Job Hazard Analysis for Masonry

The Job Hazard Analysis process supports masonry contractors by identifying risks before block, brick, or stone work begins. Crews review scaffold setup, fall protection, material hoisting, silica exposure, and weather impacts. The checklist documents hazards, controls, PPE, and perimeter controls. Supervisors verify tie offs, toeboards, swing gates, and dust suppression equipment. Results are discussed during the morning briefing and posted at the scaffold access point. Standardizing the review reduces incidents, protects profitability, and improves schedule performance. Clients gain confidence in safe, professional craftsmanship supported by clear documentation.
