The job hazard analysis
PPE required: Hard hat, Safety glasses, Gloves, Safety boots, High-visibility vest
1. Identify who could be affected
What could go wrong
Overlooking children, older people, or people with limited mobility
How we control it
List neighbors, routes, and entrances. Plan for people who need extra time or space.
2. Separate the site
What could go wrong
People entering the site
How we control it
Use fences, hoardings, covered walkways, and signs. Lock gates when the site is closed.
3. Control hazards at the edge
What could go wrong
Falling objects; dust; noise; deliveries
How we control it
Use catch fans and netting. Control dust and noise. Plan deliveries around busy times.
4. Review
What could go wrong
Changes that open gaps
How we control it
Check the protection daily and after any change to the work.
- Children are drawn to sites. Lock up and remove ladders at the end of the day.
When to use it
Use it for sites next to footpaths, roads, or occupied buildings.
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.
