NGA 71 Operator Excavating And Backfilling In The Vicinity Of A Pipeline (Critical AOC) Practice Test

What are the three components of a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for NGA 71 operations?

Hazard identification, risk assessment, and management of project timelines. Risk assessment only. Identification of hazards and PPE only. Hazard identification, risk assessment, and selection/implementation of control measures (engineering, administrative, and PPE).

Correct Answer:

Hazard identification, risk assessment, and selection/implementation of control measures (engineering, administrative, and PPE).

Explanation:

In NGA 71 operations, a Job Safety Analysis is a structured way to manage hazards for a specific task near a pipeline. It has three parts: first, hazard identification—systematically spotting all potential hazards associated with the job and site conditions; second, risk assessment—evaluating how likely and how severe the harm could be from each hazard; and third, selection and implementation of control measures—choosing and applying appropriate controls to lower risk, including engineering controls (design changes, isolation, barriers), administrative controls (procedures, permits, training, supervision), and personal protective equipment. This approach ensures safety is planned into every step of the job and adjusted if conditions change.
