Field Level Hazard Assessment: filling it in

Starting from your last one

If you filed an FLHA on an earlier day, today's starts from it: the site, task, crew, hazards and controls are filled in. Walk the site, change anything that's different, then tap I've checked these for today. Dates, signatures, photos, yes/no answers and the Safe Start Checks are never copied. Tap Start blank instead to begin empty.

Hazards and controls

• Tick every hazard on the job, or tap No additional hazards today.
• Each hazard needs a control, in your own words.
• Then tap where that control sits on the hierarchy of controls: Eliminate, Substitute, Engineering, Admin or PPE. Open the hierarchy panel above the table for what each one means.
• If you pick PPE, you're asked whether anything higher up would work. Pick a higher control, or confirm PPE is right here.

Critical-risk work

Answer Any critical-risk work today? If yes, pick the risk and answer every Safe Start Check. A No needs a note, goes to the supervisor named on the FLHA, and the supervisor must acknowledge it before signing and closing. Companies that don't run the CCSC critical risks switch critical risks off on the Critical Assessment Package page, and the question isn't on the form at all. With it on, admins pick there the risks their crews work under; with none picked, the section isn't on the form either. See "FLHA: choosing your critical risks".

For admins

The FLHA page shows controls by hierarchy level over the last 90 days, and lists the FLHAs where every control was PPE — a crew to talk to before something happens.
