Job Hazard Analysis Training: JSA & JHA for Workplace Safety

⏱️ 20 minutes

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) / Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Training

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) / Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Training Course

This Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) / Job Safety Analysis (JSA) training course provides a practical, step-by-step approach to identifying workplace hazards before injuries occur. Designed for real-world application, the course teaches employees and supervisors how to break jobs into tasks, recognize hazards, assess job risk, and apply effective controls using the hierarchy of controls.

Through clear examples and actionable guidance, participants learn how to perform job safety analyses, improve workplace hazard identification, and reduce injury risk across routine and non-routine tasks. This training supports safer operations in construction, manufacturing, industrial, and general workplace environments by turning hazard recognition into a repeatable process—not guesswork.

The course covers both Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) methodologies, which are essentially the same systematic approach with different names. Participants learn to evaluate job risk based on severity, exposure, and probability, then apply the hierarchy of controls to eliminate or reduce hazards. The training emphasizes turning JHA findings into clear, usable safe job procedures that protect workers and prevent incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the training take?
The course takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Employees can pause and resume at their convenience.

Is this training OSHA compliant?
This training is designed to help organizations meet OSHA requirements for workplace safety. It covers OSHA job hazard analysis principles and supports employer compliance with OSHA’s General Duty Clause to identify and control workplace hazards.

Do employees receive a certificate?
Yes. Upon successful completion, employees can generate a certificate of completion. All progress is stored and can be accessed in the main dashboard under Learner Report.

How often should employees take this training?
We recommend annual refresher training, and all course progress can be reset each year. Additional training may be needed when new job tasks are introduced or after significant process changes.

Can we track completion?
Yes. Training Director provides real-time tracking of assignments, completion status, and quiz scores.

What’s the difference between JHA and JSA?
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) are essentially the same process with different names. Both involve breaking jobs into tasks, identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing controls. The training covers both terminologies.

Is this appropriate for construction and manufacturing workers?
Yes. The training applies to construction, manufacturing, industrial, and general workplace environments. The job hazard analysis process works across all industries where task-based work occurs.

How does JHA training help prevent workplace injuries?
JHA training teaches systematic hazard identification before work begins, allowing organizations to implement controls proactively rather than reacting to incidents. This reduces injury risk and creates safer work procedures.
