When to use a JSA vs a SWMS
Use a SWMS when the job involves any of the 18 categories of High-Risk Construction Work in Schedule 3 of the WHS Regulations. Use a JSA for everything else where a written risk assessment is sensible — maintenance work, one-off tasks, or jobs that fall outside HRCW. The same generator handles both.
Built for Australian conditions
State-aware legislation references, Australian terminology, hi-vis/PPE conventions, and hazards drawn from real Aussie sites — heat, dust, traffic, working at heights, mobile plant, manual handling.
Frequently asked questions
What is a JSA?
A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) breaks a job into steps, identifies the hazards in each step and lists the controls that will keep workers safe. It's a flexible risk-assessment tool used across construction, maintenance, manufacturing and trades.
What is the difference between a JSA and a SWMS?
A SWMS is legally required under the WHS Regulations for the 18 categories of High-Risk Construction Work. A JSA is a more general risk-assessment tool you can apply to any task — many businesses use a JSA whenever a SWMS isn't strictly required but a written assessment is still good practice.
Is the JSA template free?
You can generate your first JSA free during the trial. After that, unlimited SWMS and JSA documents are $20 per month or $200 per year.
Can I include site-specific risks?
Yes. The AI uses your job description, location and state to draft realistic, site-specific hazards. You can edit any step, hazard, control or risk score before downloading the PDF.
Does the JSA include a risk matrix?
Yes — every step gets a 5×5 likelihood × consequence risk score before and after controls, colour-coded for quick review.
