4 Steps in Developing the JSA
1. Selecting the job
2. Breaking down the job into a sequence of steps
3. Identifying potential hazards of each step
4. Recommending safe job procedures

The JSA Process Includes:
A listing of how the person performs the job one step at a time
A listing of potential hazards for each job stepWhat the person must do to avoid the hazard or accident

Training and the JSA
The list of recommendations for performing the job safely form a set of goals for training sessions to be held
Problems to be resolved through training may be ranked in sequence based on: potential hazard liability productivity or greatest cost

Performance Objective
An objective is the desired outcome of a learning situation, stated in terms of observable behavior of the learner
The observable behavior is the exact performance that the learner is able to display as a result of a particular training process

Preparing Performance Objectives
Decide upon the goals to reach at the end of the program
Select procedures, content and methods that are relevant to the objective
Measure or evaluate the trainee’s performance according to the objectives or goals originally selected

Measure of a Good Objective
If you provide another teacher with an objective, and he or she then teaches students to perform in a manner that you agree is consistent with what you had in mind, then you have effectively communicated your objective.
