What Is Job Safety Analysis Software?

Job safety analysis (JSA) softwareis a structured way to check a job for hazards before work starts, then track anything found through to correction. Safety Team's JSA module has three parts: a library of pre-built, job-specific hazard assessment checklists (including a Pre-Job JHA checklist), an Identified Hazard and Correction Record for logging and tracking a hazard once it's found, and a Corrective Action Report for investigating an incident after the fact.

Three Parts, One Module

Check, Log, and Investigate, From the Same Place

Hazard Assessment Checklists

A searchable library of pre-built, question-based checklists by job type and industry: excavation phases, portable ladders, fall protection PPE, scaffold safety, vehicle safety, and more, including a ready-made Pre-Job JHA checklist. Pick the one that matches the job instead of building one from scratch every time.

Identified Hazard and Correction Record

Log an unsafe condition found during an inspection (location, who's assigned, priority) and track the corrective action through to a completion date. This is the record that shows a hazard was caught and actually closed out, not just noted.

Corrective Action Report

For after an incident or exposure: who was involved, what happened, the root cause, the corrective action taken, and options to control or eliminate the cause going forward. A different document from a JSA: this one investigates what already happened.

How It Works

From a Phone, at the Jobsite

01

Pick the checklist for the job

Search the Hazard Assessment Checklist library by job type or industry (construction, contractors, industrial, or a checklist built for all industries) and open the one that matches the task.

02

Work through the questions

Each checklist is a set of job-specific questions, from a 3-item post-excavation check to a 29-item pre-job JHA, answered on a phone at the jobsite.

03

Log any hazard found

An unsafe condition goes into the Identified Hazard and Correction Record with a priority and an assigned owner, so it's tracked to a corrective action date instead of just noted and forgotten.

04

Investigate if something happens

If an incident or exposure does occur, the Corrective Action Report captures what happened, the root cause, and what's being done about it, filed from the same JSA section.

JHA vs. JSA

Same Method, Different Name

Job hazard analysis (JHA) and job safety analysis (JSA) describe the same underlying technique. OSHA's own guidance (Publication 3071) uses "JHA." A lot of industry material and vendor software uses "JSA." Neither term is a standalone OSHA standard. The underlying, mandatory requirement is 1910.132(d)'s PPE hazard assessment in general industry and 1926.20(b)(2)'s frequent jobsite inspection requirement in construction. Safety Team's checklist library includes a Pre-Job JHA template directly, so the terminology isn't just marketing. It's one of the actual checklists in the library.

  • A pre-built checklist for the job type, not a blank form to fill in from scratch
  • Checklists cover excavation phases, ladders, scaffolding, fall protection, vehicles, and more
  • Hazards found get a priority and an assigned owner, tracked to a corrective action date
  • A separate Corrective Action Report for investigating an incident after it happens
  • All three run from any phone, iOS or Android, at the jobsite

FAQs

Job Safety Analysis FAQs

What is job safety analysis software?

Job safety analysis software gives a supervisor a structured way to check a job for hazards before work starts and to track any hazard found through to correction. Safety Team's version is a library of pre-built, question-based checklists by job type, paired with a hazard-correction log and a corrective action report for after an incident.

Is job safety analysis the same as job hazard analysis?

They describe the same underlying technique. OSHA's own guidance (Publication 3071) uses "JHA"; a lot of industry and vendor material uses "JSA." Safety Team's checklist library includes a Pre-Job JHA template directly, alongside the other job-specific checklists.

Does OSHA require job safety analysis software specifically?

No. There is no OSHA standard requiring a specific tool or format for a JSA. What's required is the underlying hazard identification: 1910.132(d) in general industry, 1926.20(b)(2) in construction. Software isn't mandatory; it's a way to make sure a checklist actually gets filled out at the jobsite instead of sitting blank in a truck.

What's the difference between the checklist library and the Corrective Action Report?

The checklist library is proactive: worked through before or during a task to catch hazards ahead of time. The Corrective Action Report is reactive, filed after an incident or exposure already happened, to document the root cause and what's being done to prevent it recurring.

Can workers without a company laptop use this?

Yes. All three parts of the JSA module (checklists, the hazard correction record, and the corrective action report) run from any smartphone, iOS or Android.
