1. Purpose To outline the principles and process for developing a Job Safety and Environmental Analysis (JSEA). Note: The TE JSEA template meets the requirements of a Work Method Statement as defined in Part 17 of the Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008. The term, Work Method Statement (WMS), is interchangeable with JSEA.

Developing a JSEA ensures that the hazards involved in each step of a job are properly considered and documented for future reference. It does not replace the use of standard work or maintenance procedures and instructions, or the need for

Doc No: HSE-PROC-07 Rev: 1 Rev Date: 13.05.09 Page 2 of 21


training. However, it does provide a structured method for evaluating a task and determining the effective management of any health and safety hazards or environmental impacts that may result from doing the task.

2. Context and Scope The audience of this document is all employees and contractors performing work at Tarong Energy operated sites. The JSEA process ensures that hazards/impacts are identified and controlled on a day-to-day basis during work activities, typically across Tarong Energy operational sites. The JSEA process is an integral part of TE’s risk management process and is managed under the organisation’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Environmental (E) Management Systems.

Outside the scope of this document are a number of other tools and processes used to document how hazards and risks to the organisation are managed. These tools also form part of the OHS&E Hazard Management Systems and typically address longer term health, safety, environment and corporate risks for the organisation i.e. the Corporate Risk Management System, the TAMS Risk Database, and the Environmental Aspects and Impacts Process.

3. Responsibilities

Manager Operations

To allocate responsibilities and resources to ensure effective site-specific implementation of this procedure.

Health and Safety Manager / Environment Manager

To maintain the currency and accuracy of this procedure reflective of legislative and corporate change.

Line Managers and Supervisors

To ensure workers under their supervision are aware of their responsibilities under this procedure and comply with relevant requirements. To ensure workers under their supervision are trained to perform JSEAs.

Employees and Contractors

To comply at all times with the requirements specified within this procedure.

4. When is a JSEA required?

A JSEA is required to be undertaken: • for all jobs where a pre-start risk assessment (HSE Star Card)* determines

that the risk rating is extreme, high or medium with controls in place; • all non-routine work (confined space, working at height, excavation etc); • the introduction of new plant/ equipment/ processes; • jobs involved with past injuries, incidents and/or illnesses, or • live electrical work

*HSE Star Cards T-1288 (Pre-start risk assessments) – These cards are a tool to assist in identifying, assessing and controlling hazards before commencing, and



during a task. HSE Star Cards assess tasks with controls to determine when a JSEA is required.

5. Minimum requirements of a JSEA A documented JSEA needs to include the following:

• a general title/description of the job to be carried out, • a list of the plant/equipment involved in the job. • a list of personnel involved in the JSEA process (a minimum of two

competent persons) • a sequential breakdown of the tasks involved with the job. • an identification of the hazards relating to each of the tasks determined, • a list of control measures intended to ensure the safety of people, plant and

environment, • an analysis of risk relating to the hazards if the intended control measures

are implemented as planned, and • documented evidence showing appropriate independent checking and

approval of the information contained in the document. To ensure that all of the above requirements are met, the Supervisor / OIC is to ensure that the JSEA team completes all sections of the JSEA worksheet (Form T-1022) in full. This includes the work team sign-off section, which upon signing indicates the individual understands the hazards and controls associated with the task.

6. Process Chart The process for completing a JSEA is illustrated in the process charts below and described in the subsequent sections.







7. The JSEA Process

Step 1: Identify whether job requires a formal JSEA to be completed. Refer to Section 4.

Step 2a: Consider whether a JSEA has already been written for the job. When preparing for a job where a JSEA is required, people are encouraged to search the JSEA database to see if one already exists. This allows checking for risks you might not have thought of, but which were previously identified by other workers. Appendix 3 provides instructions on how to locate a previously documented JSEA in the Ellipse and TAMS database. There are two distinctly different types of JSEA:

• Job-Specific JSEAs: These are scanned from the JSEA used for the job, then saved in TRIM. The paper copy is filed in Records. The JSEA is linked to Ellipse using the Document Manager (MSQ580). Each job-specific JSEA is also linked (in Ellipse) to the particular plant item (i.e. KKS), work order, standard job and other documents related to that particular job. When using a scanned JSEA copy for a job, the JSEA shall be reviewed and re-typed into a new word document. This ensures the JSEA is current and can be signed by the current work party. This also allows for easy use the next time the JSEA is required.

