The JSA index and the analysis dialog

The index is the page that opens when you select Job Safety Analysis in the left menu. It lists your company’s job safety analyses, 10 per page, under the heading Job safety analysis index. The analysis dialog holds the information about one analysis; it appears as Add JSA when you create an analysis, Edit JSA when you change one from the index, and JSA analysis when you open it from the analysis page. The module appears in the left menu only if your company has it and you have at least the Read right on its row.

Right on Job Safety Analysis What it allows here
Read Open the module, see the list and open an analysis.
Edit Also change the information of an analysis.
Create Also create analyses and delete them. Create includes Edit.

All buttons and icons are shown to everyone who can open the index; only the right listed lets the change through. Your user administrator grants the rights; see Give a user access rights.

The controls appear in this order above the list.

2 Creation date The date the analysis was created, in your language’s date format.
3 Updated at When the analysis was last changed. For a job safety analysis, Updated at changes only when the analysis information in the Edit JSA dialog is saved with a change. Adding, changing, moving or deleting job steps or their risk values does not change it.

The confirmation has the title Delete JSA and the text “Are you sure you want to delete job safety analysis “<area>”? This will delete all job safety analysis items !“, with the area of the analysis in the quotes. Check that the area is the analysis you want to delete before you click Yes. Yes deletes the analysis and all its job steps; No cancels.
