Safe Job Analysis

Think before you act!

A Safe Job Analysis (SJA) is a systematic review of a task or work operation to identify hazards and reduce risk before the work starts.

An SJA helps ensure that work is carried out safely by identifying potential dangers, evaluating risk, and implementing the necessary preventive measures.

SJA is especially important when:

• Work involves risk

• Conditions have changed

• New equipment or methods are used

• Several parties are involved in the same task

An SJA should be performed when:

• A work task involves risk

• The activity is unfamiliar

• Work is performed under changing or unclear conditions

• New equipment, tools, or work methods are introduced

• Incidents, near misses, or hazardous situations have occurred

• Multiple companies or contractors are working together

• The task requires special competence or permits

• There is doubt about how the work can be carried out safely

JobBox allows SJA to be completed digitally and signed by everyone involved before work starts.

All participants confirm that they:

• Understand the task

• Understand the risks

• Agree to follow the defined safety measures

This ensures shared responsibility and documented compliance.

• Description of the work task

• Identification of hazards and risks

• Assessment of consequences and probability

• Defined risk-reducing measures

• Assignment of responsibility

• Confirmation that measures are understood and accepted

Everyone involved must participate actively in the SJA process.

Risk is evaluated using a matrix based on:

• Probability

• Consequence

This helps prioritize actions and determine which measures must be implemented before work begins.

• Creates awareness of risk

• Prevents injuries and accidents

• Ensures safe work execution

• Improves communication between workers

• Documents safety measures

• Reduces downtime and costs

• Strengthens HSE culture

An SJA is a practical tool that helps ensure work is done safely every time.
