What is Job Safety Analysis
Job Safety Analysis (JSA), also known as Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), is a systematic approach employed to identify and evaluate potential hazards that can be associated with specific job tasks or activities.
JSA is a proactive method used by organizations to ensure workplace safety and prevent accidents or injuries at the workplace.
The primary purpose of conducting a Job Safety Analysis is to break down a job into its component steps, identify potential hazards, and develop effective control measures to eliminate or mitigate those hazards. By analyzing each step of a job, organizations can identify potential risks, assess the likelihood and severity of those risks, and determine appropriate preventive measures to ensure the safety of workers.
