Job Safety & Hazard Analysis (JSA/JHA)

Health and safety awareness is an essential feature of the training and development of staff, but more importantly, the pro-active prevention of work related accidents and incidents. Employers have a responsibility both for themselves and for their workers under welfare and safety legislation. Consequently the need for job safety arises. Job safety starts with the job safety analysis which is broken down into its component parts of any method or procedure to determine the hazards connected with each key step and the requirements for performing it safely. A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a highly effective tool used to examine and establish the safest way to complete a work task. The term JSA is often used interchangeably with Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).
