4. DETAILED GUIDANCE

4.1.1 Factors That Impact Quality. TTJA quality is directly linked to two critical

factors: (a) assembling a team of two to six subject matter experts, 1 supervisor, and 1

safety engineer/specialist, and (b) using a trained TTJA facilitator. A trained TTJA

facilitator (one who has been trained in the methods of table-top job analysis) is required to

maximize effectiveness of the job analysis. Without both factors, the resulting analysis is

questionable at best.

Some general conventions associated with TTJA are listed below:

The coordinator/facilitator is qualified through training and practical experience.

Team members are subject matter experts (SMEs).

Supervisors that are on the team are SMEs as well.

The same team members participate throughout the entire session

Tasks statements meet the criteria for acceptable task statements

team that is put together must operate together as a team. Each member must be aware

of his/her role and responsibilities while on a TTJA team. Observers are welcome but

must not participate as team members.

analysis coordinator is used to refer to the person who plans the job analysis process,

makes the necessary pre-session arrangements (including selection of team members) and

provides for verification of the team-generated tasks. The coordinator may or may not act

as the facilitator of the session.
