The Job Safety Analysis App Built for the Front Line
Sitemate’s Job Safety Analysis App is powered by Dashpivot, and allows site teams to easily log job safety analyses at the job site. Storm, Sitemate’s AI agent, can fill out reports with task steps, hazard controls, and even photos, then site supervisors can review, edit, and sign off directly on the form via e-signature.
Why Job Safety Analysis management Is Harder than It Should Be
Time-consuming manual risk assessments
Workers using paper-based forms take a long time to identify hazards and controls before starting a task.
Delays in getting sign-off before starting work
Paper-based job safety analyses often need to be passed around for review, which can hold up the start of work.
Missing and illegible JSA forms
Paper-based JSA forms can easily get lost or damaged before office engineers get a chance to work on it.
Compliance gaps due to skipped analyses
Due to the time it takes to complete paper-based JSAs, workers may skip the process, which compromises safety and compliance.
A Smarter Job Safety Analysis App
AI-assisted JSA creation
Storm can help turn user prompts into a complete job safety analysis, pre-filled with details specific to user input.
Quick sign-off before starting work
Workers and supervisors can review and sign off on the JSA directly from their mobile device, so work isn’t held up waiting on paperwork.
Hazards linked to relevant controls
Each identified hazard can be tied to its corresponding control measure, keeping the analysis clear and easy to follow.
Compliance gaps due to skipped analyses
The Job Safety Analysis App uses Dashpivot’s cloud storage system where all completed forms are stored. Looking into previous analyses can be done with a few taps and clicks.
Understanding Job Safety Analysis Software
What is a Job Safety Analysis App?
A Job Safety Analysis App is a tool that supervisors and workers use to create job safety analyses, documents that break a task down into steps and identify the hazards and controls associated with each one. These analyses are usually created before work begins, and cover details on the task steps, potential hazards, and the precautions needed to carry out the work safely. With a Job Safety Analysis App, teams can keep a digital record of these analyses, as well as any updates made when task conditions change.
What does a Job Safety Analysis App help record?
- General information like project name, site location, and date
- Task description and the individual steps involved
- Hazards identified for each step
- Control measures and safe work practices for each hazard
- Required PPE and equipment for the task
- Personnel involved and their roles
- Supervisor and worker sign-off
- Supporting photos and attachments
What regulations typically govern job safety analysis requirements?
Job safety analysis is often guided by OSHA, which recommends the process as part of its job hazard analysis guidelines, particularly for tasks with a history of injury or high-risk steps. While OSHA does not always mandate a JSA by name, it is frequently used to satisfy the broader hazard identification requirements set out in the General Duty Clause. In other regions, standards like ISO 45001 call for a similar breakdown of tasks and hazards as part of an organization's risk assessment process. Depending on the industry, additional codes may require a task-specific JSA before work involving hazards such as confined spaces, energized equipment, or working at height can proceed.
-
Feed Storm the JSA details
Personnel conducting the analysis can use the voice recording feature while they walk through the task steps and take photos of hazards or controls, eliminating the need to manually input information.
-
Data mapping
Storm extracts insights from user input, voice notes, and photos, sorts the raw data, and uses those insights to populate the right data fields of the JSA.
-
Review of analysis draft
Personnel in charge of the JSA should review the auto-populated fields to ensure everything is correct, and add any missing context.
-
Supervisor review and approval
Supervisors will then review the JSA for any identified gaps before approving it for work to proceed. Any identified gaps will first be flagged for additional controls or revisions before work begins.

Job Safety Analysis App with Flowsite
Flowsite automatically transfers completed job safety analysis data from Dashpivot into tracking dashboards and reporting systems, removing the need for manual re-entry. Safety and project teams get real-time visibility of hazard assessments and approvals, so work can be reviewed and actioned with minimal admin work.
Comparison: Paper Job Safety Analysis vs Digital Job Safety Analysis
Most project teams already know paper and spreadsheets aren't cutting it. Here's what changes when you move your method statements to a digital system.
Paper |
||
|---|---|---|
| Form access | Instant access to JSA forms by scanning a QR code | Requires asset identification and printing of forms |
| Data gathering | Storm auto-populates fields using photos and voice recordings | Manual data entry, which is time-consuming |
| Task and hazard breakdown | Guided fields prompt workers to record steps, hazards, and controls clearly | Requires manual write-ups, which can miss key details |
| Worker sign-on | Workers acknowledge and sign on digitally before starting the task | Requires manual signatures on a paper sign-on sheet |
| Escalation | Automated notifications escalate critical findings immediately to supervisors | Requires manual hand-offs |
| Storage | JSAs stored in the cloud, accessed by searching or filters | Requires bulky binders, cabinets, and manual searching |
| Supervisors' approval routing | Structured approval routing and notification tracking | Requires physical sign-offs, which can delay approvals |
| Audit readiness | All JSAs immediately available for auditing | Requires manual compiling |
