Job Hazard Analysis for Roofing

The Job Hazard Analysis process provides roofing contractors a disciplined way to identify and control risks before work at height. Crews review weather, roof pitch, anchor points, ladder setups, and material staging, then document hazards and mitigation steps. The checklist confirms fall protection, access paths, debris control, and electrical clearances around services or solar. Supervisors assign PPE, define rescue plans, and verify equipment inspections. Findings are communicated in the daily huddle to align roles. Standardization reduces incidents, protects profitability, and improves compliance. Clients gain confidence in safe, professional roofing operations that meet code and warranty requirements.
