it. It is a way of becoming aware of the hazards
involved in doing the job and taking action to prevent
an injury.
⮚ The JSA process is suitable for different trades doing
different tasks and need not require enormous amounts
of time or use endless pieces of paper.
Job Safety Analysis steps:

1. Document the activity


2. Identify the hazards
3. Document the control measures
4. Identify who is responsible
5. Monitor and review.

⮚ Ensure the person to conduct the training is available at the time of the
training.
⮚ Ensure that all equipment, notes etc that are required are available for
reference.
Effectiveness of Training

⮚ Following any training it is imperative to monitor the
