JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS
Donald L. Trussell
Office of Safety / Loss Control Mgt.
Definition of JSA
Job safety analysis (JSA) is a process which
involves:
• Careful study and recording of each step of
a job
• Identifying potential or existing job hazards
generated by equipment or employee actions
• Determining most efficient way to reduce or
eliminate hazards
JSA’s:
 Make jobs safer and less likely to result in
injury
 Eliminate unsafe acts and unsafe conditions
 Can be performed on any job task
JSA Background
• Don’t confuse a JSA with the OSHA required
Job Hazard Assessment (JHA)
• JSA is a tool to perform the JHA
• JSA’s will make the workplace safer
• Training aid
Four Essential Elements of a JSA
1. Select job for analysis
2. Break the job down into steps
JSA’s
3. Identify hazards and unsafe behaviors
4. Corrective Action - identify the correct/safe
way to perform the job
Selecting Jobs for Analysis
Ultimately all jobs
1. First jobs with highest rates of accidents
or greatest potential for injuries
2. Develop a critical job inventory
3. New jobs
4. Changes in process and procedures
Involve all employees
HAZARD CHECKLIST
It is important when conducting a Job Safety
Analysis, that you evaluate equipment,
procedures and personnel.
Equipment
Procedures
Personnel
A job is a single, separate,
specific component of the
employee’s overall duties.
Break Job Into Steps
A step is a single activity that clearly
advances a work assignment and is
a logical portion of that assignment.
Steps From Actions
1. Observe the job from start to finish
several times
2. Separate the job into distinctive steps
3. Sequentially list the actions needed to
complete every step of the job
Identify Hazards
• Existing or potential hazards
examples: jewelry
employee posture/balance
environmental hazards
sharp edges
potential of being caught in between
• Review and update as needed, at least annually
Corrective Action
1. Questions
2. Means of prevention and control of hazards
3. Write a standard job procedure
4. Review update

Procedures
1. Prepare materials to change
tire
Struck by vehicle
Engine must be shut off
Slip and fall to same level
Observe area. Removing tripping or
stumbling hazards or move vehicle
Exposure to cold, frostbite
Overexertion removing spare tire from
carrier
Overexertion loosening lug nuts
Wear gloves and other appropriate
clothing
Follow instruction in owner’s manual or
posted near jack
Use leg muscles to break lug nuts
2. Raise vehicle
Struck by vehicle
Struck by jack
Contact with hot exhaust
Overexertion using jack
Put vehicle in gear or park. Set
parking brake. Choke wheel on
opposite end of vehicle (both sides)
Following jacking instructions in
owner’s manual or posted near jack
Exhaust system may be very hot do
not touch
Use jack as described in owner’s
manual. Examine jack and handle
for defects
3. Change Tire
Caught between tire and ground or
caught between vehicle body and
ground
Overexertion lifting tire off of or on
to hub
Contact with hot hub wheel or lug
nuts
Exposure to cold (frostbite)
Check jack stability before any work
is performed on the raised vehicle.
Grasp tire on sides to remove from
hub
Use proper lifting techniques. Get
help if needed
Wear gloves when removing tire.
Wheel and lug nuts may be hot.
Wear gloves and other appropriate
clothing
4. Lower Vehicle

JSA Based on Following Principles
 A job can be analyzed for hazards in
a systematic way
 A specific job can be separated into a
series of relatively simple steps
 Hazards associated with each step
can be identified
 Solutions can be developed to control
each hazard
Reasons to do a JSA
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Identify hazards and ergonomic risks
Eliminate hazards
Cut costs and keep people on the job
Increase agency productivity
Increase employee comfort
Comply with ADA
Limit agency liability
Makes good business sense
Reduces accidents and close calls
Provides education and training
Benefits of JSA
• Allows combination of two or more processes
or procedures into a streamlined core
• Establishes good communication - supervisor employee - bureaucrats
• Reduces prep time for training employees
• Increases productivity due to safer workplace
Benefits Continued
• Results in fewer injuries
• Standardizes work procedures
• Serves as performance measurement tool
• Identify problem before implementation of
changes rather than after
When to revise a JHA?
• If the equipment sustains any damage
• After a close call
• Employee complaint
• When a job is altered
• When an injury or accident occurs
• During an scheduled review
