Introduction
A JSA (job safety analysis) is a procedure that describes the steps required to complete a specific task and identifies the potential hazards and incidents that could arise. The purpose is to proactively outline what could go wrong and put risk control measures in place to reduce the likelihood of those hazards occurring. Dashpivot lets you run digital JSA forms that are faster to complete, automatically organized into a register, and instantly accessible for audits.
How it works
Key Features
Keep JSA templates consistent across all projects and teams
Scan Sitemate IDs of workers to automatically stamp their name, company, and signature onto the JSA — along with the time and location of the scan
Any changes made to your JSA template update instantly across all devices, so your workforce is always using the latest version
Automatically generate a register of all JSA forms completed across all projects, with the ability to filter by project, date range, person, and more
Allow your teams to complete JSAs in the field using the Dashpivot mobile and tablet app, available for iOS and Android
Best Practices
Where possible, use dropdown menus (category fields or list cells in tables) to make completing forms fast and easy
Use list fields where applicable (e.g. area) to make it easy to find records in the register view and filter by list items in analytics charts
Set fields to be required if they must be completed for the JSA to be valid
In template settings, set forms to sort by the date on the form rather than the creation date
In template settings, set the form thumbnail to display the location if working on a large site
Getting Started
You can access a free JSA template from Dashpivot's template library. Go to Templates > Add Template > Browse free templates and search for "JSA" to see what's available. You can update the template name, contents, and settings once it's added to your account.
Use Storm AI Templates to build your JSA forms faster
Storm can generate a draft JSA form based on a simple prompt. For example: "Create a job safety analysis form for electrical work, including hazard identification, risk rating, and sign-off fields." You can then edit the generated template to match your project requirements.
Can workers sign off on a JSA using their Sitemate ID?
Yes — scanning a worker's Sitemate ID automatically stamps their name, company, signature, and the time and location of the scan onto the JSA.
Is a register of all JSA forms created automatically?
Yes — all completed JSA forms are automatically organized in Dashpivot and can be viewed as a register, making it easy to filter by project, date range, or person for audits.
Can my team complete JSAs in the field?
Yes — JSA forms can be filled out on any mobile or tablet device using the Dashpivot app, available for iOS and Android.
Will template updates apply to all devices automatically?
Yes — any changes made to a JSA template update instantly across all devices, so your team is always working from the latest version.