• Standard JSEAs: These are generic JSEAs typed into the current JSEA worksheet format that can be re-used. These are typed into MS Word from the original job-specific JSEA. There is no paper copy, but the electronic document is saved in TRIM with another JSEA number. The typed version includes corrections or changes needed to make the JSEA consistent with coding standards in Ellipse and TRIM and is linked (in Ellipse) to every potential plant item (i.e. KKS), standard job and other documents that could be relevant to this job. The Ellipse specification code –STD (“Standard”) is assigned to this type of JSEA. Standard JSEAs are maintained and kept up-to-date as changes are made to the JSEA form, processes or procedures.

When using an existing JSEA:

• ensure the scope of work is covered by the JSEA (refer to Job Description on the JSEA worksheet).

• The JSEA must be fully reviewed prior to re-use. That is, the entire content of the form must be reviewed before commencing work and consideration given to what may have changed since the last time the job was done, and include any new risks in an updated version of the JSEA.

• appropriate JSEA content checks and approval needs to be obtained prior to commencing work.

• ensure the work team has been explained the hazards and control measures identified on the JSEA and have signed the JSEA to indicate that they agree to comply with the JSEA safety requirements.



Note: Repetitive work on the same type of plant at different locations Where repetitive work is being undertaken on different items of the same type of plant, an existing JSEA is to be printed out, completed/reviewed and signed by the work team for each location the work is being carried out. i.e. The same JSEA worksheet cannot be used across all locations of plant because although the work method may be identical, different plant items are involved and the hazards of the work environment may be different at different locations.

Step 2b: When an existing JSEA is not available, prepare a new JSEA. Assemble a team to do the JSEA (minimum of two competent people): Include those people who will be involved in doing the job (or have done the job before). Health and safety and environmental personnel should also be considered when forming a team.

Use the JSEA worksheet template (Form T-1022) found via:

• The controlled document finder under Tarong TP3 on TarongNet.

• The Safety intranet page

• The Environment intranet page

• Microsoft Word/File/New/Templates on my computer/HSE

Complete the first page of the JSEA worksheet: The Job Description component of the JSEA worksheet is to be documented in a clear way that identifies the nature of the work to be undertaken and any specific plant or process involved. Relevant hazards are to be identified as well as the requirement for expert advise, PPE requirements and required controls, etc are to be detailed on the JSEA worksheet.

Note: the JSEA No. and Standard JSEA field will be completed by the administration officer when filing the JSEA in the Ellipse database. All new JSEAs shall be assigned their TRIM record number (e.g. 07/32610). All old JSEA numbers (before TRIM) will eventually be converted to their TRIM record numbers. The old JSEA number (e.g. JS640) shall be added as a reference so it can still be used to locate the JSEA.

Step 3: Break the job into logical steps: A job is a segment of work that requires a set of specific and distinct actions for its completion.

• Identify simple steps and the sequence they are to be performed. Walk through the job at the location if possible. Each step should start with a verb e.g. lift, turn, open, close, etc.

• The steps are to relate to higher level groupings of tasks that when complete represent the milestones of the job.

• Due to the complexity of some job scopes, numerous groupings of tasks may actually be undertaken simultaneously by various groups of personnel, and hence become difficult to show in a sequential task order. Where this



is the case, groupings of tasks within a JSEA may be more clearly shown by including an additional sub-activity title. These sub-activity titles are to be clearly shown within the JSEA.

When developing a JSEA consider the following:

o What? What job/materials/ tools & equipment will be used or handled? Identify and briefly describe the job, the materials involved: chemical, biological, weight, size?

o When? When will the job be done? Day/night, time of year?

o How? How might the job affect: people/activities/equipment/ the environment? How will the job be done? Consider what can go wrong.

o Where? Where will the job be done? At height, confined space, remote location?

o Who? Who is responsible for the work area? Has the Coordinator/Supervisor been informed of what is taking place in the work area?

o Past injuries / incidents

Has the job been involved with past injuries, incidents and/or illnesses? If yes, ensure recommendations/controls for management of the risk from the incident/investigation report are included in the JSEA.

