WRITING A JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS

WHY?

To review jobs performed by SONOCO employees that potentially could cause injuries, illnesses or damage to equipment or property.

Hazards to doing those jobs safely may be:

Obstacles, barriers, or obstructions overlooked in the design of the location, buildings, tools, machinery, or workstations. EXAMPLE: a protruding (at eye level) valve in a walkway

Situations that may have developed after production (work in the area) began. EXAMPLE: a grating walkway that sags due to excessive use over a long period of time.

Situations that may have resulted from changes in work practices. EXAMPLE: dirty laundry is usually taken outside galley to grocery box. Because of placement of new equipment on deck, the grocery box is now moved to the other side of the platform. Therefore the job changes due to the work site changes

New personnel who never have performed the job before. EXAMPLE: new hire utilityhand, new to offshore and to the site.

THE JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS (JSA) DEVELOPS SOLUTIONS TO ELIMINATE THESE HAZARDS. These solutions may include making physical changes in operations such as putting a safety guard on a machine or tool, or by developing a step-by-step procedure for handling a task.

WHAT WILL BE THE BENEFITS? IF DONE CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY, THEY:

Provide individual training in safe work habits.

Instruct new employee.

Re-train and upgrades veteran employees' safe work habits.

Help to develop a "safety conscious attitude".

Increase safety efficiency, productivity, and attention to detail.

Improve management-supervisor-employee relations.

Improve and encourages employee involvement and participation.

WHAT JOBS ARE SELECTED?

In the past, those jobs with the worst accident experience or the worst potential were chosen. BUT ALL JOBS WE DO ARE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS and the work site is also a hazardous place IF we do not follow set work procedures and stay aware of our surroundings at all times,

Therefore the list of jobs/tasks for JSA’s include all routine and non-routine jobs.

Hazards to look for:

Being caught in or between objects.

Being stuck by or striking against objects.

Slips, trips, falls.

Strains from:

Lifting
Twisting
Bending
Pushing
Pulling

Breathing toxic vapors or fumes.
Contact with injurious materials, hot or cold surfaces.
Thermal (heat producing) environmental extremes.

WHEN TO WRITE THEM

There will be no meeting on crew change day unless the contractor has one and requires our attendance

There will be 2 safety meetings held as usual, that accounts for 2 days of the hitch.

A pre-job meeting will be held 4 days per week. 5-10 minutes should be all that is needed

A JSA will be written each of those days. Pick a topic from the list. Write one on a particular task to be done that day, such as "UNLOADING GROCERIES"

The lead will be the Ex St or Steward with help from the positions involved in writing the particular JSA. The person involved may be the lead with guidance from the Ex or St

Make a copy of the JSA, send to the office, keep the original on board
