Job site analysis is the first step to writing a job assessment description or work station evaluation.

The Job Analysis is an observational recording (visual, photographic &/or video), written log, and employee interview, of how an employee performs the specific duties of their job. Essential functions and critical demands, potential risk factors, speed and physical requirements of the job are analyzed. Force, height of workstation and amount of weight lifted, pushed, pulled, location of equipment, posture, and repetitions of work tasks are documented. Any improper techniques that may increase injury are noted.
