Job Hazard Analysis Template

Prices in Canadian dollars. Any tax that applies is shown at checkout.

A job hazard analysis in Excel, Word and PDF: break a task into steps, rate each hazard before and after controls, see the risk matrix, and have the crew sign off before work starts.

List the steps of one task in the order they happen. For each step, write the hazard and who could be harmed, rate likelihood and severity from 1 to 5, write the controls and who is responsible, then rate the risk again with the controls in place.

The workbook sorts every step into Low, Moderate, High or Very high, lists the high hazards with their controls, shows both risk matrices, and flags a step with no controls or one that is still high after them. Print the crew sign-off sheet, or use the three-page Word or PDF form on sites without a laptop. It is an editable framework for your own safety program: ask your own safety adviser and follow your local safety regulator's rules.

What's inside

Job hazard analysis, Excel (.xlsx), six sheets, in two versions. Up to 40 steps: task step, hazard, who could be harmed, likelihood and severity before controls, the controls, the main control type, likelihood and severity after controls, and who is responsible. Scores and risk bands fill in, and a check column flags a step with no hazard, no controls or no second rating, a risk that rises after controls, and a step still high after controls.

Risk Summary and Risk Matrix. Steps in each band before and after controls, up to 20 high hazards listed with their controls, and both 5 × 5 matrices with the number of steps in each cell. Rename the rating labels and move the band scores on the Settings sheet to match your own program.

Crew Sign-off. The task, protective equipment and emergency contact, with 30 lines for name, company or trade, date and signature.

Job hazard analysis form, 3 pages, letter size (Word and PDF). The task and rating key, a steps table with nine rows, and a crew briefing with twelve sign-off lines, under your company name and logo.

FAQ

Does it make my work compliant?

No template can. It is an editable framework that supports your safety program, not legal or safety advice. Ask your own safety adviser and follow your local safety regulator's rules for your work, your equipment and your site.

Can I change the ratings?

Yes. Rename the five likelihood and five severity labels, and set the scores where Moderate, High and Very high start, on the Settings sheet.

One workbook per task?

Yes. Save a new copy for each task. Each copy holds up to 40 steps and 30 crew signatures.

Can I use it without a computer on site?

Print the three-page form, fill it in by hand and have the crew sign it. The form follows the workbook's order, so it types straight in later.

A note on safety

This job hazard analysis is an editable starting point for your own safety program. The ratings, risk bands and controls are yours to set, and the worked example is a sample only. It does not make any work safe or compliant. Occupational health and safety rules differ from one jurisdiction to another, so follow the rules where you work and ask your own safety adviser before work starts. Not legal or safety advice.
