Job safety analyses will be conducted before any task commences. Debswana Jwaneng mine Job safety
analysis Procedure PR-SD-S&H-023 will be adopted and followed to comply with this requirement.
Supervisor will ensure that all employees under his supervision understand the process of completing a
job safety analysis of every task using JSA form FRM-SD-S&H-09
The purpose of this procedure is to provide a consistent and effective approach to identifying hazards
and assessing associated risks about task execution and in developing mitigation measures to control
these risks
The following steps will be followed when conducting a job safety analysis:
 Take a blank job safety analysis form to the job/task site.
 Write the title of the job/task on the job safety analysis form.
 Walk the work site to be familiar with the workplace and environmental conditions.
 Write steps of performing the task in a sequential manner.
 List all possible hazards and aspects involved in each step.
 Identify who might be harmed. This includes people who may be sharing the workplace with you
and passers-by.
 Complete the job safety analysis form using the checklist at the back including stating actions to
be taken to control the hazards/aspects and prevent injury/environmental impact.
 Make sure that mitigation measures follow the ‘Hierarchy of Controls’.
 To complete the job safety analysis, the form must be signed by all team members.
 The supervisor shall counter-sign the job safety analysis form

3.2 (A) PROJECT RISK ASSESSMENT

In determining the Baseline Risk Assessment, Staff Connect follows Debswana Jwaneng mine procedure
entitled Identification of hazards and assessment of risks (PR-SD-SH-12), to guide the process or
Identification of Positive Environmental Aspects Procedure (PR-SD-ENV-12). This procedure identifies
hazards and risks associated with the project. Controlled measures are developed to manage identified
risks. The control measures that are put in place follow the hierarchy of controls as in the below
sequence:

 Elimination - All defective tools and machines shall be removed from site and those being used
will be inspected and colour coded as per the respective quarter colour code.

8
Classification: Confidential

 Engineering-Installation of barricades between construction site and offices to reduce


exposure to hazards.
 Isolation- We shall follow the lock out tag out procedure and other electrical safe work
procedures.
 Administration-We shall develop a training schedule and matrix and ensure our employees
are well trained and informed on SHE matters. Safe work Procedures shall be developed to
guide safe execution of activities, inspections, job safety analysis and planned task
observations shall be conducted to ensure compliance with the set requirements.
 PPE-Provision of proper PPE as per Debswana Personal Protective Procedure, PR-SD-SH-018
and Staff Connect PPE matrix.

(b) Baseline Risk Assessment


Once the risks are identified, they shall be assessed as to determine their potential severity, loss
property and the probability of occurrence.
