Enable Job Safety Analysis (optional)

If you are using Resco Inspections, you have the option to use the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) inspection from the service and/or job appointment completion form. The inspection 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 the inspection is completed, a Job Safety Analysis report is generated as a PDF file and is attached to the service call on the device. When synced to Signature, the JSA is attached to the service call (for service appointments) or the job's cost code (for job appointments). To have the report automatically emailed to the technician, you will need to Set up Report Email Options for Job Safety Audit option, selecting Service, Job Cost, or All.

The JSA report is also available as an attachment in Microsoft Dynamics GP. 

If the JSA is created for:

  • A service appointment, the attachment is saved to the service call.
  • A job appointment, the attachment is saved to the job's Cost Code.

If you prefer to use the legacy JSA Task List while using Resco Inspections, you do not have to complete the setup steps below. However, on each device, you will need to go to Settings > MobileTech and toggle Use Legacy JSA to Yes.

In addition to the Mobile Admin JSA Setup Options (see Job Safety Tasks), you must complete the steps below to enable Job Safety Analysis from the Resco Cloud Dashboard. You will also need to complete the steps in Working with Resco Inspections (optional). To review the steps for completing a Job Safety Analysis on a device, please go to Complete a Job Safety Analysis Inspection in MobileTech Help.

To enable the Job Safety Analysis form and report, you will need to complete the following steps:

Import the Job Safety Analysis Report to Report Designer

  1. In MobileTech Administration, go to Tools > Launch Resco Cloud Dashboard.
  2. On the Reports tile, select Open Reports.

  5. Select Job Safety Analysis.xml.
  6. Select Open.
  7. In the Import New Mobile Report window, enter the Name of the report: Job Safety Analysis

    This report name must match the report filename.

Set Use Legacy JSA to FALSE on each Device

If you are using Job Safety Analysis, each device will need to have Use Legacy JSA set to False in MobileTech Settings. If this step is not performed, the JSA Tasks icon displays on the appointment completion form. 

This device settings option only displays if the user has the Inspector role assigned in MobileTech Admin.

  1. On the device, select Setup.
  2. Select MobileTech.

Use Job Safety Unsafe Status Setup Option

If setup option “JobSafetyUnsafeStatus” is set and the Inspection report is completed with “Is location safe?” set to “No”, then the appointment status will be set to the JobSafetyUnsafeStatus. The appointment cannot be completed and will be removed from the device on the next sync. See Job Safety Tasks for more information.
