introduction

• safety critical tasks have the potential to cause significant level of injury, harm or loss

• the significant hazards representing medium and high risk

• Safety critical tasks contain unacceptable levels of risk which need to be managed to levels that are as low as reasonably practicable,

often referred to as ALARP• Job safety analysis

is a powerful tool to manage those risks.

What is a Job Safety Analysis?

A user- friendly means of identifying hazards and controlling the risks in our activities.

• JSA is normally A team exercise where a safety critical activity is

broken down into a sequence of basic steps each JSA belongs to a “parent”’ process that has been subject

to Risk Assessment.

• JSA steps:1. Identify associated hazards2. Assess risk and assign risk level3. Define actions to eliminate of control the risk4. Reassess the residual risk5. Document JSA in standard format

What is a Job Safety Analysis?

Define job & identify responsible

parties

Decide risk levelLow risk?

Why is a JSA necessary?

We are committed to protecting:-1. personnel and anyone else who may be affected by our

activities2. Assets3. Environment 4. Reputation

To provide this protection:-1. We must undertake regular and suitable and sufficient risk

assessments of our activities2. We should identify significant hazards and assess the

associated risk

• Note: Those risk assessments are a requirement of international labor legislation

Why is a JSA necessary?

• We need to prioritize our use of resources and to do so we need to methodically assess levels of risk and decide what is tolerable for our organization.1. Low priority: Hazards with negligible consequences or negligible

likelihood of occurring require no JSA.2. Med priority: Hazards with catastrophic consequences and low

likelihood of occurring or hazards with minor consequences and high likelihood.

3. High priority: Hazards which contain a realistic likelihood of significant injury, harm or loss represent an intolerable level of risk

• We need to assess these levels of risk separately, estimating both severity and likelihood of the consequences of the significant hazards which are identified.

Why is a JSA necessary?

• Small group of personnel will be responsible for generating developing and reviewing the JSA.

Personal involved

Department chiefs

personal involved in the activities (own the JSA)ownership means there is a responsibility to participate in and ensure validity of JSA.

Managers

HSEQ Department

to ensure that JSA is performed for all safety critical tasks under their area of supervision

to ensure that only the current version of a JSA exists onboard

to approve the JSA document after generation or after review

Example

Why is a JSA necessary?

The Development of a Job Safety analysis requires a frame for the activity or task.We need to address

1. what we required to achieve2. Personal required3. Resources at our disposal

Tools Small boats Winches, JSA Etc

Example

Why is a JSA necessary?

Break down the tasks into steps composing the activity, starting with preparation and ending in secure completion.Each step should be a concise instruction starting with a verb and ending with a noun.The explanatory details of the steps will be described in the defined actions and controls of the JSASuch Identification of the individual steps will maintain focus on hazards, assessment of risk and provide the basis for a clear instruction.

Example

Why is a JSA necessary?

Identify the hazards associated with each step.Address all significant hazards to:-

1. Personnel2. Assets3. Equipment4. The environment

The risk assessment for the parent process may also be used as a reference to aid in hazard identification.

Example

Why is a JSA necessary?

For each step we must assign risk level.One we have identified the hazards we can undertake risk assessment and qualify the risk level.The JSA can now receive the pre-control risk rating of each of the steps for the categories people, assets and Environment.It should be clear that the parent process risk assessment shall include the highest risk ratings present in any of the related JAS’s

Example

For each step and associated hazards, we must define controls that will reduce the risk to ALARP and tolerable levelsThen address what personal protection equipment is required at each step.These actions are based on a rigorous if not exhaustive identification of hazards and risk assessment.Its important to realize that following the defined actions is the best practice to avoid an incident.

We will assess the risk level when defined actions and controls are implemented and the risk is as low as reasonable practicable.

The residual risk level will be assigned for each step and for the JSA
