Most JSAs get filled out and filed away. They check a compliance box but don't prevent anything. In VETTED, the JSA is a gate — if it's not completed and acknowledged, the permit can't move forward. Hazard identification isn't optional. It's enforced.
Paper JSAs are completed because they're required, not because they're useful. Workers rush through them, checking boxes without thinking. The same generic hazards get listed every time. And critically — no one checks whether the JSA was actually done before the permit was approved. In VETTED, the JSA isn't a suggestion. It's a prerequisite. If the hazards aren't identified and controls aren't acknowledged, work doesn't start. That's the difference between a form and enforcement.
Practical pre-task planning designed for the field, not the filing cabinet.
Comprehensive library organized by task type. Select relevant hazards quickly instead of typing the same ones repeatedly. Add custom hazards specific to your operations.
Hard Hat Buddy AI analyzes the task and suggests relevant hazards. It considers historical data—if similar tasks have had incidents, those hazards are highlighted.
Rate hazards by likelihood and severity using a configurable risk matrix. Prioritize controls for high-risk items. Track residual risk after controls applied.
Guide workers through the hierarchy of controls—elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, PPE. Recommend effective controls for each hazard.
Digital signatures from all team members acknowledging they've reviewed hazards and controls. Capture sign-off on mobile devices in the field.
Attach photos of site conditions, equipment setup, and hazard examples. Visual documentation that helps future crews and investigators.
In VETTED, a JSA isn't a standalone document — it's a required step in the enforcement chain. No JSA, no permit. No acknowledged hazards, no work authorization.
When creating a permit, workers must attach a completed JSA. The permit can't be submitted without acknowledging hazards and controls. This isn't a recommendation — it's enforced by the system.
The JSA checks whether the worker completing it has the required training for the task. Expired confined space training? You can't complete a confined space JSA. Enforcement at every step.
When an incident occurs, investigators see the JSA that was in place. Did it identify the hazard? Were the controls followed? Complete context, automatic linkage — no hunting through filing cabinets.
Hazards identified in JSAs feed into your organization's hazard registry and contractor performance scorecards. Patterns surface automatically. Repeat offenders get flagged.
See how VETTED enforces JSA completion before permits are approved — not after incidents happen.
