Define the work scope. We identify each aspect of the scope by breaking the tasks into parts. This allows us to bring potential hazards into focus, shifting from the team’s high-level overview of the work to the reality of performing the work. Analyze the work hazards. One step at a time, and with full crew participation, hazards are identified from the obvious and universal to the unique and specific. Develop and implement controls to reduce the identified hazards. The Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a collaborative document to help crews spell out the hazards of the task so they can develop specific controls.
Perform work in compliance with hazard controls. Regardless of how trivial a hazard reduction measure seems, supervisors are responsible for ensuring that tasks are performed correctly and that all employees understand and follow the JSA throughout the day’s work. Improve processes through constant review during and after work execution. Consistent review throughout our process is essential. Since every plan can be improved, and many unanticipated or changing conditions can arise during execution, we encourage employees and subcontractors to speak up if they see new potential hazards or a way to better-develop our procedures. To this effect, JSAs are reviewed at least once at midday and any other time the scope or conditions may change.
