Today's Message - Do a J.H.A.!

Good morning to all I.D.I. employees:  Don't forget to perform a job hazard analysis today for the tasks you are performing.  Think about the tasks you are going to be performing and all the potential ways that you could get hurt doing them.  Then develop your plan to prevent yourself and others from getting injured while doing the task.  Do you have the correct PPE?  Are there electrical hazards?  Check your electrical tools and cords to ensure they are in good safe condition.  If the conditions are wet, do you have GFCI?  If scaffolding is required, do you have safety rails?  Don't forget to lock your scaffold wheels.  Is your work area clean and free of slip, trip and fall hazards?  If not, clean the area before you commence working in it.  If the area is not clean and it is others debris or materials in your way, you should notify your Foreman so he/she can communicate with the general contractor or other subcontractors on a cleanup plan before you go into the cluttered area. 

Performing a pre-task job hazard analysis is simple, only takes a few minutes and starts you off on the right foot in the battle against injuries and health hazards. 

Have a Safe Day!
