What Types of Job Need JSA?

Many different types of jobs can benefit from a JSA, and JSAs are used across many different industries. In determining which jobs may need a JSA more urgently than others, priority should go to the following:

  • Jobs with the highest injury or illness rates
  • Jobs with the potential to cause severe or disabling injuries or illnesses, even if there is no history of previous accidents
  • Jobs in which one simple human error could lead to a severe accident or injury
  • Jobs that are new to your operation or have undergone changes in processes and procedures
  • Jobs complex enough to require written instructions
