The job hazard analysis
PPE required: Hard hat, Safety glasses, Gloves, Safety boots
1. Plan the circuits
What could go wrong
Overloaded circuits; cords across walkways
How we control it
Work from a plan. Use GFCI-protected supply and check the load on each circuit.
2. Hang the fixtures
What could go wrong
Falls from ladders; dropped fixtures
How we control it
Use a stable platform instead of leaning from a ladder. Secure each fixture to a fixed point, not to a cord.
3. Connect and test
What could go wrong
Shock from damaged cords; wet connections
How we control it
Inspect every cord and connector. Keep connections off the ground and out of water. Test the GFCI before use.
4. Check the result
What could go wrong
Dark corners; glare that hides hazards
How we control it
Walk the area and add lights where it's still dark, especially on stairs and at changes of level.
- Only a qualified person should connect to a building supply or a distribution board.
When to use it
Use it when you set up lighting for a new area, or before a shift that starts or ends in the dark.
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.

- 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.
