What must be included in a Job Safety Analysis (JSA)?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) must include the job steps, hazards associated with each step, and control measures to mitigate those hazards. It should also document who's responsible for implementing the controls and the date of the analysis.
Key points
- Job steps must be clearly outlined.
- Identify hazards for each step.
- Include control measures and responsibilities.
A JSA is used to assess safety before starting a job. It helps workers understand potential risks and how to manage them. Make sure everyone involved is familiar with the JSA and their specific roles in maintaining safety.
