Waterproofing JSA — Common Questions
What is the difference between a JSA and a SWMS?
A SWMS is a legal requirement for high-risk construction work and must include detailed control measures and worker sign-off. A JSA is a simplified hazard analysis used for daily planning, toolbox meetings, and non-HRCW tasks. Many businesses use both.
When should I use a JSA?
Use a JSA for daily pre-start meetings, when introducing new workers to a task, for non-high-risk activities, or as a quick reference during toolbox talks.
Can a JSA replace a SWMS?
No. If the work is classified as high-risk construction work under WHS Regulations, a SWMS is legally required. A JSA complements a SWMS but cannot replace it for HRCW.
Are your JSA documents editable?
Yes. All JSA documents are delivered in editable Word (.docx) format with your business details pre-filled.
