Feral Animal Control JSA

JSA, JHA, THA, JSEA or a JHA?

What’s the difference?

A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) also known as a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), or Task Hazard Analysis (THA), Job Safety and Environemtal Analysis (JSEA) or a Safe Work Method Statement (JHA) in essence are all the same thing.

They all have 3 main elements:

  1. Job Step (What are you going to do)
  2. Potential Hazard (What can go wrong or cause harm)
  3. Control measure (What are you going to do to make sure it doesn’t go wrong or cause harm)

A JSEA also considers the environmental hazards/ impacts and controls. 

No matter what you call it, The JSEAsy safety Management Software creates a report with the terminology of your choosing.

The main objective of a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is to identify potential hazards before they lead to harm, ensuring that tasks are completed safely.

People often ask, “Can I have a Safe Work Method Statement for Feral animal control?” “A document that covers everything?” The answer is not really.

A Safe Work Method Statement (JHA) needs to document step by step how you are going to do a particular job. Not all jobs are the same! Are you going to perform Aerial Shooting from helicopters or Ground Baiting using 1080 poison?

JHA templates for Safety inspection and use of firearms for hunting
Templates for Ground Baiting using 1080 poison are included in all versions of the JSEAsy OSH Software.

The steps in undertaking each of these tasks are very different. Not only are the steps different, but the potential hazards and the hazard control measures are very different as well.

To restore balance to native ecosystems we must control feral animals.

Feral Animal Control Work involves various Hazards and Risks

Feral animal control often requires you to work in isolation.

Animal Aggression: Involves the potential for attacks, bites, or scratches from feral animals due to their unpredictable behavior. Workers may face challenges in handling these animals safely, requiring proper training and personal protective equipment.

Zoonotic Diseases: Poses the risk of workers contracting diseases transmitted from feral animals to humans. Exposure to bodily fluids, bites, or scratches without proper protection and hygiene practices can lead to the spread of zoonoses.

Chemical Exposure: Involves the risk of exposure to chemicals used in feral animal control, such as tranquilizers or pesticides. Improper handling, accidental exposure, and the lack of protective measures during chemical use are potential concerns.

Injuries from Traps and Tools: Entails the risk of injuries resulting from the use of traps, snares, or other control tools. Improper use of equipment, lack of training, and injuries during the handling of tools are potential hazards.

Vehicle Hazards: Involves the risk of accidents during transportation to feral animal control locations. Lack of training, inadequate vehicle maintenance, and the potential for collisions are concerns related to vehicular hazards.

Terrain and Environmental Risks: Entails the risk of injuries related to challenging or uneven terrain, especially in outdoor and remote locations. Workers may face trips, falls, or physical strain during activities requiring navigation through difficult terrain.

Weather-Related Hazards: Involves exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as heat, cold, or storms. Risks of heat-related illnesses, hypothermia, or other weather-related health issues may arise without proper protection.

Public Interaction: Entails the risk of confrontations with the public, especially in urban areas. Lack of communication skills, potential conflicts with the public, and encounters with individuals who oppose or interfere with feral animal control efforts are concerns.

Lack of Training: Involves the risk of injuries due to insufficient knowledge and training in feral animal behavior and control techniques. The hazard lies in inadequate training programs and a lack of awareness about the associated risks among personnel.

The hierarchy of controls prioritizes eliminating hazards, then using substitutions, engineering controls, administrative actions, and finally personal protective equipment.
A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) identifies and mitigates risks, ensuring worker safety by systematically evaluating job tasks for potential hazards.

    • Shortening the search term. For example, searching for “deliv” would show deliver and deliveries, but if you searched for deliveries, it would exclude deliver.
    • Look for a synonyms/ alternate word for what you are looking for. E.g. tube or pipe
