We help clear up this common question below.<\/p>\n<h3>JSA vs SWMS: What\u2019s the difference?<\/h3>\n<p>A JSA is a form of risk assessment tool. It is sometimes referred to as a Job Safety &amp; Environment Analysis (JSEA) if environmental components have been included in its content.<\/p>\n<p>Undertaking a JSA prompts those involved in the work task \/ activity to complete a review of the work step (analysis of the job), identifying potential hazards, assessing associated risks and outlining control measures that need to be implemented to eliminate or minimise the risk.<\/p>\n<p>A JSA should be completed prior to the development of your SWMS.<\/p>\n<p>Tip:\u00a0The hazards and control measures identified in the JSA can be used in preparing a Safe Work Method Statement of the work activity, with content transferred onto your SWMS.<\/p>\n<p>A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) basically sets out the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>work activities in a logical sequence<\/li>\n<li>hazards<\/li>\n<li>control measures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The purpose of a SWMS according to WorkCover Queensland is to \u201chelp supervisors, workers and any other persons at the workplace to understand the requirements that have been established to carry out the high-risk construction work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A SWMS should describe clearly the control measures to be implemented at each job step, allowing those involved to easily carry out works in accordance with the SWMS.<\/p>\n<p>SWMS should be produced for work which is determined to be \u201cHigh Risk Construction\u201d under the WHS Regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Author:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Monica<\/p>\n<p>Source: \u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.safetyculture.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.safetyculture.com.au<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where a JSA lists control measures used the SWMS describes the control measures and how they should be implemented.
