This course equips learners with the skills to conduct a Job Safety Analysis (JSA). Learners examine tasks to determine the safest and most effective ways to complete them, identifying potential hazards and acting to prevent injuries.

Overview

Job Safety Analysis course overview

Scribbling on a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) form to tick a compliance box without actually considering the task and environment isn’t managing risk—it’s just a piece of paper. This one-day Job Safety Analysis course is designed for anyone involved in operations and maintenance who needs to know how to carry out a JSA for new or existing tasks. It builds understanding of how to define tasks, break them into steps, identify hazards, assess risk, and apply effective controls.
 
We focus on practical training, not just theory or death by paperwork. Our industry-experienced trainers guide learners through the JSA process in a clear and structured way, supported by hands-on activities. Participants develop the skills to analyse tasks step by step, consider the environment in which the work is carried out, and identify hazards and risks. They also learn how to apply appropriate risk control measures, including the use of the hierarchy of controls, to ensure risks are effectively managed.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on building capable people who can apply JSA in a practical way to support safe work. Participants leave with a clear understanding of how to complete and use job safety analyses effectively, and step back onto the site ready to apply their skills to identify risks before they cause harm.

Curriculum

What you'll cover

This course is designed for:

  • Workers involved in operations and maintenance who need to carry out job safety analysis for new or existing tasks.
  • Supervisors and team leaders who need a practical process for planning work safely before it starts.
  • Health and safety personnel supporting task-level risk assessment, work method statements, and safe operating procedures.
  • People responsible for identifying hazards, assessing risk, and choosing workable controls for day-to-day jobs.

Our approach

+IMPAC's Job Safety Analysis training approach

IMPAC teaches this course in a practical, step-by-step way so learners can see how a job safety analysis works before the job begins, not after something has already gone wrong. The training breaks the process into clear stages: defining the task, mapping the steps, identifying hazards, assessing risk, and choosing controls that are realistic for the work being done.
 
Learners work through scenarios, guided discussion, and hands-on exercises that reflect everyday operations and maintenance work. The focus is on making sound decisions in the real environment around the task, preparing work method statements, and applying the hierarchy of controls so the finished JSA is useful on site rather than just another form to file away.
