Definitions Hazard Potential to cause harm or injury to people, the environment, or equipment. Supervisor Responsible for direct supervision of personnel working on a job site. Examples are Crew Leader, Crew Chief, Job Foreman, or Construction Supervisor. JSA Preparation The Supervisor should have already met with the Project Manager or designee to plan the work. The minimum requirement is that the Supervisor has JSA training, or another person is present to assist who is JSA trained. The Supervisor will plan for active participation by the workers. Fill out the top portion of the JSA form with project name and number, Supervisor name, etc. Write out the crew names legibly. If more room is needed, write the names across the top of the form or attach a sheet. JSA Process The goal is to use the form as a tool to ensure worker safety. The identification of all hazards is the essential first step, then plan for elimination of the hazards or ensure protection against the hazard. Encourage workers to state hazards they could expect and ask them what they will do to protect against hazards, such as the use of PPE. Guide the discussion to ensure all hazards are considered. Start by writing the description of the work and listing each task to be performed. Use a sufficiently detailed task level to identify hazards completely. Identify if specialized competent persons are needed for excavation, scaffolding, etc and write down their names in the stated place. If confined space is performed, write down the names of the attendant and also the name of a fire watch, if needed for hot work. Discuss the emergency assembly points and write them down on the form. List the wind direction if applicable and discuss how to judge the wind direction by windsocks or steam. For confined space entry where identified as required, enter the atmospheric testing results. Using the back of the form, go through the checklist identifying each type of hazard. Check the item, check the corresponding box on the front of the form under Section C. Then list the hazard under Section H. List the permits required. Plan the work to minimize hazards and risk to persons and property. Identify all training required and confirm that each person has the training. For example, special training is required for confined space entry, scaffolds, fall protection, chemicals, and respirators. List all steps taken to eliminate, control, or protect against hazards. This is often PPE but can be alternate work methods. List tools, materials, and safety equipment required. For example, for confined space this could be a rescue hoist, ventilator, atmospheric monitor, etc.
Job Safety Analysis Form List any other special precaution taken, such as spotter, flagger, water removal, etc. The Supervisor will sign the form and all crew members will sign as well. If there is not room, then sign at the bottom of the page and on the back.
Posting Post the JSA Form at the worksite near the work, if possible. If not possible; place the form on a clipboard hung on the Supervisors vehicle or inside of the vehicle on the dashboard. Follow-up and Closure When the time period for the JSA is completed but no more than one week later, the JSA Form will be turned in to the Project Manager to file for the duration of the project.
