JSA Software: task steps, hazards and controls

JSA, JHA and pre-task-plan products to test

Tekmon pays for a sponsored placement (above); its place in this list follows the same rule as every entry. How lists are ordered

Same rule for every product: tagged “Risk Assessment”, “Hazard Management”, “Safety Management”, “EHS Management”, “EHS”, “Construction Safety”, “Permit to Work”, “Permits to Work (PTW)” or “Control of Work”, with a sourced job safety analysis (JSA/JHA) or pre-task planning capability in its record, or one the vendor stated to us, labelled as vendor-stated. 15 qualify; the first 8 are shown, then the other 7.

  Documented: Control-of-work linkage (conditional). Source: safetymint.com

• SafetyReports

  SafetyReports publishes a JSA-specific offline procedure: prepare reference databases and selected JSAs before disconnection, then explicitly synchronize changes. Current suite pricing places JSA in Premium; do not assume the standalone Inspection subscription includes it. Plan a demonstration of revisions, crew access and final review, and confirm whether sharing a PDF meets your needs or whether live acknowledgment and version control are required.

• Tekmon

  Vendor-stated: Job Safety Analysis. Not yet confirmed in public documentation; ask to see it in a demo.

  Documented: Operational risk assessment and control verification. Source: cority.com

• HammerTech

  Documents permit and pre-task-plan workflows for construction projects alongside worker orientations. A complete offline matrix for permits and pre-task plans was not established by our research; build your JSA as a pre-task plan and demonstrate crew sign-off in the proposed configuration.

Where a JHA sits in US OSHA requirements

OSHA's Job Hazard Analysis booklet (OSHA 3071, 2002 revised) describes the method: focus on job tasks, look at the relationship between the worker, the task, the tools and the work environment, and prioritise jobs with severe-injury potential, new or changed jobs and complex jobs. It is guidance, not a standard that requires a written JHA for every task.

Specific standards can still require a documented assessment. For example, 29 CFR 1910.132(d) requires the employer to assess the workplace for hazards that call for personal protective equipment and to verify that assessment through a written certification. Check which requirements apply to your work before deciding what the JSA record must contain.

Task review is separate from permit authorization

A permit-to-work workflow needs its own authorization rules, roles and checks. Demonstrate any proposed connection to the assessment, including what happens when a control changes after approval.

A signature records acknowledgment; it does not establish understanding or competence. Map JSA, JHA and SWMS terminology to your process and applicable requirements. A generic form does not establish that a product produces every required document or that the controls are suitable.

Use findings from near-miss reports and risk assessments to review the workflow with responsible people.

Sources and how we evaluated this

Reviewed using linked official documentation and the source list of each linked profile, which carries its own check date. The comparison retains pricing conditions rather than estimating rates.

Our evaluation methodology uses functional depth 25%, usability and adoption 20%, implementation and TCO 15%, integrations and API 15%, security and trust 15%, and customer voice 10%. No numerical score or customer-review rating is assigned here.

This is documentation research, not certification or hands-on testing. AI-assisted explanations may be incomplete and do not replace primary documentation or a demo. Sponsored placements and partner introductions are separate from this list.
