Job Hazard Analysis for Drywall

The Job Hazard Analysis workflow supports drywall contractors by addressing risks before panel handling and finishing begin. Teams assess lifting techniques, scaffold or ladder placement, dust and silica exposure, and fire rating requirements. The checklist documents hazards, engineering controls, PPE, and housekeeping commitments. Supervisors verify tool guards, cord management, and ventilation. Results are shared during the pre task briefing so crews know responsibilities and controls. Crews confirm access routes and housekeeping zones so workflows stay efficient. Standardizing this review reduces incidents, improves quality, and protects profitability while demonstrating a proactive safety culture to clients and inspectors.
