Job Safety Analysis – JSA


Job Safety Analysis – JSA


Part 3 - Construction Safety Pictorial Guidelines



PPE - Safety Signages for Workplace Awareness


Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a simple but complete means to control the hazards involved as well as potentially unsafe actions most likely to occur in a given activity or job. JSA used to reduce hazards and to train employees in safe procedures. A JSA is important to any effective safety plan. It should be one of the first steps you take when there is a possibility of employee get affected. The best way to perform a job can efficiently and safely be determined only by carefully studying each steps involved in its activity.

When considering a JSA, first analyze the tasks with the worst accident experience or the greatest potential to cause injury to the worker and then the tasks with lesser risks. By establishing priorities, you can use the JSA as a focal point of the accident-prevention program.


CONFINED SPACE STANDBY PERSON RESPONSIBILITIES


A JSA provides a systematic means of reviewing a employees previous experience and knowledge to establish safe work procedures, and it promotes employee involvement in establishing safety awareness while developing safe work practices.

To accomplish the JSA objectives:

• Understand the objectives and means of analyzing jobs steps by steps;

• Develop a plan for analyzing job steps on a regular basis;

• Analyze statistical data, incident experience, and management and employee experience to develop the sequence of job steps;

• Develop an action plan to control hazards identified with a timeline for implementing the action plan;

• Job supervisors review the results of all JSAs for which they have supervision;


Safe Guidelines for Scaffold Erection


• Provide supervisors with a copy of all approved safe job procedures developed as a

result of a JSA;

• Train employees in accordance with the conclusions of the JSA both initially and each time the task is analyzed;

• Safe Work Practices(SWP) Have supervisors regularly observe the employees and ensure they follow safe work practices;

• Authority - Give supervisors the authority and responsibility to enforce adherence to safe work habits.

6. No more than 1.5 metres, is allowed between horizontal bracing (transoms), or ledgers.

7. Provide diagonal supports are also on every other scaffold section.

8. Rolling scaffolds may not exceed 3 times higher than the narrowest scaffold width.

9. Provide wheels on the scaffolds and all scaffold wheels must be equipped with working brakes, and brakes must be set while work is done on the scaffold.

10. Aware all Employees, NOT allow to ride on rolling scaffolds while being moved.

11. Tubular scaffold which exceed 10 meters in height by 6 metres in width must be secured to the structure at 5 metres intervals. And if not possible provide Buttresses of approved design.

12. All scaffolds to be inspected by the competent person, Only GREEN tagged scaffold can be used, no one is allowed on RED, YELLOW or without scaffolding tag.

13. Do not erect, alter, or dismantle any part of scaffolds; this is the scaffolding competent team scope. If it is required to modify a scaffold contact area scaffolding foreman or chargehand to do it.
