JSA templates

Most of your jobs share the same hazards. A JSA template is a saved method statement you can drop onto any job and tweak. Open it from Safety → JSA → Templates.

What you can do

  • See your saved templates (e.g. "Hot water swap", "Excavation", "Working at heights").
  • New template (top-right) with its standard steps, hazards and controls.
  • Open a saved template to review its steps, then choose Edit to update tasks, hazards and controls before reusing it.
  • When you raise a JSA on a job, start from a template and adjust for the site.

Tips

  • Build a template for each kind of job you do regularly - it makes raising a job-specific JSA much quicker to prepare and review.

Prepare and use a template

  1. Choose New template, give it a recognisable title and add the recurring task steps, hazards and controls. Save the template and reopen it to review them.
  2. Start the job's JSA and select the intended template. Check that the copied steps match the kind of work you are about to do.
  3. Fill in the actual job/site details and revise the hazards, controls and risk ratings for current conditions. Save the job's draft plan.
  4. Follow Activate a JSA to review readiness and make that plan active. Saving the reusable template does not activate a job's plan.

If the template is missing, return to the template list and check that it was saved. Review an existing job plan separately after changing a template.
