Workplace Safety: Job Safety Analysis Training Course

Have you or someone you know ever been injured on the job? Has your job made you sick or saddled you with a life-long health condition? Do you know someone whose injury or illness kept them out of work for an extended period? Perhaps you’ve experienced a “near miss,” where you were almost hurt, but you got lucky.

Workplace injuries and illnesses happen everywhere. The Department of Labor reports that, in 2023 alone, there were 2,569,000 illnesses and injuries in private industry and nearly 5300 deaths attributable to the workplace.

Workplace injuries and illnesses can occur in any work sector, although they’re especially prevalent in industries like manufacturing, agriculture and construction. And they can be severely or permanently debilitating, not to mention fatal. That’s why every employer should be committed to employee health and safety. In fact, The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) General Duty Clause states that every employer is legally required to provide workers with a safe workplace.

If you’re a manager or supervisor, you’re probably familiar with federal safety regulations. If you’re an employee, you may have received training or seen warning signs to help you work safely. But there are all kinds of possible hazards that you or your employer may not have thought of. Not every safety issue is immediately apparent. How do you avoid injuries and illness that seem to come from nowhere?

The answer is the Job Security Analysis (JSA), a systematic step-by-step procedure developed by OSHA to help you identify and deal with possible hazards before they hurt someone. If you’re interested in taking control of the hazards around you and making your workplace as safe as possible, this course is for you!
