Job Site Analysis
Training Objectives
• Explain the need for JSAs
• Explain the benefits of JSAs
• Provide the information necessary to
properly complete JSAs
• Provide the tools necessary to properly
complete JSAs
What Is Job Safety Analysis?
• Method used to break a job task into
separate and distinct steps
• Evaluate the hazards associated with each
step
• Determine the appropriate controls
needed to control each of the identified
hazards
Benefits of Job Safety Analysis
• Identifies unsafe work practices before an
accident occurs
• Decreases injury rates
• Increases quality
• Increases productivity
• Alternative to using rates as an Incentive
only!!!
Uses Of Job Safety Analyses
• Evaluate existing jobs
• Set up new jobs
• Training and re-training tool
• Prioritize jobs needing re-design
• Ties in closely with other job analyses
(quality & productivity studies, RTW)
• Reference in accident investigations
No JSA = Bad
• The report found that risk assessment was
“often incomplete,” that business units did not
understand or address major hazards, and that
competency in risk and hazard assessment was
poor. BP March 2004 audit finding.
“Many [people] reported errors due to a lack of
time for job analysis, lack of adequate staffing, a
lack of supervisor staffing, or a lack of resident
knowledge of the unit in the supervisory staff.”
2005 Telus survey

Job Hazard Analysis Exercise
EXAMPLE:
Change a
Light Bulb
Exercise
Three Step Procedure &
Exercise
• Identify each major step of the job task
• List the hazard(s) to each major step
• Determine the control(s) that would
prevent an accident for each hazard
identified
• Break into groups
• List only three steps, hazards, control for
changing a light bulb
• Go!!!
Changing A Light Bulb
• Event Date: 08/19/2009
• An employee was on an aluminum ladder over
twenty five feet from the ground when working
on replacing a ballast for a 400 watt mercury
light bulb.
• The power supply line was energized.
• The circuit breaker for the lighting fixture was
tripped.
• The employee fell off the ladder.
• The employee was taken to a hospital where he
was pronounced dead.
Changing A Light Bulb
• Event Date: 01/31/2008
• Changing 277/480v light bulbs in the parking lot lamps
• Outside the store using an aerial lift.
• The lamps had been energized to discover which bulbs needed to be replaced.
• The lamps were not de-energized prior to the deceased working on it.
• The deceased was using a screw driver (a 8.5-inch phillips head screw driver) that
was not insulated, and he was not using any type of electrical protective equipment.
• The deceased was having difficulty in opening the light housing on the lamp
because the lid to the housing had two stripped screws.
• The deceased apparently reached into the light housing to replace the light bulb and
was electrocuted.
• The bulb was found broken after the accident.
• According to the medical examiner's report, the deceased died from cardiac
ventricular dysrhythmia due to electrocution.
• He had an electrical burn on his right palm.
