Goals/Benefits

Involvement

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

Review

The assessment of risks present in a particular environment

Classification of exposure based on the level of risk

Risk is inherent in many situations

Recognize that when it exceeds plan we must step back and re-evaluate our actions/behavior

Maximum Exposure

Plan

Minimal Exposure

Process

◦ A Continuous

◦ Never ending Hazard Analysis

Provide a proactive and continuous

approach to identifying, eliminating, controlling, and/or reducing workplace hazards

Engage employees at all levels to work together to create a safe workplace

Change culture

Leads to a collaborative culture

People working together to eliminate, control, and reduce exposure

Who should be involved?

Everyone: ◦ Management

◦ Operations

◦ Purchasing

◦ Engineering

◦ Project Managers

◦ Contractors

Management

◦ Drive the process

◦ Support the process

◦ Allow resources for

success Time

Materials

Knowledge

Training

Money

Operations

◦ Continually analyze

the working interface

◦ Seek ways to eliminate, control, or reduce exposure

◦ Communicate hazards

Purchasing ◦ Evaluate types of tools and equipment brought into

the work environment

◦ Involve operations in purchasing decisions

Engineering/Project Management ◦ Include hazard analysis component on all projects.

◦ Are we introducing new hazards into the work environment?

◦ Are there opportunities to eliminate, control, or reduce exposure?

Contractors

◦ Pre-Project Planning

◦ Routine Hazard Analysis

◦ Routine Planning

Job Safety Analysis (Job Hazard Analysis)

Have the right tools in your toolbox

Identifying, eliminating, reducing or controlling workplace hazards

Focuses on the tasks or jobs people perform in the work environment ◦ Routine

◦ Non-Routine

Focuses on exposure created by actions rather than conditions

Formal versus informal

Select the analysis team

Reviewing/revising the JSA

The JSA Process

The Process

Need to effectively select and prioritize the jobs to be analyzed

Several factors should be considered

Activities with significant incident frequency or

severity. ◦ Near Misses ◦ Incident Reports ◦ Last 5-10 years of data.

Activities employees feel have the highest risk or

potential for severe injury/fatalities. ◦ Examples

Cleaning bins Use of sweep auger Railroad operations Others????

Priority Index P= S X F

◦ P= Priority Index

Rating ◦ S= Severity Rating ◦ F= Frequency Rating

Higher the number,

greater the priority

Severity Ratings

5 Fatality

4 Loss of Permanent Function

3 Lost Time Injury

2 Recordable with No Lost Time

1 First Aid Only Injury

Frequency Ratings

5 Multiple Injuries and near miss events in recent past.

3 Few injuries and near misses in the recent past.

1 No injuries or near misses in the recent past.

Persons who perform the job must be involved ◦ Real life example

Recommend the team consist of at least one manager/supervisor and at least one person who performs the job

Suggest limiting the analysis team to no more than 5 people

All team members should be familiar with the JSA process

One person will need to act as the facilitator/leader

The team should observe the job being performed in the workplace

Videotaping is recommended

Employees must understand that the purpose of the observation is to observe the job/task and not the person.

Observe under normal work conditions: ◦ Time of day

◦ Number of employees typically assigned to job

◦ Weather

After observing the job the team should meet to discuss the sequence of steps.

Each job step should start with an action verb.

For Example:

1. Inspect the work area for hazards.

Enter the job steps into the “Job Steps” Section of the JSA Form

Limit to no more than 15 steps

Job Steps

1. Conduct an inspection of the

work area looking for

hazards.

When evaluating each step ask the question?

◦ Can this step increase

exposure leading to an injury?

Types of hazards include (National Safety Council):

Struck Against - Can

the worker forcefully strike against anything? ◦ Sharp edges ◦ Protruding objects ◦ Machinery

Struck By – Can anything move and strike the worker abruptly or forcefully?

Contact – Can the

worker come in contact with electrically charged equipment?

Caught-In – Can any part of the worker be caught on any object which could pull them into moving equipment?

Caught Between – Can any part of the body be caught between something moving and something stationary, or between two moving objects?

Fall/Same Level – Can worker slip/trip resulting in a fall?

Fall/Different Level – Can worker fall from one level to another?

Overexertion – Can the worker be injured while pushing, lifting, twisting, reaching, bending or any other motion?

Exposure – Can the worker be exposed to: vibration, excessive noise, extreme temperatures, poor air circulation, toxic gases, airborne dust/fumes, or hazardous chemicals?

Engulfment – Can the worker be engulfed by material (grain, fertilizer, etc.)?

Once the hazards have been identified enter them into the JSA form

Insert the Hazard code followed by specific information

Hazards

• Fall/Different Level: Fall from

ladder

•Struck By – Ladder struck by

opening door.

•Engulfment – Bin filled while

person inside.

Evaluate each hazard Doing nothing is not an option. Identify all

possibilities and decide on the most feasible. List all options regardless of the possible investment.

Use the Hierarchy of Controls to identify the options for addressing each hazard

Personal Protective

Equipment

Administrative or Process Controls

Engineering Controls

Hierarchy of Controls

Elimination

Substitution

Eliminate the hazard all together. Example: specialized equipment.

Using a less hazardous means Of accomplishing the task. Example: safe chemical

Design to eliminate hazards. Example: Installing guards,

interlocks, barriers, ventilation, etc.

Organize work in a way to minimize hazards. Example: job rotation, procedures

The last resort when trying to eliminate or decrease exposure

If the hazard cannot be eliminated, work to develop safe work practices or controls.

For example: ◦ Isolate equipment by locking and tagging out

◦ Keep hands clear of pinch points

◦ Place orange cones around the work area to warn vehicles that work is being performed

◦ Use properly rated stepladder

◦ Wear eye protection

Insert the safe work practice into the appropriate section of the JSA form

Safe Work Practices/Controls

•For improved stability stay off of the top two rungs/steps of the stepladder. •Maintain three point contact. Do not carry tools or equipment while climbing the ladder.

PPE requirements will need to be identified

Evaluate whether permits and equipment are needed for the job: ◦ Hot Work

◦ Bin/CSE Entry

◦ Compressed Air

◦ Energized Work

Notes:

Review routinely for accuracy

Routinely observe performance of the job using the JSA as the standard

No Name, No Blame

Review after:

◦ Change in the work area

◦ Change in equipment, materials, process or procedure

◦ Injury

◦ Near Miss

◦ Any factor that increases exposure

Review JSA forms with all employees on a consistent basis:

◦ Prior to performing the job

◦ During routine safety training

◦ Toolbox safety meetings

Also review:

◦ When hired or transferred into a new area/dept.

◦ After an injury, near miss or incident

Make JSA forms accessible to employees:

◦ In the work area

◦ Office file

◦ Database

Hazard analysis is a proactive process for identifying exposure.

Manage exposure versus managing injuries

Utilize Hierarchy of Controls methodology to address exposure

Create an environment where hazard analysis becomes part of your culture
