Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply the JSA process to break down jobs into steps and identify potential hazards.
• Analyze risks associated with each job step using appropriate risk assessment techniques.
• Evaluate existing control measures and recommend improvements to eliminate or mitigate hazards.
• Design a JSA document that clearly communicates hazards and controls to workers.
• Implement JSA findings by integrating them into safe work procedures and training.
• Demonstrate the ability to facilitate a JSA team session, ensuring participation and accuracy.

Target Audience

This course is designed for health and safety officers, team leaders, supervisors, and any personnel responsible for conducting or participating in job safety analyses. It is also suitable for those who wish to improve their understanding of hazard identification and risk assessment in the workplace.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals are essential for learners to apply JSA concepts in real-world scenarios. Through hands-on exercises, learners will practice conducting job observations, hazard identification, risk assessment, and developing controls, ensuring they can effectively implement JSA in their own workplaces.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Job Selection and Step Breakdown — In groups, learners select a job from a provided list and observe it being performed (video or live demonstration). They break the job down into basic steps. (3h)
• Practical 2: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment — Using the job steps from Practical 1, learners identify potential hazards for each step and conduct a risk assessment using a provided matrix. (4h)
• Practical 3: Developing Controls and Safe Work Procedures — Learners develop control measures for each hazard using the hierarchy of controls and write a safe work procedure for the job. (4h)
• Practical 4: JSA Communication and Implementation — Learners present their JSA to the class and conduct a mock toolbox talk to communicate the JSA to workers. They also discuss how to integrate the JSA into daily work routines. (3h)
• Practical 5: JSA Review and Improvement — Learners review a given JSA that contains errors or outdated information, identify gaps, and update it accordingly. They also practice using incident data to improve JSA. (2h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
