How it works

Break the job into steps, identify hazards for each step, decide controls, assign responsibility and check whether the remaining risk is acceptable.

Where it fits

It supports method statements, task risk assessments, toolbox talks and permit-to-work controls.

Next step

Use the JSA document route where a task needs step-by-step hazard control.

Common questions

Is JSA the same as method statement?

No. A method statement explains the work sequence. A JSA focuses on hazards and controls in each step.

Who should be involved?

A supervisor or competent person who understands the actual work should be involved.
