, who they are, where they are, what they are doing, and when, they'll be doing it.
