Courses

An excellent risk assessment on paper is not enough: real risks appear in the specific task, with that team, that equipment and those conditions. In this course for supervisors, team leaders and HSE technicians, you follow a team from a fictitious industrial maintenance company replacing a pump in a fuel depot. Understand where the job safety analysis (JSA) sits, between the organisation's risk assessment (HIRA) and the permit to work, and decide when it is needed. Carry out a JSA with the team: break the task into steps, identify the hazards of each step (energies, people, equipment, environment and interactions), and define controls using the hierarchy, with owners, critical controls, hold points and emergency arrangements. Communicate the JSA in the field with a briefing that confirms understanding, including different languages, new starters and contractors. Finally, practise dynamic risk assessment (stop, think, observe, act; "Take 5" type cards), the authority to stop work and the review of the JSA when conditions change. Aligned with ISO 45001 and the ILO Guidelines (ILO-OSH 2001). Includes a JSA sheet in Excel, a briefing guide and a dynamic assessment card. The course is delivered in Portuguese.

What you will learn

• Place the JSA within the risk management system, between the HIRA, the permit to work and dynamic assessment.
• Decide when a task requires a JSA and who should take part.
• Carry out a JSA with the team: steps, hazards per step, controls using the hierarchy, owners and emergency arrangements.
• Deliver a pre-task briefing and confirm the team's understanding, including contractors and new starters.
• Reassess the risks when conditions change, using the stop, think, observe and act cycle.
• Apply the authority to stop work and review the JSA when the task or the conditions change.
