Home › Products › Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Form — Task-Level Safety Planning
Break down every risky task before the crew starts. Prevent incidents before they happen. A Job Hazard Analysis template for documenting the specific hazards of each construction task — step by step — and the controls required to eliminate or minimize each hazard. Required by OSHA for high-risk tasks and expected by commercial GCs and owners.
Superintendents, foremen, and safety managers on active construction sites. JHAs are required by commercial owners, school districts, hospitals, and government projects. Even on residential sites, completing a JHA for high-risk tasks (roofing, trenching, heavy lifts) documents that hazards were identified and controls were in place before work started — which is critical in the event of an incident and resulting litigation.
Required by every general we work under. The starter JHAs for common tasks saved us hours — we just customize for the specific site instead of starting from scratch.
We had an incident on a roofing task. The JHA we completed that morning — signed by all 4 crew members — documented that every hazard was identified and controlled. It was the most important document in our defense.
Crews take safety more seriously when they have to read and sign a JHA before starting. The act of reviewing it changes their mindset.
