JSEA
Also known as: Job Safety and Environmental Analysis
A Job Safety and Environmental Analysis is a JSA extended to cover environmental risks (spills, emissions, contaminated land disturbance, biodiversity impacts) in addition to safety risks. JSEAs are common where an ISO 14001 environmental management system is in place alongside ISO 45001.
Legal context
JSEAs emerged in industries where safety and environmental risks are intertwined — civil works, mining, oil and gas, contaminated-land remediation, and any work near sensitive ecosystems. The structure is identical to a JSA but with explicit environmental columns: aspect, impact, environmental controls, and an environmental risk rating. A JSEA produces both a safety-risk score and an environmental-risk score and treats them in parallel.

JSA
A Job Safety Analysis is a step-by-step task-level risk assessment: break the job into steps, identify the hazards for each step, decide the controls, assign responsibilities. JSAs are not legally named in the WHS Regulations but are a near-universal industry practice for crew-level pre-task analysis.
SWMS
A Safe Work Method Statement is a written document required by WHS Regulation 299 for any high-risk construction work. It identifies the work, the hazards, the controls (in hierarchy-of-control order), the residual risks, and the person responsible. The principal contractor must keep it for the life of the project.
Risk assessment
A risk assessment is the structured analysis of a hazard: what is the hazard, who could be harmed and how, what is the likelihood and consequence, what controls reduce the risk, and what residual risk remains. The output drives the hierarchy-of-control decisions and the SWMS / SOP / register entries that flow from it.
