Overview

Job Safety Analysis Refresher course overview

When you’ve completed hundreds of Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), it’s easy to slip into going through the motions. Risk fatigue sets in, tasks become routine, and hazards that should stand out are missed. This one-day JSA Refresher course is designed for anyone involved in operations and maintenance who needs to revisit and strengthen their approach to carrying out JSAs for new and existing tasks.
 
We focus on practical outcomes, not dry lectures. Our industry-experienced trainers guide learners through the JSA process, reinforcing key concepts such as the difference between hazards and risks, and how tasks should be properly broken down and assessed. Participants revisit how to analyse tasks step by step, consider the work environment, and apply appropriate risk control measures, including the hierarchy of controls, to ensure risks are consistently managed.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on supporting learners to maintain a consistent, high-quality approach to Job Safety Analysis. Participants leave with a refreshed understanding of how to complete and use JSAs effectively, and step back onto the site ready to apply their skills with greater awareness, ensuring hazards are identified and controls are applied every time.

Curriculum

What you'll cover

This course is designed for:

  • Anyone involved in operations and maintenance who completes job safety analysis for new or existing tasks.
  • Learners who already hold NZQA Unit Standard 19522 and need to refresh how they carry out JSAs in day-to-day work.
  • Supervisors, team leaders, and workers who need to revisit task breakdown, hazard identification, and control selection before risk fatigue leads to poor-quality JSAs.
  • Organisations that want a more consistent approach to job safety analysis, work method statements, and safe operating procedures across the workplace.

Our approach

+IMPAC's Job Safety Analysis Refresher training approach

This refresher is delivered as practical training rather than a theory-heavy recap. Facilitators work through the JSA process with learners using guided discussion, realistic scenarios, and structured examples so people can test how they break a job down, identify hazards, and choose controls when the work is familiar rather than new.

Across the session, learners revisit the difference between hazards and risks, prepare work method statements, and work step by step through how a JSA should be completed for a specified job. The focus is on sharpening judgement and consistency, so participants leave better able to spot weak assumptions, apply the hierarchy of controls, and turn JSA documents into something useful on the job.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This course is best suited to people involved in operations and maintenance who complete JSAs for new or existing tasks. It is also useful for supervisors and team leaders who need confidence that risks are being identified properly and controls are applied consistently. It is particularly relevant where JSA quality has become rushed, repetitive, or inconsistent.

JSA refresher training helps workers maintain capability in identifying hazards, assessing risks, and planning work safely. While there is no fixed legal refresher requirement, workplaces still need safe systems of work to remain effective in practice. IMPAC recommends refresher training at least every two years where JSAs are regularly used to manage task risk.

Learners must hold NZQA Unit Standard 19522 and have written and spoken English equivalent to NCEA Level 1 or IELTS 5.5+. If support is needed, IMPAC can discuss suitable options before training.

This refresher is available face-to-face or as a pre-recorded webinar, allowing learners to complete refresher training in the format that best suits their workplace requirements.

The refresher course runs for 1 day, reinforcing job safety analysis processes, hazard identification, workplace controls, and practical risk assessment decision-making. A pre-recorded webinar option is also available for learners needing a more flexible training format.

Yes, this course includes one assessment to confirm learners can still apply the JSA process to identify hazards and manage worksite risks safely.

No, this refresher course does not award a new NZQA unit standard. It is designed for learners who already hold Unit Standard 19522 and need to refresh how they carry out and review job safety analyses in the workplace.

Learners refresh how to break a task into steps, identify hazards, assess risks, and apply control measures using the hierarchy of controls. The course also revisits work method statements and safe operating procedures so JSA processes continue to support practical and effective work planning.

IMPAC recommends refresher training at least every two years to help workers maintain effective hazard identification, risk assessment, and work planning practices. Refresher training may also be needed where tasks, equipment, procedures, or workplace risks change.

Yes, this refresher course is available for in-house delivery nationwide. In-house refresher training can help organisations reinforce consistent job safety analysis practices and workplace risk controls across teams.
