When a job is planned onboard:
1) Check first if it is covered by the
Master Safety Document
(MSD) /
Document Unique de Prévention
(DUP)
;
2) Check if a
Generic-JSA (G-JSA)
and/or a
CheckList (CL)
and/or a
Permit to Work
is available;
3) If it is not the case but required by the MSD, a
Specific-JSA (S-JSA)
must be issued by the vessel for
this task. A Specific JSA
shall
always be done when a specific task, not included in the MSD has to
be performed. The Master Safety Document will be updated accordingly annually with the feedback
provided by ships.
Should
the nature of the operation to be performed induce significant change(s) to be considered, then a
Management of Change shall
be carried out (see
section 7
) before starting the job preparation process.
Jobs regarded as being suitable to make a
Job Safety Analysis
(JSA) are determined by the degree of
potential hazard of the job as per MSD/DUP recommendations. The persons involved
shall
determine the
job steps to be analysed and their priority. There are 5 considerations to make in the selection of a job for
analysis and in deciding priorities:
x
Past loss record:
Past experience may clearly indicate jobs with a history of severe or frequent
safety losses. Accident analysis will provide the necessary data to prove the need for analysis of
these jobs.
x
Job injury severity
: The actual and potential job injury severity
should
be analysed in order to set
priorities in assessment.
x
Probability of re-occurrence:
Both actual and potential losses
should
be considered in terms of how
they can be expected to happen.
x
The unknown and unfamiliar
: New jobs
should
always be assessed on potential or known risks.
x
Requirements as indicated in Hazard Identification (HAZID) analysis.
As a part of Company pre-job planning procedures, a JSA
shall
be conducted before work is carried out.
Each job of work onboard a vessel or at a base or other facility where any potential risk is involved,
shall
be
fully analysed in order to quantify the risk and to determine if any such risk can be removed or reduced.
The Job Safety Analysis (JSA) uses the 5 conventional risk assessment principles as follows:
x
Identifying the hazard;
x
Deciding who may be harmed;
x
Evaluating the risks and determine residual risk;
x
Recording the mitigating measures and implementing them;
x
Reviewing the assessment.
Each step of the job
shall
be submitted to an analysis of the risks involved using these risk assessment
principles. The quality of the analysis is driven by those who are engaged to do or supervise the job.
Regardless of whether a job has been assessed before, effort
shall
be applied to thinking about what
new or changed risks are or may be present and how they can be controlled.
