112-494: A job safety analysis. These may include, but are not limited to, those with a history of, or potential for, injury, harm or damage such as those involving: It is important that employees understand that it is not the JSA form that will keep them safe on the job, but rather the process it represents. It is of little value to identify hazards and devise controls if the controls are not put in place. Workers should never be tempted to "sign on"
140-420: A loss, injury, disadvantage or gain. There may be a range of possible outcomes associated with an event. Consequence is the severity of the injury or harm that can be reasonably and realistically expected from exposure to the mechanism of injury of the hazard being rated. An implemented control may affect the severity of the injury, but it has no effect on the way the injury occurred. Therefore, when rating risk,

196-403: A specific work assignment. Examples of work assignments include "operating a grinder," "using a pressurized water extinguisher" or "changing a flat tire." Each of these tasks have different safety hazards that can be highlighted and fixed by using the job safety analysis. Workplace hazards can be allocated to six categories: Mechanism of injury (MOI) is the means by which an injury occurs. It
224-496: Is a documented risk assessment developed when company policy directs employees to do so. Workplace hazard identification and an assessment of those hazards may be required before every job. Analyses are usually developed when directed to do so by a supervisor, when indicated by the use of a first tier risk assessment and when a hazard associated with a task has a likelihood rating of 'possible' or greater. Generally, high consequence, high likelihood task hazards are addressed by way of
252-478: Is a widely accepted system promoted by numerous safety organizations. This concept is taught to managers in industry, to be promoted as a standard practice in the workplace. Various illustrations are used to depict this system, most commonly a triangle. The hierarchy of hazard controls are, in descending order of effectiveness: Elimination , substitution , engineering controls , administrative controls , and personal protective equipment . A job safety analysis
280-527: Is about procedures, standards, legislation, safe work instructions, permits and permit systems, risk assessments and policies. Key factors for effective process are that the relevant components are in place, easy to follow and regularly reviewed and updated. People may be exposed to issues related to: To assist people to be safe in their workplace they need to be provided with sufficient information, training, instructions and supervision. People may be: The right equipment, materials and tools must be selected for
308-443: Is also in common usage. In relation to a duty to ensure health and safety, reasonably practicable means that which is, or was at a particular time, reasonably able to be done to ensure health and safety, taking into account and weighing up all relevant matters including: PEPE is used to assist in identifying hazards. It is an acronym for the four elements that are present in every task of the work process: In this context, process

#1732838231910336-399: Is defined as the 'effect of uncertainties on objectives '. In the context of rating a risk, it is the correlation of 'likelihood' and 'consequence', where likelihood is a quantitative evaluation of frequency of occurrences over time, and consequence is a qualitative evaluation of both the "Mechanism of Injury" and the reasonable and realistic estimate of "severity of injury". Example: One of
364-405: Is expedient to review a JSA that was prepared when the same task was performed on a previous occasion, but care should be taken to ensure that all of the hazards for the job are controlled for the new occasion. The JSA is usually recorded in a standardized tabular format with three to as many as five or six columns. The more columns used, the more in-depth the job safety analysis will be. The analysis
392-508: Is for the name of the individual who will put the particular control in place. Defining who is responsible for actually putting the controls in place that have been identified on the JSA worksheet ensures that an individual is accountable for doing so. After the JSA worksheet is completed, the work group that is about to perform the task would have a toolbox talk , to discuss the hazards and controls, delegate responsibilities, ensure that all equipment and personal protective equipment described in
420-443: Is important because in the absence of an MoI there is no hazard. Common mechanisms of injury are "slips, trips and falls", for example: Other common mechanisms of injury include: Likelihood is how often an event is reasonably and realistically expected to occur in a given time, and may be expressed as a probability , frequency or percentage. Consequence is the outcome of an event expressed qualitatively or quantitatively, being
448-438: Is no commonly used mathematical way in which multiple controls for a single hazard can be combined to give a score that meets an organizations acceptable risk level. In instances where the residual risk is greater than the organisations acceptable risk level, consultation with the organizations relevant risk authority should occur. Hierarchy of control is a system used in industry to minimize or eliminate exposure to hazards. It
476-510: Is subjective to what the role being investigated entails. The headings of the three basic columns are: Job step, hazard and controls. A hazard is any factor that can cause damage to personnel, property or the environment (some companies include loss of production or downtime in the definition as well). A control is any process for controlling a hazard. The job is broken down into its component steps. Then, for each step, hazards are identified. Finally, for each hazard identified, controls are listed. In
504-411: The JSA are available, that contingencies such as fire fighting are understood, communication channels and hand signals are agreed etc. Then, if everybody in the work group agrees that it is safe to proceed with the task, work can commence. If at any time during the task circumstances change, then work should be stopped (sometimes called a "time-out for safety"), and the hazards and controls described in

560-399: The bottom of a JSA without first reading and understanding it. JSAs are quasi-legal documents, and are often used in incident investigations and court cases. The analysis is usually created by the work group who will perform the task. The more minds and experience applied to analysing the hazards in a job, the more successful the work group is likely to be in controlling them. Sometimes it
588-414: The consequence remains the same for both the initial rating and the residual rating. People inherently tend to overestimate severity of consequence when rating risk, but the rating should be both reasonable and realistic. Risk is the combination of likelihood and consequence. The risk at hand ties directly into the likelihood and severity of an incident. The risk authority is the organizational level of

#1732838231910616-410: The example below, the hazards are analyzed for the task of erecting scaffolding and welding lifting lugs: Some organizations add columns for risk levels. The risk rating of the hazard prior to applying the control is known as the 'inherent risk rating'. The risk rating of the hazard with the control in place is known as the 'residual' risk rating. Risk, within the occupational health and safety sphere,

700-476: The known risk rating anomalies is that likelihood and the severity of injury can be scaled, but mechanism of injury cannot be scaled. This is the reason why the mechanism of injury is bundled with severity, to allow a rating to be given. The MoI is an important factor as it suggests the obvious controls. Another column that is often added to a JSA form or worksheet is the Responsible column. The Responsible column

756-424: The person authorized to accept a specified level of risk. For example, different levels of risk authorities may be assigned as follows: As low as reasonably practicable when applied to job safety analysis means that it is not necessary to reduce risk beyond the point where the cost of further control becomes disproportionate to any achievable safety benefit. The "ALARA" acronym ("As low as reasonably achievable ")
784-478: The task, and incorrect selections may be hazardous in themselves. Controls are the barriers between people and/or assets and the hazards. Controls can also be thought of as " guardrails " that prevent negative impacts from occurring. The effectiveness of a control is measured by its ability to reduce the likelihood of a hazard causing injury or damage. A control is either effective or not. To gauge this effectiveness several control criteria are used, which: There
