1 JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS GUIDE Version Date Comments 1 September, 2016 Initial 2 June, 2017 Update procedure A. INTRODUCTION Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a procedure that focuses on individual job tasks to identify hazards and prevent injury or exposure by employing appropriate engineering, administrative, physical controls, as well as personal protective equipment (PPE). The JSA process focuses on the relationship between the worker, the task, the tools, and the work environment. JSA document steps that must be taken to eliminate or reduce workplace hazards to an acceptable risk level. This Guide is based upon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) publication 3071 Job Hazard Analysis and 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I, Personal Protective Equipment. B. SCOPE University supervisors in consultation with EHS are responsible for determining a list of tasks performed by their employees. The JSA process requires employee involvement, review of any hazards associated with work tasks, and identification of controls that can mitigate or reduce hazards. The Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHS) will provide assistance developing the JSAs and supervisors are responsible for training, implementation and revision of the JSA Form. Work tasks which have JSA priority are those that: Have procedures that have the potential to be immediately dangerous to life and health; That can or have resulted in employee injury or exposure; Required lockout/tagout, confined space entry, fall protection, or personal protective equipment (PPE) to perform the task safely; Require the operation of a vehicle (other than an automobile), tool, or equipment capable of causing injury or exposure to an employee or bystanders; and Involve two or more employees, special procedures, or unique process in order to complete the task. C. RESPONSIBILITES EHS is responsible for: Providing training to supervisors on how to complete the Job Safety Analysis Form. Maintaining the JSAs Tracking Log. Assigning JSA numbers and approving submitted JSAs. Responding to questions in the field relating to JSAs. Environmental Health & Safety Office 1

In some cases, EHS will review the task being performed to approve the JSAs. Completed JSAs require review periodically, or if there are changes to the workplace. If the Job Safety Analysis Form is updated, or new tasks are documented using the JSAs process, updated Job Safety Analysis Forms must be submitted to EHS at safety@gmu.edu. G. RECORD KEEPING Supervisors are responsible for maintaining Job Safety Analysis Forms in an accessible location for employees to reference, and training, as needed. When feasible, JSAs will be posted near the hazards in the workplace. All approved JSAs can be found online at MyMason.gmu.edu. To access JSAs: 1.
