Under JSA Tasks click Add/Update next to task
Add all the tasks that are required to walk through the JSA
Note: this is done one task at a time
All tasks can be rearranged as you enter them, but it is best practice to enter them in order of completion.
Once all tasks are added click update tasks
Next to each task you need to add a hazard start by clicking No Hazard Identified
These do not have a hyperlink, but if you click that statement it will allow you to select the Hazards
All custom Hazards will be labeled with an asterisk
You may also assign a severity level to each hazard here, but it is optional.
You will repeat this step for each task created
Once you have the Hazards added please click Update Hazards
You will also need to add a control by clicking on No Controls Identified
A Hazard must have a control.So this will be done for each Hazard created.
You can add multiple controls to each Hazard as well.
All custom Controls will be labeled with an asterisk
Once you have the Controls added please click Update Controls
If applicable you can add Training that is required for the JSA by clicking update next to required training
Click update next to PPE for any specific PPE needed for the JSA
Under JSA Chemicals you will click update next to Chemicals to add them
Please note: there is a chemical hazard section but you cannot add to this section.
Chemicals can only be added if they already exist under Chemical Maintenance.
Under JSA Photos you can add photos that are specific to a certain task on the JSA Tasks.
Click edit after you add it to assign it to the specific task.
The PDF section under JSA Photos is most commonly used for User Manuals that might need to be included. Those can be added here.
Attendees section is if you choose to print the JSA and have your employees physically sign. Please note the mobile app you can collect digital signatures.
Once you’ve completed all of the above your employees can complete a JSA.
