Performing a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) means looking at a work task, identifying the hazards involved, and putting controls in place to minimize risk and prevent injury. Worksafe Victoria provides information on how to conduct a JSA.

AroFlo lets you record the details of your JSA on a JSA worksheet via:

• Workflow > Compliance > Risk Templates or via
• Site Administration > Settings > Compliance > Risk Templates.

Create a risk template

Risk templates are used to create electronic JSA forms for your staff to access and complete on a task. Once JSAs have been established for particular tasks, they can be saved within AroFlo as templates, which can be used to create new JSAs as required. The following subsections explain how to create a JSA.

Add tasks/procedures

1. Click the (plus sign).

   The Task Template button allows you to import tasks from existing templates. Simply select a template from the list by double-clicking and clicking Import Template.

   The Activities and Risks sections also contain the option to use templates.
