Field Level Hazard Assessment
The FLHA is filled in before work starts: job details, today's hazards and your own controls placed on the hierarchy of controls, plus critical-risk checks where the work calls for them. The crew signs on one phone, and the end-of-shift questions unlock once the shift is actually done.

On the worker side
10 featuresFieldView and your profile menuHazards and controls
Tick every hazard on the job, or No additional hazards today. Each hazard needs a control in your own words, placed on Eliminate, Substitute, Engineering, Admin or PPE. Picking PPE asks whether anything higher would work.
Where: FLHA → Hazards
Who can: Everyone
Critical-risk work
Answer Any critical-risk work today? Pick the risk and answer every Safe Start Check. A No needs a note and goes to the supervisor on the FLHA, who must acknowledge it.

Today's conditions
When it's windy, hot, cold, a night start, or the worker is new, a box at the top adds one tick per prompt. On a normal day nothing changes. What was shown is kept word for word.
Where: Top of the FLHA
Who can: Everyone
Crew sign-off
After filing you land on the signing page. The crew starts from your direct reports or yesterday's crew; add a worker or a visitor. Hand the phone round: each person opens it full screen, answers their own checks and signs. The Supervisor (PIC) signs last, which closes it.
Where: FLHA → signing page
Who can: Crew, Lead Hand, Supervisor (PIC)
Missed the phone?
Anyone who missed it gets it in their own To do and signs on their own phone; after closing, that signature is marked late. Changing an open FLHA asks everyone to sign again and shows what changed.
Where: To do
Who can: Crew
End of shift
Four questions (injury, near miss, stop work, concern) shown locked until the shift is under way; the unlock time is set per company (default 4 hours). An early answer needs a reason, which is stored.
Where: FLHA → End of shift
Who can: Whoever filed it
Send the FLHA
Once the end of shift is done, the supervisor can email the FLHA to up to ten addresses at a time, with a note.
Where: FLHA → last step → Send the FLHA
Who can: Supervisor on the FLHA
Changes during the shift
On the filed FLHA, Add a change logs what changed — a new hazard and its control, scope, weather, crew, a stop-work — as a dated line under the signed FLHA. A new hazard goes to the supervisor to review and to the crew to tap Seen it. Checked — nothing changed is one tap.
Where: Filed FLHA → Add a change
Who can: Crew, filer, supervisor
With no signal
New FLHA works offline with the same four steps, including the crew reading the PDF and signing.
