Abstract:

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is currently investigating approaches to reduce the

frequency and severity of work-related injuries. The incident rates for CDOT are significantly higher than those

achieved by some private organizations (e.g., Kiewit) and comparable DOTs. One element in determining the

current state of safety practices within CDOT is evaluation of Job Safety Analysis Forms (JSAs) and their current

use. This study examined the effectiveness of these forms in terms of worker perspectives and the overall

organizational strategies associated with the forms.

Study results indicate that CDOT has a mixed record for implementing JSAs. There is a very positive attitude

towards the JSAs and a strong willingness by workers to enhance the safety record. However, this positive is

balanced by an equally strong negative aspect in terms of actual usage of JSAs in relation to the intent of the

program.

Implementation:

• Organize an Accelerated Safety Improvement Workshop where the intent and usage of JSAs would be a

central focus.

• Ensure that leadership responsibility for JSA implementation and safety awareness at work sites is clearly

understood.

• Create a feedback process where data collected by Regional Safety Officers (RSOs) can be used by crews

to modify behavior.
