2.6
2.7

Select the job or task to be analysed ;

Break the job into logical steps, ideally not more than ten (10) steps in
each Job Safety Analysis ;
Identify the hazards in each step ;
Develop risk elimination or reduction measures for each hazard identified;
Record the Job Safety Analysis on the standard forms and establish a
review period for the the job safety analysis not more than 2 years or
whenever there is a change in the process ;
Display the completed job safety analysis at work site / Plant ;
Review and update the job safety analysis at the required period.

Step 2 - Break The Job Into Logical Steps
i.

Identify simple steps and the order in which they will be performed.

ii.

Try to limit the steps. If there are more logical steps, consider breaking the
major task into two or more task for analysis e.g. operating a rollformer is too
big a task for one Job Safety Analysis. It needs to broken down into :
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.

loading a coil into the uncoiler

feeding the sheet into the rolls
running the product
strapping the product bundles
re-winding the coil
unloading the coil

Step 3 - Identify Hazard In Each Step

Does the job have any of these hazards ?
i. Physical
a. Biological hazards
b. Chemicals or Gases
c. Confined spaces
d. Difficult assess
e. Electricity
f. Ergonomic Hazards
g. Height
h. Heavy Objects
i. Hot or cold Objects
j. Moving Objects
k. Noise
l. Radiation
m. Rotating Objects
n. Vehicles
o. Vibration

p. Other physical hazards

Step 4 - Develop Risk Elimination or Risk Reduction Measures

Use the Heir Archy of Control when thinking of Risk Reduction Measures:

Eliminate the task or process or chemical

Substitute / Isolate change the task, use different chemical

Control - Guards on equipment, maintenance, procedures,

lock out /tag system
4
Administrative - Reduce the exposure and
training

PPE Use immediately as temporary measures while

other risk reduction measures are being put in
place.

Step 5 - Record the Job Safety Analysis

Use the standard Job Safety Analysis form to record the information. Set a review
period for the Job Safety Analysis. This should be whenever, there is a change in the
process. The review period must not be more than two years.
Step 6 - Display The Job Safety Analysis At Work Place
The completed Job Safety Analysis becomes the safe work instruction and should be
permanently available in the work area.
Step 6 - Review the Job Safety Analysis at the Required Period
Each Job Safety Analysis need to be reviewed and updated at regular periods.
