Job Hazard Analysis for Home Builder

The Job Hazard Analysis workflow helps home builders and remodelers identify and control risks before any task begins. It outlines a structured review of site conditions, tools, materials, and crew capabilities, then documents hazards and specific controls. The checklist covers fall protection, electrical exposure, equipment movement, and housekeeping. Supervisors assign responsibilities, set PPE requirements, and record permits or lockout procedures. Findings are shared during the morning huddle so crews understand expectations. By standardizing this review, builders reduce incidents, pass inspections, and prevent costly downtime. Clients gain confidence in a safe, professional jobsite, while teams gain accountability through sign offs and photo documentation.
