Job Safety Environment Analysis (JSEA)

​1.    Breaking Down the Job into Steps
•    List each task in sequential order
•    Make steps specific but not too detailed (typically 8-12 main steps)
•    Include setup, operation, and clean-up activities
•    Consider both routine and non-routine aspects of the job
•    Document who will perform each step
2.    Identifying Potential Hazards
•    Physical hazards (falling objects, moving machinery)
•    Chemical hazards (toxic substances, fumes)
•    Biological hazards (bacteria, viruses)
•    Ergonomic hazards (repetitive motions, awkward postures)
•    Environmental hazards (weather, noise, lighting)
•    Energy hazards (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic)
3.    Risk Assessment
•    Evaluate the likelihood of each hazard occurring
•    Assess the potential severity of consequences
•    Consider existing control measures
•    Determine the overall risk level (typically using a risk matrix)
•    Prioritize hazards based on risk level
4.    Control Measures Development
•    Follow the hierarchy of controls: 
o    Elimination (remove the hazard)
o    Substitution (replace with safer alternative)
o    Engineering controls (redesign/modification)
o    Administrative controls (procedures, training)
o    Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
•    Specify required permits or certifications
•    Define emergency response procedures
5.    Implementation and Communication
•    Assign responsibility for each control measure
•    Establish timeframes for implementation
•    Document required training or competencies
•    Create clear communication channels
•    Ensure all workers understand their roles
6.    Review and Monitoring
•    Regular review of control effectiveness
•    Update when conditions change
•    Document any incidents or near-misses
•    Incorporate lessons learned
•    Maintain records of reviews and updates
