Download Blasting & Painting JSA: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency
While blasting or painting, safety is the most important thing to consider. A well-structured Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is very important in identifying hazards and implementing control measures to minimize risks. In this post, we will provide a comprehensive guide on blasting and painting JSA, including a detailed breakdown of activities, hazards, and control measures. We will also discuss what a JSA is as well as steps it takes towards a perfect safety plan for your project.
What is a Job Safety Analysis (JSA)?
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a method that helps identify possible hazards connected with particular job tasks. A JSA tries to spot perils by breaking every task into sub-activities hence coming up with preventive controls to injuries or damages. This systematic approach ensures safe work environment while still making operations efficient.
Steps in Conducting a JSA
Blasting & Painting JSA Breakdown
1. Blasting
Blasting Hazards and Control Measures
1. Injury due to flying sand particles
Control Measures:
- Use mandatory PPEs(Personal Protective Equipment)and boiler suits.
- Enclose the area to avoid flying particles.
2. Injury due to disconnection of hoses
Control Measures:
- Use good quality hoses.
- Check hose capacity in relation to pressure rating.
- Use proper connectors and tools.
3. Fire risk in compressor
Control Measures:
- Ensure that the compressor is properly earthed.
- Use inspected and certified compressors.
- Provide fire extinguishers near the compressor.
Painting
Painting Hazards and Control Measures
1. Fire & Explosion Risk
Control Measures:
- Store paints and mixers away from flammable objects in well ventilated areas.
- Avoid placing paints and mixers near the compressor.
- Provide fire extinguishers near the compressor.
2. Chemical Hazard (Inhalation of Chemicals)
Control Measures:
- Store all chemical materials separately and barricade the surrounding area. Use blasting hoods.
- Personal Injury (Eye) Control measure – Be sure to use safety goggles.

Loading/unloading material Hazards control measures
1. Injury during material handling
Control Measure
- Don’t handle heavy material with bare hands.
- Where necessary, cranes or hydras can be used.
- Use appropriate tools for each job including correct PPEs.
