In this course we're going to talk a little bit about safe task analysis and job hazard analysis, which is also known as job safety analysis. We’ll begin with why these analyses are so important for employees, especially in facility maintenance. If you take a look at the kind of accidents that occur, sometimes we go into these areas without fully understanding the hazards we may be exposed to.
Please note that, the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is the same thing as a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), especially when you go through the sequential operation.
It’s important to have a safe plan in place that would include the type of equipment you wear, the kind of facility that you may be in, the hazards that are present, whether they be physical or chemical, or any additional hazard that may present itself. So the purpose of this course is to motivate you to work diligently at performing a safety task analysis, as well as a job safety analysis.
