What difference does it make to the job description?

The job description is specific to the chemical risk: it is mandatory for every position that exposes workers to dangerous chemical agents, whether classified or not (articles R4412-39 and R4412-3). It is the position or process that triggers it, depending on the products used: check them one by one. The job safety sheet is attached to the machine.

Has the INRS validated Optima Job?

No. We have no connection with the INRS.

Security sheet at the station: create one for your machines from their manual

Q: What difference does it make to the instructions?

The notice is written by the manufacturer and covers the entire life of the machine for all its users. The safety sheet at the workplace is prepared by the employer for a given workplace. Optima Job starts from the notice to write the sheet.

Q: Is the produced fiche ready to be displayed?

No. This is a first draft. Your security manager compares it to the actual position, corrects it, and validates it before posting it.

Part of the job description, the DUERP or a photo of the position · Hazards, tasks, measurements, PPE · Free trial, open access

Submit what you have on the machine: instruction manual, DUERP, risk analysis, photo of the position (PDF, DOCX, JPG or PNG). Indicate the position and the workshop. Optima Job will create a first draft of the file.

This first draft is reread: your security manager confronts him in the real situation, corrects him and validates him before publishing it.

Safety instructions at the workplace: the sheet that gets pushed aside

Your operators will not read the manufacturer's manual in front of the machine. No one will consult the single document in front of a running machine.

There is a page missing between the two posts: It is she that Optima Job helps you to write.

Fictitious example, to illustrate the full application: each risk indicates the document from which it is derived.

For whom: QHSE managers, safety managers and machine manufacturers

You exploit the machines.

As QHSE or safety manager of an industrial site, you have a fleet of machines and positions for which the fiche does not yet exist, or has not been updated in a long time.

You manufacture the machines.

You can start from your own notes to deliver to your client a basic form, which he can complete with his workshop and his DUERP.

What Optima Job does not do

He/she does not validate the form: your security manager reads it again and signs it.

It does not replace your risk assessment or your DUERP: it starts from what they contain.

It does not replace the training at the post: the fiche supports it.

He only knows what you give him from your workshop: documents and photos.

What happens to the documents you submit?

«No document is kept.»

Frequently asked questions about the safety fiche at the station

Is the safety card at the station mandatory?

Not under that name: the Labor Code requires the employer to inform workers who use or maintain a machine (article R4323-1) and to train them in safety (article L4141-2), with refresher training when the equipment changes (article R4323-3). Details, and when a job description is mandatory, in our article « Security card at the station: is it mandatory? ».

What does the Labor Code say?

Article R4323-1 lists what the employer must convey: conditions of use and maintenance, instructions (including those in the manufacturer’s manual), handling of foreseeable abnormal situations, lessons learned from experience. Our article on the obligation summarizes these four points and places them on the fiche.

What difference does it make to the instructions?

The instructions are written by the manufacturer and cover the entire life of the machine for all its users. The safety data sheet at the workplace is prepared by the employer for a given workplace. Optima Job starts from the instructions to write the safety data sheet.

What is the difference with DUERP?

The single document lists the risks for the entire company, unit by unit. The job safety sheet translates the risks of a job into instructions that the operator applies. One does not replace the other.

Is the produced fiche ready to be displayed?

No. It’s a first draft. Your security manager compares it to the actual post, corrects it, and validates it before publishing it.

What happens to the documents I submit?

The trial indicates: «No document is kept.»
