Job Hazard Analysis for Landscaping

The Job Hazard Analysis procedure supports landscaping contractors by evaluating risks before earthwork, planting, or hardscape tasks. Crews review equipment movement, chainsaw handling, heat stress, traffic control, and irrigation utilities. The checklist documents hazards, controls, PPE, and environmental protections. Supervisors confirm flagging plans, hydration stations, and tool inspections. Results are communicated in the daily tailgate to align responsibilities. Crews also review wildlife or public interface risks when sites are occupied. Standardization reduces incidents, improves efficiency, and protects profitability while reassuring clients.