Step 4: Identify the Potential Hazards & Impacts Be specific when identifying potential hazards and impacts - avoid general terms such as “personal injury” or “pollution”. Consider the following hazards:

Potential Environmental Hazards

Spills to water - stormwater

Release of emissions to air

Spills to land -contamination

Disturbance to plants or animals / removal of vegetation

Inefficient resource use (eg water, materials)

Noise / vibrations (offsite Impacts)

Inefficient electricity use / production of Greenhouse Gas

Disturb Cultural Heritage Sites

Waste generation

Disposal or transport of wastes from site

Spreading of weeds and pests

Use of pesticides / insecticides

Potential for fire

Other

Potential Health and Safety Hazards

Electrical Occupational dust, fumes Work at height Other

workers Heat Occupational noise

Occupational gas releases

Confined space

Flammables / combustibles

Rotating / moving Objects Weather

Excavation Manual

handling Microbiological

Lighting Pressure Access and exit Chemical Radiation Fatigue Asbestos

Driving Other



Does the job, environment, work situation or combination of these, have the potential to give rise to injury or illness? Consider the following mechanisms of injury:

Struck by Slip/trip/fall Caught in/on Inhalation

Dust/chemicals Fire/explosion Dropped objects Strike against

Exposure to gas/heat/fumes

Strain/over-exertion

Also consider:

Prevention of pollution to the environment Human factors ie. competency, training, fitness, fatigue, etc

Simultaneous operations Damage to other employees & equipment

Cultural heritage Impact on the community

Step 5. Selection of control measures

By systematically developing appropriate control measures for the hazards and impacts that could occur at each step we seek to make the job safer and improve work efficiency.

For each identified hazard or environmental impact, identify a hazard control which will make the conditions surrounding the job safe (refer Appendix 1 – Guidance for Selecting Hazard Control Measures).

When determining hazard and impact reduction measures, apply the hierarchy of control (refer to Appendix 2). Priorities are to be aimed at eliminating hazards completely, or to otherwise select control measures that will result in an acceptable level of risk for people, plant and the environment. Assign a responsible person for implementation of each hazard control. Assigning a responsible person for each of the required hazard controls ensures that accountability is in place and that the job flows smoothly.

Controls need to be reviewed throughout the job to ensure they remain adequate for the hazard. The job shall also be reviewed throughout to ensure no new uncontrolled hazards have developed or been introduced throughout the workings.

Step 6. Risk Analysis and Approval The following consequence (severity) and likelihood (frequency) classification tables, and risk ranking matrix, are used to obtain the potential risk ranking associated with each step of the job (with controls). These tables are also included on the last page of the JSEA Worksheet.

Risk Assessment

For each job step evaluate the level of risk with the controls in place. That is, a risk level is to be identified for each hazard assuming that the selected control measures will be implemented and function as intended. The highest risk ranking identified in the job steps will determine whether the job can be done safely and in an environmentally responsible manner. Approval of the JSEA is based on this ranking (calculated before controls and with controls). When assessing risk before controls, consider:

• The worst credible consequence if an accident occurred; and • The likelihood in relation to the breakdown event occurring during the job.

When assessing risk after controls, consider: • The most likely consequence if an accident occurred (given the controls

selected to reduce risk); and • The likelihood of an accident occurring with the controls in place.

The highest risk ranking is to be recorded on the sign-on page of the JSEA worksheet and signed off by the corresponding level of management relevant to the level of risk. Refer to the table below:



Table 1: JSEA Approval

Highest Risk Ranking Approval by

Negligible-Low Job Supervisor

Medium Coordinator or Line Manager

Extreme General Manager

Step 7: Record the JSEA, Communicate JSEA requirements to work team and do the Job

Utilise the JSEA Worksheet (Form T-1022) and record relevant information under the headings:

o Step number o Job step summary o Potential hazards / Environmental Impacts o Required hazard or impact control o Risk Ranking (with controls in place) o Responsible person(s) for implementing the designated hazard controls.

• Have the JSEA reviewed and signed off by the appropriate level of management corresponding to the level of risk (Refer to Table 1 in step 6).

• Instruct all personnel carrying out the job of the steps identified on the JSEA Worksheet. Have the work team sign-on to the JSEA to indicate that they agree to comply with the safety requirements. Work team involvement is an essential part of the JSEA process and provides an opportunity to ask questions about any steps that may be unclear and also to refine or improve the JSEA.

• Ensure a copy of the JSEA Worksheet is readily available at the workplace.

• Do the job in accordance with the JSEA.

8. Monitoring and Review Monitoring Risk Control Measures:

All workers and supervisory personnel are responsible for informally monitoring risk control measures during work activities, to ensure:

• chosen control measures reduce risk levels to as low as reasonably achievable (utilising the hierarchy of controls),

• chosen control measures have been implemented correctly and as planned,

• the control measures are working effectively, • the control measures have not introduced new hazards or complicated

existing hazards.

