Job Safety Analysis (JSA) checklist

A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) checklist is a crucial tool used to identify potential hazards associated with specific job tasks and outline preventive measures to ensure the safety of workers.

Here’s a basic outline you can use to create a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) checklist:

1. Job Title/Task Description:
   • Clearly define the task or job title being analyzed.
2. Job Steps:
   • Break down the job into specific steps or actions required to complete it.
3. Potential Hazards:
   • Identify potential hazards associated with each step.
   • Common hazards include:
     • Physical hazards (e.g., moving parts, machinery)
     • Chemical hazards (e.g., exposure to harmful substances)
     • Biological hazards (e.g., exposure to bacteria or viruses)
     • Ergonomic hazards (e.g., lifting heavy objects)
     • Environmental hazards (e.g., extreme temperatures, noise)
     • Psychosocial hazards (e.g., stress, workplace violence)
4. Risk Assessment:
   • Evaluate the likelihood and severity of each identified hazard.
   • Use a risk matrix or other assessment method to prioritize hazards.
5. Control Measures:
   • Determine preventive measures to eliminate or minimize identified hazards.
   • Consider engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
   • Examples of control measures:
     • Engineering controls: Machine guards, ventilation systems
     • Administrative controls: Job rotation, training programs
     • Personal protective equipment (PPE): Safety goggles, gloves, respirators
6. Responsible Person/Supervisor:
   • Assign responsibility for implementing and monitoring control measures.
   • Ensure that the responsible person is adequately trained and equipped to carry out their duties.
7. Training Requirements:
   • Identify training needs for workers involved in the task.
   • Provide training on hazard recognition, control measures, and emergency procedures.
8. Emergency Procedures:
   • Outline emergency response procedures in case of accidents or incidents.
   • Include procedures for reporting hazards and injuries.
9. Review and Revision:
   • Establish a schedule for reviewing and updating the JSA as needed.
   • Regularly involve workers and supervisors in the review process to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
10. Signatures/Approval:
    • Obtain signatures from relevant stakeholders to confirm understanding and acceptance of the JSA.
