Hazard Analysis, Job work •To ensure that the right number of people, skill
Safety Analysis, Safety sets, equipment and PPE are included in the plan
Plan) •To identify the types of permits required to do the
work
•For use as starting point for onsite JSA
Job Safety Analysis Immediately pre-job •To involve the work team to make sure that the
