The analysis page, item dialogs and risk picker
The analysis page of a job safety analysis opens when you click the analysis on the index. Its heading is the area of the analysis followed by “jsa items”. The page lists the job steps of the analysis in a table, 10 per page, in the analysis’s own order. From here you open the dialogs for adding and changing job steps and the risk picker for scoring them. This page describes the wide desktop layout.

Status filter
Section titled “Status filter”The funnel icon in the Status heading opens a status filter with one checkbox per status (Open, Pending, No action, Closed, In progress). While a status filter is active, the Move row and Insert columns are hidden; reload the page to show them again.
Statuses
Section titled “Statuses”A job step has one of five statuses: Open, Pending, No action, Closed and In progress. All five can be chosen in every status list. In a job safety analysis, the status is a record only; it does not lock fields or change anything else.
Dialog for a new job step
Section titled “Dialog for a new job step”New item and the green + open the same dialog.
| Control | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Job step | The step of the job. Free text. | Empty from New item; the row’s job step from the +. |
| Risk factor | What can go wrong. Free text. | Empty from New item; the row’s risk factor from the +. |
| Status | One of the five statuses. | Open. |
| Close | Closes without saving. | |
| Save | Adds the job step: at the end of the analysis from New item, directly after the row from the +. Needs the Create right. |
Dialog for changing a job step
Section titled “Dialog for changing a job step”Opens when you click a row. The controls appear in this order.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Job step, Risk factor | Free text. |
| Status | One of the five statuses. |
| Risk analysis badges (Personal, Asset, Environment, Reputation, each with its score) | Clicking a badge saves the dialog first and then opens the risk picker for the risk analysis. After you save or close the picker, the dialog opens again with the saved data. |
| Risk Reducing Activity | A single line of free text. |
| Residual risk badges | As above, for the residual risk. |
| Responsible | A list of users with the Approve right or higher on the Job Safety Analysis row, by first and last name, sorted. Can be left blank. Choosing someone sends no notification. |
| Due date | A date picked from the calendar. |
| Close | Closes without saving. |
| Save | Saves job step, risk factor, status, activity, responsible and due date. Needs the Edit right. |
Delete confirmation
Section titled “Delete confirmation”The confirmation names the job step in quotes. Check that it is the job step you want to delete, then click Yes; No cancels. Deleting needs the Create right. The rows after the deleted one move up in the order.
The risk picker
Section titled “The risk picker”The risk picker sets the risk for one side of a job step: either the risk analysis or the residual risk, depending on which score you clicked.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tabs Personal, Asset, Environment, Reputation | One tab per category. |
| Most probable frequency of recurrence | The columns: probability 1 on the left to 5 on the right. Each column is headed by the analysis’s text for that probability level. |
| Most probable consequence | The rows: consequence 5 at the top to 1 at the bottom, each with the analysis’s text for that level. |
| Grid cell | Click to select it: the cell gets a black border and a tick, and the category gets the column’s probability and the row’s consequence. Click the selected cell again to clear the category (score 0). |
| Close | Closes the picker without saving. |
| Save | Saves all four categories of this side at once. Needs the Edit right. |
The texts for the levels are the help texts of the analysis; see The help-text and identification pages.
Scores and grid colours
Section titled “Scores and grid colours”For a job step, the score of a category is consequence × probability, from 1 to 25; a category that has not been set, or has been cleared, scores 0. In a job safety analysis, there is no sum across the categories and no total for the analysis. For a job step, the risk analysis and the residual risk are independent: saving one does not change the other.
The grid cells have fixed colours:
| Consequence | Probability 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Yellow | Yellow | Red | Red | Red |
| 4 | Green | Yellow | Yellow | Red | Red |
| 3 | Green | Green | Yellow | Yellow | Red |
| 2 | Green | Green | Green | Yellow | Yellow |
| 1 | Green | Green | Green | Green | Green |
In the table and the dialog, a score of 0 is shown as a grey badge.
