Job Safety Analysis

If you are using Resco Inspections, any Technician who is assigned the Inspector role has the option to use the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) inspection. Job Safety Analysis is tailored to ask specific questions about the site, to allow the Technician to identify hazards, and to document the steps they will take to remove risk. When completed, a JSA report is generated as a PDF file and is available as an attachment to the service call on the device and in Microsoft Dynamics GP. For more information, see Enable Job Safety Analysis (optional) in the MobileTech 8.5 Installation and Administration Guide. and see Complete a Job Safety Analysis Inspection in MobileTech Help.

If you would prefer to use the legacy Job Safety Analysis form and report, on each device, you will need to go to Settings > MobileTech Settings and toggle Use Legacy Job Safety Analysis to Yes. This setup option only displays if you are using Resco Inspections and the Technician has been assigned the Inspector role; otherwise, Technicians would continue to use the JSA Task List.
