Course Introduction
High-risk environments such as construction sites, oil & gas facilities, and heavy industrial settings demand a rigorous approach to hazard identification and control. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a proven method to systematically assess job tasks, uncover potential hazards, and implement controls before work begins.
This 5-day course provides an in-depth understanding of how to conduct effective JSAs, integrate them into safety programs, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Through real-world examples, group exercises, and practical tools, participants will gain the skills to create safer job plans, reduce incidents, and drive a strong safety culture.
