When you update a Job Safety Analysis (JSA), BusyBusy automatically tracks the changes and keeps a record of each version. This ensures transparency and accountability—so you always know who reviewed which version, and when.
This article explains how JSA versioning works and what happens to employee signatures when a JSA is updated.
What Is JSA Versioning?
Every time you make changes to an existing JSA, whether it’s updating steps, hazards, or precautions, BusyBusy saves it as a new version.
Each version:
Has its own timestamp.
Keeps a record of the employee reviews and signatures for that version.
Is archived and accessible for future reference.
This means you never lose data from older versions, and each version keeps its own set of employee sign-offs.
How Signatures Work with Versions
When a JSA is updated:
Employees must review and sign the latest version going forward.
Older versions and their associated signatures are still accessible, but are no longer available for new sign-offs.
Signatures from previous versions stay locked to the version they were signed on—for audit and documentation purposes.
How to View Previous Versions and Signatures on Web
To see version history:
Go to “Safety” → “JSA Reports”.
Select the JSA you want to view.
Click on the "Reviewed By" section. On the right side.
Click an employee's name to open their review history.
You'll see a list of all versions they've reviewed.
You can click on any version row to view that specific version of the JSA, including all steps and precautions.
Why Version Tracking Matters
It shows what information employees reviewed, which is critical if safety protocols change.
It creates a paper trail for audits, inspections, or incident follow-ups.
It helps managers confirm that employees are always reviewing the most up-to-date safety procedures.
