Job Safety Analysis (JSA) 1
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) 1 : Process of breaking a task down into its key components and examining the hazards of each component to identify the required controls. The output of a JSA can be used in developing written work method statements. Similar processes may be described by a number of terms such as Job Hazard Assessment (JHA), HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) or JSEA (Job Safety Environmental Analysis). Note: JSA is defined at an operational or functional level. If a strategic analysis is required, or in the event that an organisation is implementing an integrated safety, health and environment management system, the correct term is Task Impact Analysis
