What Riskora extracts from the file you upload
The uploaded document usually has the raw material — company, project, scope, some hazards. Riskora keeps what's yours and rebuilds the rest into a structured JHA.
Company + crew details
Company name, address, competent person and crew — kept verbatim from the uploaded file.
Project + site context
Project, address, GC, phase and access window pulled from the document.
Sequence of basic job steps
The actual task — broken into numbered steps the way OSHA 3071 asks.
Potential hazards per step
Fall, struck-by, caught-in-between, electrical, silica, heat, confined space — mapped to each step.
Recommended controls
Hierarchy of controls: elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, PPE — matched to each hazard.
Required PPE
Hard hat, hi-vis Class II/III, safety glasses, gloves, harness, respirator — specific to the extracted task.
Tools + equipment
Ladders, MEWPs, powered tools — extracted and flagged for pre-use inspection.
Emergency + sign-off
Nearest hospital, MOB assembly, competent person and crew sign-off block ready for signatures.
Gap prompts
Riskora flags anything the uploaded file was missing — SDS, permit-required confined space, LOTO — before issue.
From uploaded PDF to an OSHA-ready JHA
A generic JHA template becomes a job-specific document with steps, hazards, controls and required PPE — ready for the daily briefing and the GC's file.
Not a paragraph rewrite. Not a filename change.
Generic AI tools paraphrase your file into long prose. Riskora reads the uploaded document, extracts the underlying task and site context, and rebuilds the sections OSHA 29 CFR 1926 and the OSHA 3071 JHA format expect — steps, hazards, controls, PPE, sign-off — with your company details kept intact.
What your JHA actually contains
Riskora builds a structured, client-facing document — not a generic AI paragraph. Every section is shaped around your job, your site and your team.
Hazards
Task-specific hazards for the job, captured row by row — not a generic list pulled from an old JHA.
Controls
Control measures mapped to each hazard with residual risk scoring after controls are applied.
PPE
PPE requirements tied to the activity and site, ready to brief to the team.
Method steps
Step-by-step method statement structured around how the work is actually sequenced on site.
Emergency arrangements
First aid, rescue plan, emergency contacts and site-specific escalation routes.
COSHH prompts
Substance prompts when the work involves chemicals, dusts, fumes or sealants — flagged early, not missed at review.
Sign-off
Operative sign-off captured against the document — names, dates and acknowledgement of the brief.
Version history
Every change tracked so you can show what was issued, when, and which version the team signed.
Approval status
Clear approval state on every document — draft, in review, approved, issued — visible across the team.
Audit trail
Who created it, who reviewed it, who signed it. A complete trail you can hand to a principal contractor or auditor.
From copied-and-pasted to site-specific
The reason JHA get rejected is rarely the format — it's that the document is obviously generic. Riskora rebuilds it around this job, this site and this task.
