Frequently asked questions

What should I do if a hazard is identified during a construction project?

If a hazard is identified, immediately halt the work in the affected area to prevent accidents. Assess the risk and determine the appropriate control measures. Communicate with your team about the hazard and the steps being taken. Document the hazard and the actions taken to address it in your JSA form for future reference.

What are some examples of hazards that might be overlooked in a JSA?

In construction, overlooked hazards can include ergonomic issues from lifting heavy materials, noise affecting communication, and weather conditions like high winds. Dust inhalation and slips on uneven surfaces are also often missed. Regularly update your JSA to include these risks and discuss them with your crew to enhance awareness.

What are the benefits of digital JSA forms over paper forms?

Digital JSA forms streamline communication by allowing instant updates accessible from any device, which is essential for dynamic construction sites. They reduce paperwork loss and enable quick adjustments to safety plans. Integration with other systems provides comprehensive safety data, helping to refine practices and enhance overall site safety.

How do I prioritize hazards identified in a JSA?

Prioritize hazards based on their severity and likelihood of occurrence. Focus on high-risk situations like potential falls from heights or equipment malfunctions. You can use a risk matrix to categorize and address critical hazards first, then adjust priorities as site conditions evolve to maintain safety.
