Identify three elements of a good Job Safety Analysis (JSA).

• A. MSDS, PPE, and training records.
• B. Hazards, permits, and inspections.
• C. Task steps and hazard identification.
• D. Task steps, hazards identified, and documented controls with safe work procedures.

Answer: (D)

A good Job Safety Analysis focuses on what to do, what could go wrong at each step, and how you will prevent it in a documented way. The best choice includes all three pieces: the task steps, the hazards identified for each step, and the documented controls expressed as safe work procedures. This combination makes the analysis actionable—you can follow the exact steps, see the specific hazards associated with each step, and apply the approved controls consistently through written procedures.

Other options mix in items like MSDS, PPE, and training records or reference permits and inspections, which are important for safety in general but are not the core elements that comprise a complete JSA. They don’t by themselves provide the step-by-step task, the hazard mapping, and the written, applied controls in one integrated document.
