Job Safety Analysis (AU)

Duration: 35 minutes

Overview: This course introduces the purpose and process of conducting a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) in Australian workplaces. It covers how to break down tasks into steps, identify and assess hazards, apply the hierarchy of controls, and document findings in a clear and legally sound JSA. It is designed for workers and supervisors who are involved in completing or reviewing JSAs as part of their role.

Why is this course important? A properly completed JSA helps identify hazards before they cause harm and gives workers, supervisors, and organisations a shared, defensible record that risks were genuinely considered before work began. Completing this topic will help learners plan tasks more safely, contribute meaningfully to the JSA process, and understand the legal obligations that come with signing one.

Suitable for: Frontline workers, team leaders, and supervisors who are involved in completing, reviewing, or signing onto JSAs as part of their role. It is appropriate for workers new to formal risk assessment processes as well as those seeking to formalise knowledge gained on the job.
