You're probably here because…
  • Project spec requires a JHA before crews can mobilize
  • Spreadsheet template is too loose for the actual task
  • Supervisor needs a job-step table, not a paragraph
  • Last JHA missed PPE per step and consequences
What to add to the box
  • Supervisor's email or text describing the task
  • Scope of work for the package
  • JSA / JHA from a previous similar job
  • OSHA 1926 / 1910 sub-part the task falls under
  • Pre-task plan notes from the foreman

FAQ

Questions for this exact situation

A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a structured way of breaking a task down into individual steps, identifying the hazards in each step and defining the preventive controls and PPE required.

JHA (Job Hazard Analysis) and JSA (Job Safety Analysis) are largely interchangeable terms. Some employers prefer one or the other. Both follow the same job-step / hazard / control structure.

Job and task information, required tools and PPE, the job step table, hazards per step, possible consequences, preventive controls, emergency procedures and supervisor / employee sign-off.

OSHA Publication 3071 recommends job hazard analysis as a way to identify and control task hazards. Specific standards have their own requirements; for example, 1910.132(d) requires a workplace PPE hazard assessment and written certification. Check the standards, State Plan rules and project requirements that apply to your work.

PPE should be listed where required, but it should not be the only control. Strong JHAs apply the hierarchy of controls before relying on PPE.

Riskora supports employee acknowledgment in the JHA workflow. Team adds site briefings and QR sign-on to record crew participation; competent-person sign-off starts on Starter.

No. JHAs should be reviewed by a competent supervisor or safety professional. Riskora structures the content; the people accountable for the work review it.

Start with the task, location, work sequence, equipment and people involved. Add nearby activities, access restrictions and emergency arrangements so you can tailor the JHA to the job.

Yes. Create one standalone safety document for the lifetime of your account and download the PDF, with no card required. Add competent-person sign-off from Starter, custom branding from Pro, and projects and crew briefings from Team.

Review it periodically and when the job, equipment or conditions change. Revisit it after an injury or illness, and brief affected workers on revised procedures and controls.
