Job Hazard Analysis
Project: La Jolla Elementary School
Prepared By: Dan Spacone
Title:
Date Prepared: 9-21-2021
Activity / Task: Metal Framing
Special Notes / Considerations:
Job Steps:
Pre-Work Jobsite
inspection
Hazards:
Trenches-large holes
Electrical power lines
Cranes-overhead work
Heavy equipment
Control Measures:
Schedule work away from these areas-cover
Holes and mark trenches as needed
Make sure to stay away at least 10 feet-do not
store materials or equipment too close to lines
Avoid controlled access zones-do not walk
underneath the work being done.
Avoid working in the direct area of heavy
equipment operations
Wear the proper PPE
Eye, ear, head, feet, skin
Make sure the proper safety glasses, ANSI Z
87.1 are worn, hardhats, safety vests, ear
plugs as needed, ANSI 3.19, leather boots, cut
level 4 gloves, and proper clothing for the job.
Lifting materials and
equipment into place
Muscle/joint strain, pinched
hands, or feet
Get extra help when moving heavy loads, use
mechanical means such as a forklift when
needed, make sure the areas to receive
materials are clear and free from pinch points,
access and egress areas are always clear, stage
materials and equipment close to the area
where work will be done. Ensure that all
materials stocked vertically are secured.
Electrical cords,
connection
Shock, electrocution, fire
All power tools, cords, extension cords, and
10k cords are to be inspected every day. No
cuts to sheathing, no bare wires, no broken
prongs on the plugs. All cords must have
proper cord ends. 12 or 14 ga heavy use wire
to be used. All equipment must be plugged
into GFI circuits. Tag and remove defective
cords/power tools from the jobsite. Reroute
cords to prevent them from being run over by
scissor lifts or other pieces of equipment.
Hand and power
tools
Lacerations, punctures
Ensure that every tool, company and personal,
is inspected every day before use. All handles,
heads, and cords must be in good condition.
Tag and remove any defective tools from
jobsite until replaced or repaired. Be aware of
placement of both hands when using tools to
avoid lacerations or punctures from the tool.
Working at heightsscaffolds
Fall hazard
Users must be trained. All scaffolds to be
inspected and tagged and documented daily.
All workers 6 feet and higher shall have fall
protection. Full body harness, lanyards or
retractable lanyards, or guard rail system to be
used. All wheels on mobile scaffolds to be
locked at the point of work-no surfing on
mobile scaffolds. No debris on or under
scaffold during use. All scaffolding to be built
by competent person.
Working at heightsscissor lifts
Fall hazard
Users must be trained. All scissor lifts to be
inspected daily before use. Review the safety
manual the first time using the lift. Make sure
rear safety chain is connected while in scissor
lift.
Inform other workers before moving lift.
Check above, below, and all-around lift before
moving.
Danger to other workers
Overhead objects-crush
hazard
Working at heightsstep ladders
Fall hazard.
Cleanup
Falls, trip hazards, laceration
Cutting steel studs
and track
Use of chop saw
Eye injuries
Make sure step ladders are used in the fully
open, locked position. Do not lean step
ladders against the wall. Do not stand on the
top two steps of the ladder. Ensure that
ladder is used on level, stable ground, or floor.
Inspect ladder before use.
Clean up to be done as work progresses-place
cutoffs and debris in receptacles, empty
receptacles often to avoid trash buildup.
Make sure access, egress, and all walkways are
always free and clear. Materials should be
stacked neatly and out of the way. Sweeping
compound shall be used when sweeping floors
Inspect metal cutting blade prior to use for
nicks and gouges-replace if worn.
Wear safety glasses (ANSI Z 87.1) and full-face
shield when operating chop saw.
Hearing damage
Sparks
Use of snips to cut metal
Installing track and
studs
Powder Actuated Tool use
Lacerations/punctures
Eye injuries
Laser use
PPE required:
Hard hats,
Safety vests, boots
Safety glasses, full
Face shields, ear
plugs
Equipment / tools required:
Hand tools, power tools,
mobile scaffolds, Scissor lifts
electrical cords, trash carts.
PAT’s, low level lasers
Inspection requirements / Frequency:
To be inspected daily by superintendent and
foreman-periodically by company safety director
Wear ear plugs (ANSI 3.19) when operating
chop saw or when working in proximity of
chop saw, and when grinding.
Prior to cutting steel check the immediate area
for flammable materials-always have an ABC
fire extinguisher within 20’ of cutting area.
Use a back stop behind chop saw to arrest any
sparks.
Make sure snips are in good condition-be
careful of hand placement to avoid cutting or
lacerating skin.
Wear safety glasses and full-face shield when
operating PAT. Must have PAT Training. Post
‘PAT in use’ warning signs in the immediate
area. Pick up all spent cartridges and strip
loads from the ground and floor. Wear
hearing protection when using PAT.

materials-be aware of hand placement when
putting screws into studs.
Wear safety glasses always on site.
