Job Hazard Analysis — Elevated Concrete Deck Placement Project: [Project Name] JHA Number: JHA-2024-031 Date: [Date] Task: Concrete placement for 5th floor deck slab Location: Level 5, Building A Crew: Concrete placement crew — [Number] workers Prepared by: Safety Manager Reviewed by: Superintendent HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL: HAZARD 1 — Falls from unprotected floor edges and openings Description: The 5th floor deck has open perimeter edges and multiple floor openings for future mechanical penetrations. Workers performing concrete placement and finishing are exposed to fall hazards. Controls required: • Perimeter guardrail system (top rail, mid-rail, and toe board) installed and inspected before concrete work begins • All floor openings covered with load-rated covers secured against accidental displacement — covers marked "HOLE — DO NOT REMOVE" • Safety harness required within 6 feet of any opening where a guardrail system is not in place • Guardrail system inspection documented before each shift start HAZARD 2 — Concrete truck and pump equipment struck-by hazards Description: Concrete mixer trucks and pump equipment moving in and around the structure present struck-by hazards for workers on foot. Controls required: • Spotters assigned to guide all concrete truck movements — spotter maintains visible contact with truck driver at all times • Designated pedestrian pathways marked and communicated at pre-pour toolbox talk • High-visibility vests required for all workers in areas with active equipment movement • Truck backing performed only with spotter present; horn signal protocol established HAZARD 3 — Overexertion and heat illness during extended pour Description: Concrete placement may extend 6-8 hours. Workers performing physical screed and finishing work in warm weather are at risk for heat-related illness. Controls required: • Water station with cool water and electrolyte replacement available at pour level • Shade structure or rest area designated within 100 feet of work area • Mandatory 10-minute rest period every hour during temperatures above 90°F • Supervisor monitors crew for signs of heat illness — early intervention protocol briefed at toolbox talk • Emergency communication plan reviewed: nearest hospital location, first aid kit location HAZARD 4 — Skin contact with wet concrete Description: Prolonged skin contact with wet concrete causes chemical burns through alkali content. Controls required: • Waterproof gloves and rubber boots required for all workers in direct contact with wet concrete • Long-sleeved shirts and full-length pants — no exposed skin contact • Eye protection (safety glasses) during all concrete placement and finishing activities • Wash station with clean water immediately accessible PRE-POUR BRIEFING: JHA reviewed with entire crew before work begins. All crew members sign attendance log confirming JHA review.
