Free Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Template
Use this free job hazard analysis template (also called a JSA) before any non-routine task. Break the job into steps, name the hazard in each step, and assign a control using the hierarchy of controls. Print it for the truck binder, or run the same check from your phone in seconds.
Header — fill this in first
- Job / task: ____________________
- Date: __________ Location / area: __________
- Performed by (crew): ____________________
- Competent person on site: ____________________
- Permits required (hot work, confined space, excavation): ____________________
For each job step, record three things
Add a row per step — usually 4 to 10 steps for a task.
- STEP: what gets done, in order
- HAZARD: what could go wrong in that step (be specific — 'fall from ladder on uneven ground', not just 'falls')
- CONTROL: how you eliminate or reduce it (strongest option first)
Hierarchy of controls — pick the strongest that works
PPE is the LAST resort, not the first answer.
- 1. Eliminate — do the work a different way
- 2. Substitute — a safer method or material
- 3. Engineering — guardrails, trench boxes, machine guards
- 4. Administrative — procedures, training, signage, rotation
- 5. PPE — hard hat, harness, eye/hand protection
Sign-off
- Reviewed with the crew before work started: ☐ Yes
- Crew initials: ____________________
- Re-assess if conditions change (weather, new crew, new equipment): ☐ Understood
