The benefits of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) include:
Identifying and addressing potential hazards before they result in accidents or injuries. Raising safety and health awareness among workers and supervisors. Promoting a culture of safety and encouraging communication about safe work procedures. Increasing the job knowledge of those participating in the analysis process. Developing a written work procedure based on the JSA that can serve as a teaching aid for initial job training and as a briefing guide for infrequent jobs. Using the JSA as a standard for health and safety inspections or observations to ensure that safety measures are consistently applied across all tasks and jobs. Serving as a basis for regular contact between supervisors and workers, promoting ongoing communication and feedback about workplace hazards and safety measures. Assisting in completing comprehensive accident investigations by providing a clear understanding of the sequence of events leading up to an accident and identifying any potential hazards or safety measures that may have been overlooked.
