Separating the Job into Its Basic Steps

In the JSA process, it is easiest to deal with each column of the form separately. Logically, we should break the job down into its basic steps first. Each step or activity should briefly describe what is done. Each activity should be fisted on the form in the order it is accomphshed. 

Avoid the common errors of making the breakdown so detailed that an un-necessarily large number of steps resull, or making the job breakdown so general that basic steps are omitted. If a large number of steps result from the analysis (over 1SX you should consider breaking that job into more than one JSA/JHA.