A review of developed/existing JSEAs is to be undertaken: • when the task is completed to confirm that all the steps and hazards

associated with the job were identified; • if legislation or standards addressing the hazard are introduced or modified,



• if there is an incident (a person, plant or the environment is harmed through exposure to a hazard that the JSEA addressed),

• if there is a change in the work environment/processes concerning the hazards for which the JSEA was originally developed.

9. Storage of records At the completion of the job, the completed JSEA worksheet is sent to the work team’s supervisor for review who then forwards the worksheet to Asset Services for processing into the TEC Ellipse database / TAMS Risk Database and hard copies filed at TPS Records.

10. Contractor Management Where it is identified that a contracted party is the most appropriate party to undertake a specific work task(s), a contractor’s documentation may be accepted as part of the JSEA development process. Where this occurs, TE’s HS&E principles are to be adopted as a minimum standard. Contractor JSEA/WMS documentation is to be forwarded to the HS or E team for review prior to work being undertaken.

11. Definitions Acceptable level of risk:

A risk or working situation that, after an informed decision is made, is considered a minimal acceptable risk to both TE and the workers who will be affected by the hazard or hazardous situation.

Competent person:

A person who has acquired, through training, qualifications, experience or a combination of these, the knowledge and skills enabling the person to perform the specified task.

Control measure:

The implementation of the hierarchy of control options to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

Hazard: A source or situation with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill health, damage to property, damage to the environment, or a combination of these.

Hazards may be physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic or psychosocial or a combination of these. Note: A hazard does not represent a safety risk if people are not exposed to it. Similarly an environmental impact does not represent environmental risk until there is a possibility of damage to the environment from exposure to the impact. Therefore HSE risk arises when a person or the environment is exposed to a hazard or impact.

Hierarchy of controls:

The ranking of risk control methods in a hierarchy from most to least preferred. Normally a combination of controls is used depending on the nature of the hazard and the workplace. The hierarchy in order of preference encompasses the following:

• Elimination • Substitution • Isolation



• Engineering controls • Administrative controls / Training • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Refer to Appendix 2.

JSEA: Job Safety and Environmental Analysis. A process where health and safety hazards and environmental impacts associated with each step of a job are identified, the associated risk is analysed and evaluated taking into consideration appropriate controls that will reduce the level of risk to an acceptable level so that work can be undertaken safely / without harm to the environment or damage to property.

Job A job is a segment of work that requires a set of specific and distinct actions for its completion.

Loss: Any incident which causes injuries to people, damage to property, or results in process loss or harms the environment.

Risk: (In relation to any potential injury or harm) the likelihood and consequence of that injury or harm occurring.

Risk analysis:

The determination of the magnitude of an event’s consequences and likelihood, to establish a level of risk using the risk matrix (refer to the JSEA worksheet Form No. T-1022).

Appendix 1 - Guidance for Selecting Hazard Control Measures First ask: “Will a clearance certificate or specific authorisation be required to do some tasks?” If yes, controls will be required as part of that certificate / authorisation. Authorisations issued at Tarong Energy include, but are not limited to:

• Land Clearance and Disturbance Certificate;

• Permit to Work;

• Hot Work Authorisation;

• Confined Space Authorisation;

• Excavation Permit;

• Asbestos Work and Removal forms;

• Unprotected Edge Risk Control Authorisation;

• Requirement to Start Electrical Work Authorisation.

The following table can be used to assist in hazard identification and identifying suitable controls:

Potential hazard Check questions Possible control measures

Gas, Dust, Fumes Are there any air pollutants now?

Will there be any air pollutants generated?

Are there any fire alarms nearby that may be set off?

isolate, wash down or wear PPE

provide ventilation away from workers and restrict access

disconnect and arrange additional warning devices

Noise Will you need to shout to be heard? move work away from noise source or provide PPE

Spills Can something be spilt or overflow?

If so, can harm happen to people, area or plant?

control flows or re-route flows

erect bunds or barricade the area

Environmental If something spilt or was released, would the environment be affected?

Pressure test equipment

Utilise bunding

Electrical Is there live equipment in the area? isolate or barricade hazard

Mechanical Is there any crush points or moving parts?

isolate or barricade hazard

move work away from hazard

Chemical Are there any hazardous chemicals in the area?

Will you be handling any chemicals?

isolate or minimise exposure times

attach MSDS and wear PPE

Temperature Is the work area hot or cold?

Can you contact very hot or cold surfaces?

reduce working times and wear PPE

provide barriers or distances from sources



Potential hazard Check questions Possible control measures

Pressure Are there any high pressures present?

isolate, protect or barricade pressure sources from work area

Manual handling Will the work involve lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling?

