Job Safety Analysis

About the Course

This Job Safety Analysis training course provides a proven process for controlling operating hazards and costs; if an organisation is working towards implementing a good hazard control program, they need to conduct a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) on all hazardous activities at their workplace. JSA is a procedure that helps integrate safety and health principles and practices into a particular operation.

The delegates will learn how to develop and manage a JSA program and gain a better understanding of your role in making it effective. It is designed to introduce the important steps in conducting a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) to write a safe job procedure which includes a discussion of conducting a risk assessment, prioritising jobs, writing the steps, determining hazards, including safety precautions, and tips on writing safe job procedures. Through discussions, demonstrations and exercises, the delegates learn how to dissect processes in operation and eliminate or reduce hazards inherent with these processes. Likewise, they will understand how to enlist frontline employees, supervisors, and upper management participation.

For a job safety analysis to be effective, management must demonstrate its commitment to safety and health and follow through to correct any uncontrolled hazards identified. Otherwise, management will lose credibility, and employees may hesitate to go to management when dangerous conditions threaten them.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Recognise the difference between hazard and risk and the components of risk
• Explainthe main types of workplace hazards and their potential consequences
• Implement the hierarchy of control techniques
• Demonstrate JSA's relation to continual improvement in your organization
• Apply the 4 steps of a successful JSA
• Demonstrate the value of personal protective equipment (PPE) as the last line of defense

Training Approach

This training course is driven by a blended learning approach and draws on various adult learning techniques such as action learning, experiential exercises, group discussions, video case studies, role play, and self-reflection activities. The resulting variety helps delegates stay engaged throughout the course, feel challenged and draw quick wins for their development. It also ensures delegates are exposed to ample opportunities to apply what they learn to the real-world challenges they face in the workplace.
