MSMWHS201 - Conduct hazard analysis

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to conduct a hazard analysis. These are typically called:

  • Job safety analysis (JSA)
  • Job hazard analysis (JHA)
  • Job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA)
  • Safe work method statement (SWMS)

It is not intended to apply to simpler routine hazard checks, such as ‘Take 5’, Step Back 5×5’, five step or similar.

This might be done as an independent activity in order to identify hazards and the appropriate hazard controls, or it might be done as part of a broader process, such as identifying and applying for the permits required for a job. 

The conducting of a hazard analysis may be required under a safety case, by organisation procedures or simply as being good practice.