Will the work be in an awkward position?

reduce heavy loads, use lifting teams or mechanical means

reduce working times and share duties

Ignition sources Will the work involve cutting, welding or sparks?

restrict access and place protective guards

determine if a “Hot Work Authorisation” and “Permit to Work” is needed

Light Is the work area dark? move job or install lighting to the area

Radiation Will the work be within 1m of a density gauge?

seek approval from radiation safety officer.



Appendix 2 - Hierarchy of Workplace Risk Control Measures The “hierarchy of control’ should be applied whenever health and safety hazard controls or environmental impact controls are being considered. In accordance with this hierarchy, the first efforts should be to avoid the risk altogether. If this is not possible, efforts should be made to combat the risk at its source through good engineering design. The hierarchy is as follows:

Elimination - Eliminate the hazard or impact altogether to avoid the risk (eg stop using a dangerous substance if it is not necessary, use a safer method of work);

Substitution - Change the activity or process to one that is less harmful;

Engineering Control - Separate people from the hazard or limit the number of people exposed by enclosing or physically guarding the hazard; use pollution control technology; securely bund environmentally hazardous substances.

Administrative Control - Design a safe system of work that reduces the risk to an acceptable level

Provide written procedural controls, (eg SWPs). Provide adequate supervision. Identify training needs and provide required competency-based training. Consider other administrative controls (eg rules, permit-to-work controls,

reduce exposure via shift work arrangements, signs, warning placards, etc).

Personal Protective Equipment - Protect people by providing appropriate PPE (this should always be the last resort).

Appendix 3 – How to find a JSEA JSEAs can be found from either Ellipse or TAMS. All JSEAs are in Ellipse, but only JSEAs linked to equipment (i.e. KKS codes) are in TAMS. Important: While using an existing JSEA, remember to review the JSEA before commencing work and consider what may have changed since the last time the job was done, and include those risks in your version. Ensure the scope of work is covered by the JSEA. Ellipse The Ellipse Document Manager (MSQ580) is used to locate and view JSEAs. This can be accessed by either:

• Locating the Document Manager in the menu and double-clicking it. • Typing JSEA into the Quick Launcher panel and pressing Enter.

The search screen has a number of tabs. Each tab allows additional parameters to be entered to refine your search further. Parameters in the Primary tab are mandatory. Parameters in the other tabs are optional. Once all parameters have been entered, click “search” to initiate the search.

Double click on a particular JSEA to view the document codes, then click in the toolbar to view the JSEA itself. Primary Tab Use the parameters below to list all active JSEAs. Active job-specific JSEAs will still need to be re-written using the current version of the form T-1022. Use the Exact Match Search Method and specify a Document Number to locate a particular JSEA.

Note: All Standard JSEAs shall have a specification of “–STD”. By adding –STD as the Specification parameter in the general tab, only standard JSEAs shall be returned in the search.



All other search criteria are the same as outlined for job-specific JSEA searches. Hint: Add Document Specification as a column in your defined view of MSQ580 to easily identify the standard JSEAs. General Tab All JSEAs have an Author Company (e.g. TARONG ENERGY CORP or CBH etc.). If an old JSEA number is known it can be located by entering it as the Reference. Text Tab Enter words, or parts of words that may have been used in the JSEA name. Each line is “OR-ed” with the next. The example below would locate JSEAs with “FAN” or “BLADE” in the document name.

Classifications Tab This filters the records to those of a particular document classification. JSEAs are all of type “PRO” (Procedure).

Links Tab This filters the records to those that are linked to another Ellipse entity. Many different types of links can be assigned. These include other documents, KKS codes (equipment), standard jobs and work orders. The Link Type defines what sort of entity is to be searched for (e.g. EQ – Equipment), and the Link Reference is that actual entity code (e.g. T1HJA44).



Versions Tab Each JSEA has at least one version. Versions shall now be managed in TRIM. The version contains information such as: • Who wrote the JSEA (Originator) • Who authorised the JSEA (Authorised By) • When the JSEA was written (Date From, Date To) • Who entered the JSEA into Ellipse (Creator). • What TRIM container holds this JSEA (Folder, eg WHS/9) Any parameters entered here further refine the search. TAMS JSEAs that have been linked to KKS codes can also be accessed from TAMS using the Reference Ellipse Documents menu as shown below:

Double clicking one of the JSEAs opens the corresponding JSEA form. Hint: Use the Document Type Desc to filter the list to only view JSEAs.
