Logging Worker Supervisor Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Worksheet

Working in logging in just about any capacity presents workers with certain dangers and potential hazards. Supervisors of logging workers are no exception. These individuals often are tasked with overseeing new worker training, and handling the duties of multiple roles when the need arises. This presents the opportunity for potential hazards to impact the safety and health of these workers. Through this job safety analysis and hazard analysis, a comprehensive risk assessment for supervisors of logging workers can be performed. Using this app, a logging worker supervisor can detail each task involved in their job, their work procedures, and potential hazards during each job step can be noted, and mitigation strategies as well as hazard controls can be put in place. This app notes the personal protective equipment (PPE) that should be used by logging worker supervisors when working with logging equipment or on a logging site. Incorporating this app into a logging company's safe work program is a great way to help to reduce claims for workers' compensation, minimize downtime due to missed work, and assure each worker that their health and safety is a priority.
