A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a method used to identify hazards associated with a specific task and define controls to reduce risk. It breaks a job into steps, identifies potential hazards at each stage, and outlines actions to mitigate those risks. JSAs are commonly used in safety-critical environments such as manufacturing, utilities, construction, and maintenance.
JSAs help prevent incidents by ensuring risks are considered before work begins. They also improve awareness by making safety part of everyday work rather than a separate activity. When Job Safety Analysis is completed on paper, they can be rushed, incomplete, or difficult to review later.
Digital JSAs improve consistency and accuracy. They ensure all required hazards are considered and that controls are documented clearly. This supports better compliance and safer outcomes.
How this applies to WorkfloPlus
WorkfloPlus digitises JSAs by guiding workers through hazard identification and control steps as part of a workflow. Evidence such as photos, notes, and confirmations can be captured at the point of work. This ensures JSAs are completed properly and provides a reliable record for audits and reviews.
