A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is an important tool that EHS professionals can use to identify and mitigate hazards associated with difficult tasks or job sites.
During a JSA, EHS professionals will identify any potential hazards that accompany each step of a task and will evaluate these hazards’ risks based on two factors: the probability of the hazard occurring and its severity. After completing this risk assessment, safety professionals can ensure that the appropriate measures are taken to prevent the hazards from occurring.
