Site Specific SWMS (JSA, JSEA, JHA)

This is where you enter in details for your site specific SWMS. Note the reference to "SWMS" will change to "JSEA" or "JSA", or "JHA" depending on the selected region.
You can build your site specific SWMS from scratch, however it is usually easier to build it by inserting templates of the steps that you are going to take in the order in which you are going to take them.

  1. Insert  existing SWMS/ JSEA/ JSA/ JHA Templates into your site specific SWMS
    1. Click on the insert SWMS template button on the RHS of "New Main Process Step"
  2. After inserting a SWMS template if you click on the Main process step, it will select it and highlight in green
  3. When a Main Process step is highlighted in green the associated sup process step will also be highlighted in green
  4. If you click on a potential hazard associated with the sub process step, it will be highlighted in green, and the related control measures will be displayed
  5. From there you can add or delete any entries (main or sub process steps, potential hazards, or control measures.)
  6. click on View/ Edit Signoff List  to take you back to the previous window
  7. Select PPE required for your job
  8. Select/ Edit the duties and responsibilities, Licencing, training requirements etc.. for your job

Hint

If you are going to make a SWMS for a task that you are like to do over again, you are better off making a template that contains all of the job steps, and then inserting tat template into your site specific SWMS. (Note you can not copy an existing site specific SWMS into another job.)

A good example of this is to look at the Bricklaying to new project home template.

  1. Go to the main options
  2. Select an existing "SWMS" template
  3. Open for read only
  4. Type in Brick in the bottom Keyword search box (Search all industry types and all Industry Specifics)
  5. Click in the line that say, "Bricklaying to new project home"
  6. Click ok
  7. Review the template

Print your completed Site specific SWMS (v4.4)

Preview the completed SWMS report

A preview of the completed SWMS report is now displayed.
You can scroll through the pages of the report by using the toggle buttons on the bottom left hand corner of the window

Click on the print button in the top LHS of the window

Printer Dialog Box

The print dialog box is now displayed. From here you can select your default printer and print to hardcopy (paper) or select Microsoft Print to PDF to save a copy as a PDF file on your PC. You can then attach this file to an email if you want to send it to someone.

Hint

The file used by JSEAsy to print your letterhead/logo on plain paper is a JPEG file, Letterhead.jpg, which you may create yourself or TotalTrack Pty. Ltd. can do it for you. The file is limited to 47mm high by 192mm wide

Create the file and name it, “Letterhead.jpg” place in C:JSEAsy and replace the existing file.

To create a jpg file of your letterhead, it is best to use a publishing software package. We use Adobe Indesign, but a lot of people have Microsoft Publisher.  You will need to set up a page that is 47mm high x 192mm wide.  From there insert your logo and text.

Some people have just pulled up there letterhead and then taken a snip screenshot and used that. This will work but the quality will not be very good.

We can create this file for you. Just send us a copy of your letterhead along with electronic copies of your logo and we will create the file and send it back to you.
