    • Job safety analysis (JSA) is a systematic process for identifying potential hazards at a worker’s point-of-work. The objective is to increase risk awareness and implement efficient controls to help prevent workplace accidents and injuries.​

    Any employee in a company working on high-risk activities may complete JSAs. They typically complete a JSA before commencing the high-risk activity with the aim of identifying any hazards and ensuring adequate controls before starting the task. They may identify new hazards or controls, or previously identified ones for their task.​ Since JSA is a point-of-work assessment, it would typically be done on a mobile device.

    JSA provides the following capabilities:
    • Employees can assess risks at their point-of-work and the control measures available for them.
    • Pre-defined jobs in job register that enable employees to file JSAs quickly.
    • Control measures that dynamically improve the more you use them.
