Get a job hazard analysis done in 10 minutes, not over a weekend.
For sole operators and site supervisors tired of being asked for a JHA the morning the job starts. Trade-specific hazards, controls and PPE pre-filled.
If you take an action based on what you read here, that action is yours. We are a guide, not an advisor, and we give this away for free.
General guidance, not professional safety advice. If something's unsafe right now, stop work. Report serious risks to OSHA (www.osha.gov), anonymously if needed.
What the law actually says
- •OSHA doesn't require a specific job hazard analysis form, but it does require you to find and control recognized hazards under the General Duty Clause (OSH Act §5(a)(1)) and to train workers on the hazards of their job (29 CFR 1926.21).
- •A written JHA is how most contractors show they identified the hazards and put controls in place before the work started.
