Creating a safe workspace is of the utmost importance, no matter the industry. And in construction — one of the most dangerous professions in the world — it’s even more important. When it comes to best safety practices at work, it is essential for companies to prioritize preventing safety lapses and other preventable incidents. Some effective ways to take control of the jobsite are performing a job safety analysis (JSA), a pre-task plan (PTP), a daily safety plan, and a safety task assessment (STA). Construction safety applications like eMOD streamline the documentation process, getting the field workers back to work sooner.
A job safety analysis in construction, otherwise known as a job hazard analysis (JHA), is a technique required by contractors to address and identify any potential hazards on the project site. In doing so, leadership can put into place the strategies necessary to eliminate or otherwise manage the risks that exist.
While a job safety analysis may look different from one business to the next, they generally all consist of the same core steps.
When it comes time to ensure worker safety, performing a job safety analysis can be broken down into a few steps. As an example, the eMOD construction safety application helps users do the following:
JSAs aim to correct any hazards that have been identified. While JSAs are commonly performed for jobs that have a high potential to cause injury or illness, many construction companies require JSAs to be created for all tasks.
When we identify potential hazards during the planning process, teams are prepared to safely mitigate the risks of those hazards. Job safety analysis is an essential function for any company looking to protect its workers when dangers lurk on the job.
Here are a few of the most important benefits that regular job hazard analysis can provide.
We’ve only touched on the most tangible benefits that embracing worker safety can provide. Job safety analysis using the eMOD application can bring about real change on the job site.
