Job Safety Analysis

This course provides a practical understanding of Job Safety Analysis (JSA), a systematic method used to identify hazards and control risks associated with specific job activities. Participants will learn how to break a job into individual steps and identify potential hazards at each stage. The course explains how to assess risks based on likelihood and severity and determine suitable control measures. It covers the hierarchy of controls, including elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE. Participants will understand how to prepare and document effective JSA/JHA forms for routine and non-routine activities. The course also addresses safe work procedures, permit-to-work requirements, and communication of identified hazards to workers. Practical examples from construction, manufacturing, maintenance, oil and gas, and industrial operations are included. Participants will learn how to recognize unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, and changing workplace hazards. The course also explains how supervisors and safety professionals can use JSA to improve workplace safety and prevent incidents. By completing the course, participants will be better prepared to conduct effective job hazard assessments and implement appropriate risk controls.
