10- GUIDANCE FOR COMPLETION OF JSA RECORD SHEET

Job Safety Analysis is the process of determining physical requirements, environmental conditions and
safety factors relating to a specific job or task. By identifying hazards before we start a job, we can
eliminate or minimize the potential impact of these hazards on personnel.
