 To demonstrate duty of care for workforce and 3rd parties
Format Step-3 Break Down the Job into Steps in Order of Sequence
JSA sheet should have at least the following three columns. More columns can be added as  Break down the job to be done into sequential steps
required, but make sure it does not get complicated for the users:  Use definite action words for each step e.g. Open, Stop, Check, Remove, Fix, Close etc.
1. Steps of the task  Make sure the sequence is maintained
2. Potential hazards  Make sure the person directly related with the job is involved while breaking the steps
3. Control measures or procedures  Make observation of the job while it is being done to catch all the steps
Producing JSA Step-4 Identify Potential Hazards Associated with Each Step
Involves five basic steps In conjunction with the “Identified Hazards List” of Step 2, use the following to describe the hazard:
1. Select the job to be done
2. Identify and document all associated hazards
3. Break down the job into steps in order of sequence
4. Identify potential hazards associated with each step MARK THE HAZARDS IN THE NEXT TABLE:
5. Develop control measures for hazards so that the job can be done safely
Step-1 Selecting The Job to be Done 1. Striking against 12. Overexertion/Fatigue by lifting, pulling carrying,
Jobs to be analyzed are: 2. Struck by pushing etc.

UNOC-CPL-SF-190012-Rev: 00, March 2019

1. Jobs that have a history of incident 3. Caught in, on, under, between, against 13. Repetitive motion
2. Jobs that should always be done in the same way 4. Falling from height 14. Awkward position/Static Posture
3. Jobs in which the sequence of doing the task is important for risk management 5. Exposure to high noise 15. Exposure to high speed
4. New jobs or jobs for which the procedure is changed
6. Exposure to high or low temperature 16. Bitten by
7. Exposure to chemicals 17. Exposure to infectious agent
8. Contacting electric current 18. Behavioral issues e.g. taking shortcuts, improper use
9. Slip, trip and fall from height of equipment etc.
10. Slip trip and fall at same level 19. Improper tools for the job
11. Uncontrolled containment (Spill) 20. Simultaneous Operations
21. Others (Specify)
Step-2 Identify Potential Hazards for the job Step-5 Device Controls and Safe Working Procedures
Definition: A hazard is something which by itself or by interacting with other When determining risk reduction measures, use a Hierarchy of Controls, in descending order of preference:
variables can result in: 1. Elimination / Substitution and/or Process Modification
 Physical injury or death 2. Engineering Controls
3. Isolation

UNOC-CPL-SF-190012-Rev: 00, March 2019

 Damage to assets or the environment 4. Administrative Controls
 Production loss or increased liability 5. PPE
Prior to identifying potential incidents & hazardous conditions, identify the Final Check
hazards associated with the works as per the below mentioned hazards list : 1. Make sure the Hazard list is marked
2. Make sure the Supervisors has signed the sheet
