How do I review a subcontractor's Job Safety Analysis (JSA)?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Check the JSA for clarity on hazards, control measures, and task steps. Make sure it matches the scope of work. Verify that all workers involved have signed off. Look for any past incident reports related to the tasks and confirm compliance with site-specific safety procedures.
Key points
- Look for clear hazard identification.
- Check control measures and task steps.
- Ensure all workers have signed off.
Review the JSA thoroughly to see if it covers all aspects of the job. Ensure it aligns with your site's safety protocols and the specific risks related to the work. If there are gaps, discuss them with the subcontractor before proceeding.
