The job hazard analysis
PPE required: Hard hat, Safety glasses, Gloves, Safety boots, Respirator or mask, Hearing protection
1. Survey first
What could go wrong
Hazardous materials and live services
How we control it
Review the survey for asbestos and lead before work. Isolate and mark services. Stop if you find anything unexpected.
2. Plan the sequence
What could go wrong
Collapse of structure or loads
How we control it
Confirm which walls and floors carry load. Support as the engineer advises.
3. Strip out
What could go wrong
Dust, noise, and sharp debris
How we control it
Wet down dust or use extraction. Wear a respirator, hearing, and eye protection.
4. Remove debris
What could go wrong
Strains; falling debris; blocked exits
How we control it
Use chutes and carts. Keep exits clear.
- If you find a suspect material, stop work and report it. Don't disturb it.
When to use it
Use it before strip-out work, and review it when you find materials you didn't expect.
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.
