Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

Although this technique is applied at any stage, it is most helpful at the preparation, design stage,

And the process will start.

It can be used to verify the method of work and to recognise hazards 

1. that may have been missed by the Plant design or planning phase, development, machinery, equipment, tools, workstations, processes
2. subsequently found 
3. as a result of improvements in the job process or processes, etc.

It is the first step in the analysis of hazards or incidents and protection preparation. In terms of tasks, abilities, skills, credentials, safety aspects, it decides the specifics risk of each task. Required instruments, SOP, sequence of operation and working conditions to do JSA.

Advantages (Benefits) Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

1. It indicates what personal characteristics, such as age, gender, talent, intelligence, experience, abilities, skills, Physical norms etc. are important for the right individual to be selected for the right job.
2. The work breakdown sheets are useful for teaching new hires in the right sequence of doing the job  In a secure and successful way.
3. Before they cause any crash, the hazards are noticed.
4. To avoid injuries, it recommends preventive steps in advance.
5. It assists in the expected and productive safety inspection and investigation of incidents.
6. Improved work processes, movements, places, behavior and work standards are proposed.
7. Proper arrangement of techniques in line with agreed healthy and appropriate methods.
8. Preplanning, preparation and propulsion efficiency can be started by properly executing the service criteria.

Procedure of Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

Four fundamental steps in a simple procedure

1. Pick your job.
2. Break down the work into phases in succession.
3. In each stage, identify dangers and possible accidents.
4. Develop protection measures to eliminate the risks and subsequent incidents listed above. 

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) steps Explained briefly below:

1. It is important to first choose jobs with the potential for more regular incidents, serious injuries and new jobs in which hazards are unknown.
2. In proper sequence and stages, the work should be broken down. It is important to note the procedure, definition, hazards (existing or potential) and precautions.
3. In order to identify hazards, ask the operator concerned or someone with good knowledge of that job to watch the operations as many times as possible and list the hazards in each phase. Consider any of the  Accident, failure mode and impact options, etc.
   1. finding a new way to do the job will figure out the safe answer to the hazards noted.
   2. altering physical conditions that generate risks
   3. removing risks that are still present or altering the work process
   4. the need to do the work, or at least the frequency of the job, is reduced and
   5. to suggest personal security services, if any.
4. Both of the above results should be reported on the Work Breakdown Sheet (Job Sheet or Job Guidance Sheet) and operators and trainees should be told to do the job safely.
5. Analysis of job protection should be performed.

Example of Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

The Work Safety Review technique is outlined below.

A rough cast of 15 Kg in a warehouse. On a Pedestal grinder, 12” diameter wheel is fettled by hand. The castings are collected, fettled on the grinder and replaced on the floor on the other side of the machine from the nearby shop. Carry out an overview of workplace safety and prepare the work breakdown sheet.

Job Breakdown Sheet 

Operation Step	Description	Hazards	Precautions / controls
1	Start the job.	Breakage of wheel Contact with wheel Flying particles	Check and adjust the Guard Adjust tool rest Get wheel dressed if necessary Use goggles/ shield
2	Pick up the job.	Sharp edges Unsafe gripping or lifting	Use hand gloves  Use Safety shoes  Proper method of storing  Proper training in lifting.
3	Grind	Flying particles  Wheel breakage due to jamming etc.  Dust-Silicosis, nuisance	Use goggles shield  Do not jam  Local exhaust for machine and respirator  Aprons  Gloves
4	Replace the job.	Sharp edges  Fall of casting  Strain and sprain	Use hand gloves  Use safety shoes  Proper method of storing  Proper training in lifting
