ABSTRACT
Job safety analysis (JSA), sometimes called job hazard analysis (JHA), is used as the foundational part of an accident prevention program. Using JSAs, many accident prevention tools and process can be devised; for example, job safety observations can be conducted, safe operating procedures can be developed, potential hazards can be identified, and audit instruments can be constructed. JSAs can also be used as a training tool. Also, potential types of accidents can be identified, such as struck-against, struck-by, contact-with, contacted-by, caught-in, caught-on, caught-between, fall-same-level, fall-to-below, overexertion, or exposure.
