REMOVING THE HAZARD FROM THE JOB efits come from use of the JSA m these phases of the supervisor's work 1 Giving Individual training to employees 2 Making employee safety contacts 3 Instructing the new man on the Job 4 Preparing for planned safety observa tions 5 Giving prejob instructions on irregular jobs b Reviewing job procedures after accidents occur 7 Studying jobs for jiossible improvement in job methods. When a JSA is distributed, the supervis or's first responsibility Is to explain its con tents to employees and, if necessary, to give them further individual training The en tire JSA must be reviewed with the men concerned so that they will know how the job is to be done-without accidents. The JSA can furnish material for planned safety contacts All steps of the JSA should be used for this purpose The steps that present major hazards should be empha sized and reviewed again and again in safe ty contacts New men on the job must be trained in the basic job steps They must be taught to recognize the hazards associated with each job step and must learn the necessary pre cautions There is no better guide for this training than a well-prepared JSA Occasionally, the supervisor should ob serve his men as they perform jobs for which job safety analyses have been devel oped. The purpose of these observations is to determine whether or not the men are doing the jobs in accordance with the safe job procedures Before making such obser vations, the supervisor should prepare bunself by reviewing the JSA m question so that he will have firmly in mind the key points that should be part of his observa tions Many jobs, such as certain repair or serv ice jobs, are done infrequently or on an ir regular basis The men who do them will benefit from prejob instruction that reminds them of the important hazards and the nec essary precautions. Using the JSA for the particular job, the supervisor should give this instruction at the time he makes the job assignment. Whenever an accident occurs on a job covered by a job safety analysis, the JSA should be reviewed to determine whether or not it needs revision If the JSA is revised, all employees concerned with the job should be informed of the changes and instructed in any new procedures When an accident results from failure to follow JSA procedures, the facts should be discussed with all the men who do the job. It should be made dear that the accident would not have occurred had the JSA pro cedures been followed All supervisors are concerned with im proving job methods to increase safety, re duce costs, and step up production The job safety analysis is an excellent starting point for questioning the established way of doing a job And study of the JSA may well sug gest definite ideas for improvement of job methods Purchasing The safety department should have excel lent liaison not only with the engineering departments but also with the purchasing department Purchasing for safety It should be the duty of the safety de partment to devise and put in writing the safety standards that will guide the pur chasing department These standards should be set up so that the hazards involved m a particular land of equipment or material be ing purchased are eliminated (as by substi tution of a safe material for a dangerous one) or guarded for the protection of the worker, the machine, and the product Hie purchasing agent is not concerned closely with educational and enforcement activities, but he is vitally concerned with many phases of the engineering activities It is his duty to select and purchase the various items of machinery, tools, equip ment, and materials used in the establish ment, and it is his responsibility--at least in part, and often to a considerable degree-- to see that in design, manufacture, and par ticulars of shipment of all these items, safety has received adequate attention. In one example, a lead hazard occurred in the unloading of litharge (PbO), which was shipped in 10-gallon paint pads with covers These pads arrived, either m trucks or in boxcars, with a film of litharge on the outside When they were moved, a lead 4-14
