# [How to Audit Your Job Safety Analysis ("JSA") Program](https://www.safetyproresources.com/blog/how-to-audit-your-job-safety-analysis-jsa-program)

Your Job Safety Analysis ("JSA") Program should be [audited regularly](https://www.safetyproresources.com/safety-auditing) to make sure that it is working as intended to help you reduce accidents.  We recommend randomly selecting a sampling of JSA's from your files (about 15-20% of your total number of JSAs) for auditing.  Here are some of the items you should be looking for as you review the JSAs:

- Is the task description sufficiently detailed?
- If periodic reviews are required by your policy, are the review dates current?
- Is the location of the work correctly identified?
- Is the JSA legible and detailed enough to assure employees understand the risks and mitigations?
- Does the JSA sufficiently address the behavior and actions of each employee?
- Are the mitigation steps required actually able to be performed by the team members?
- Has the JSA been approved for use by the supervisor or management?
- Are all entries filled out?

We also recommend that the auditor go into the field to make sure that the JSAs are being used effectively. This should include:

- Observation of JSA meetings to ensure that meetings are being conducted and the necessary employees are involved and engaged in the process.
- Determining whether management has budgeted sufficient time to complete the JSA planning process.
- Observation of the post-job critique to make sure participants are engaged in the process and encouraged to report how their task proceeded.

Your [safety auditing process](https://www.safetyproresources.com/safety-auditing) should also include a mechanism for reporting deficiencies in the process and determining and following up on corrective actions.  Find out more about our [Safety Programs](https://www.safetyproresources.com/safety-programs) and [Safety Auditing](https://www.safetyproresources.com/safety-auditing) by SafetyPro
