The job hazard analysis
PPE required: Hard hat, Safety glasses, Gloves, Safety boots, High-visibility vest
1. Check the truck
What could go wrong
Brake, light, or tipper failures
How we control it
Complete a pre-trip check. Report defects before you start.
2. Load
What could go wrong
Overloading; spillage; people near the load
How we control it
Load evenly and within the rating. Keep ground crew out of the truck's blind spots and the loader's swing.
3. Haul
What could go wrong
Rollovers; other traffic; poor road surface
How we control it
Follow the haul route and speed limits. Keep the haul road graded and watered if dusty. Use a seat belt.
4. Tip
What could go wrong
Tipping over; overhead lines; people nearby
How we control it
Tip on level, firm ground. Check overhead before you raise the body. Keep everyone clear.
- Lower the body completely before you drive away.
When to use it
Use it for any haul route on or off site, and review it when the route or the weather changes.
Review it with the crew before the work starts, change anything that doesn't match how you'll do the job, and update it when the method, the equipment, or the site changes.
Use this JHA in Reldro
- It arrives ready to edit, and your crew uses it on their phone, even without signal.
- Failed items become corrective actions with an owner and a due date.
- Every completed one is kept with the site, the date and who did it.
