Summary

TLDRThis video provides an overview of the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) process, including its purpose, benefits, and steps. It explains what a JSA is, when and why it should be done, and where it should be kept. The video outlines the three main steps of conducting a JSA: breaking a job into tasks, identifying associated hazards, and applying controls to mitigate risks. The hierarchy of controls, such as elimination, substitution, and PPE, is briefly discussed. Viewers are encouraged to take a quiz and engage further through comments and subscriptions.

Takeaways

  • 📄 Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a tool to define and control hazards in a job, task, or procedure.
  • 📊 A JSA involves systematically examining every task to identify health and safety hazards.
  • 🛠️ JSAs are useful for planning, training employees, and investigating incidents.
  • 📅 Conduct a JSA when there are new jobs, procedures, equipment, or based on accident trends.
  • 📂 Completed JSAs should be stored in the work area and reviewed by employees before starting work.
  • 🔍 JSAs break jobs into steps, identify hazards, and determine controls to reduce risks.
  • ⚠️ Use the hierarchy of controls to reduce hazards, starting from elimination to personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • 👷 Supervisors and workers performing the job should complete the JSA as they are most familiar with the hazards.
  • 🛑 Hazards like strains, electrocution, and falls should be identified for each step in a job.
  • 🔧 Control measures include using mechanical devices, proper lifting techniques, and PPE like gloves and steel-toed boots.

Q & A

  • What is a Job Safety Analysis (JSA)?

    -A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a safety tool used to systematically examine and document every task within a job to identify health and safety hazards and the steps to control each task.

  • Why is conducting a JSA important?

    -Conducting a JSA helps in planning, training new employees, and reviewing infrequent jobs. It can also be used to identify contributing factors and root causes during an incident investigation.

  • When should a JSA be conducted?

    -A JSA should be conducted when there is a fatality, based on accident trends, for a new procedure or job, or when a new piece of equipment with potential hazards is introduced.

  • Where should completed JSAs be stored?

    -Completed JSAs should be placed in the work area where the task will be performed, or made available to the affected employees, so they can review it before starting work.

  • What are the three steps involved in completing a JSA?

    -The three steps in completing a JSA are: breaking the job into steps, identifying the hazards for each step, and selecting controls to mitigate the hazards.

  • Who is responsible for completing a JSA?

    -The supervisor and the employees performing the work are responsible for completing the JSA, as they are most familiar with the hazards. A safety professional may assist in identifying hazards and controls.

  • What is the hierarchy of controls used in a JSA?

    -The hierarchy of controls includes five stages: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE), with elimination being the most effective and PPE the least effective.

  • Can a JSA be used for training purposes?

    -Yes, a JSA can be used to teach employees how to recognize hazards and understand the processes involved in a job.

  • What are examples of hazards identified in a JSA?

    -Examples of hazards include strains and sprains from lifting, electrocution from tools, lacerations from sharp objects, and falling from ladders.

  • How are controls selected for hazards identified in a JSA?

    -Controls are selected based on the hierarchy of controls, such as using mechanical lifting devices for heavy loads, wearing steel-toed boots to avoid crush injuries, and using PPE like cut-resistant gloves to prevent lacerations.
