Step 1 of 4 · Working draft
Your job
Tell Jenkins what you’re planning and where the work will happen. Use the actual job details.
Use the published example’s suggestions when they fit your task, or write your own steps. These are planned controls, not verified worksite conditions.
Describe an observable step, how someone could be harmed, and the control that acts on that hazard. Identify who checks it and what evidence is needed.
Walk through the plan with the people doing the work. Resolve missing controls and agree who checks them. Moving to the next step does not approve the work.
Confirm people, equipment and emergency arrangements
Record changes, checks, and open actions
Walk the work area, review with the crew, and resolve missing controls. Follow the required approval process. This tool does not judge completeness, verify signatures or authorize work.

Your Concrete Epoxy Crack Injection JHA
Walk through the job in order. Use these possible hazards, planned controls and checks to start a conversation about your actual work.
011. Confirm the crack and repair release
Possible hazards: A crack can signal unresolved movement or conceal an unsuitable repair location.
Planned controls: Foreperson checks the repair specification and engineering determination, marks the approved limits and holds work when the crack or surrounding condition differs.
Check before work: Repair lead compares the actual crack with the released repair record.
022. Prepare the area and ports
Possible hazards: Surface preparation can release dust or expose workers to uncured adhesive and sharp fittings.
Planned controls: Separate occupancy, protect the work area and use the specified surface and port preparation method. Apply the employer’s dust controls where material is disturbed.
Check before work: Lead checks ventilation, preparation controls and the planned port positions before sealing.
033. Set up and meter the components
Possible hazards: Resin or hardener can contact skin and eyes; incorrect mixing can create excessive heat or waste.
Planned controls: Review both component SDSs and use the specified metering equipment, compatible protection and product limits. Keep containers identified and prepare only quantities permitted by the instructions.
Check before work: Operator confirms product identities, ratio settings and equipment condition before connecting.
044. Inject within the permitted sequence
Possible hazards: Pressure can eject material or fittings; leaks can expose the operator to uncured epoxy.
Planned controls: Operate within the repair and equipment limits from a position clear of potential spray. Maintain the sequence and stop for leaks, unexpected resistance or uncontrolled flow.
Check before work: Operator monitors the specified indicators and port behavior; lead checks the boundary remains intact.
055. Relieve pressure and deal with a blockage
Possible hazards: Opening a loaded hose or port can release pressurized resin into the face or skin.
Planned controls: Stop pumping and follow the unit’s pressure-release and energy-control procedure before disconnecting. Use the specified blockage method after the safe state is verified.
Check before work: Authorized operator confirms pressure release under the equipment procedure before touching a fitting.
066. Secure cure and remove residue
Possible hazards: Uncured residue, contaminated tools or removed fittings can expose the next crew.
Planned controls: Maintain product-specific cure and access restrictions. Collect chemical waste in compatible identified containers and remove ports only by the specified method after release.
Check before work: Lead checks residue, waste and repair-access status before handover.
Example scope and starting conditions
A repair crew will inject an engineer-designated nonstructural crack in a cured ground-level interior concrete wall with a metered two-component epoxy system. The room is isolated from normal occupancy. This fictional learning example records planned controls; it supplies no actual inspections or work authorization.
- The repair specification determines whether injection is appropriate and provides the permitted pressure and sequence.
- Ventilation and chemical protection must be selected for the actual resin and hardener.
- This excludes structural crack diagnosis, overhead work, polyurethane water-stop injection and pressurized connected systems.
Know when to pause
- Crack condition differs from the repair release.
- A component, ratio, pressure limit or ventilation arrangement changes.
- Leaks, blocked ports or unexpected material flow occur.
After a pause, correct the condition, reassess the work, and obtain required authorization before restarting.
Free example and template
No account required. The worked example contains planned controls. The blank template is for your own work; neither includes fabricated inspection results, signatures or approval.

For managers
Does the team have what it needs to carry out the plan? Give the crew time, equipment and support, and make it clear who will resolve anything that is missing.
Manager checks and supporting resources
Confirm the people doing the work have the time, equipment, information and support to carry out the plan. Agree who checks the controls and who resolves open actions.
Questions to resolve before work
- Who confirms crack suitability and the permitted injection method?
- Which resin and hardener hazards require separate controls?
- How will pressure be relieved and a blocked port managed?
Training and qualifications to confirm
- Component hazards, metering, pressure release and product-specific first aid.
- Recognizing a deviation from the released repair method.
Confirm the actual training evidence for the assigned people. A toolbox talk does not establish competence.
Decisions that change the plan
Can more pressure solve a port that will not accept resin?
Pause and use the repair specification and equipment blockage procedure. Additional pressure may rupture fittings or force material into an unintended path. The published example supplies no universal pressure limit.
What must be recorded before this example is used on a job?
Replace the scenario with the actual work, identify additional hazards with the crew, and record the applicable instructions, responsible people, inspection findings, unresolved actions and required authorization. A planned verification is not an inspection result.

Task-by-task control and verification rationale
1. Confirm the crack and repair release
Hazard: A crack can signal unresolved movement or conceal an unsuitable repair location.
Control: Foreperson checks the repair specification and engineering determination, marks the approved limits and holds work when the crack or surrounding condition differs.
Verification: Repair lead compares the actual crack with the released repair record.
Why this belongs in the analysis: The JHA cannot diagnose a structural defect.
2. Prepare the area and ports
Hazard: Surface preparation can release dust or expose workers to uncured adhesive and sharp fittings.
Control: Separate occupancy, protect the work area and use the specified surface and port preparation method. Apply the employer’s dust controls where material is disturbed.
Verification: Lead checks ventilation, preparation controls and the planned port positions before sealing.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Preparation hazards depend on the method actually chosen.
3. Set up and meter the components
Hazard: Resin or hardener can contact skin and eyes; incorrect mixing can create excessive heat or waste.
Control: Review both component SDSs and use the specified metering equipment, compatible protection and product limits. Keep containers identified and prepare only quantities permitted by the instructions.
Verification: Operator confirms product identities, ratio settings and equipment condition before connecting.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Each component needs its own hazard review.
4. Inject within the permitted sequence
Hazard: Pressure can eject material or fittings; leaks can expose the operator to uncured epoxy.
Control: Operate within the repair and equipment limits from a position clear of potential spray. Maintain the sequence and stop for leaks, unexpected resistance or uncontrolled flow.
Verification: Operator monitors the specified indicators and port behavior; lead checks the boundary remains intact.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Do not overcome a blocked port by improvising a higher pressure.
5. Relieve pressure and deal with a blockage
Hazard: Opening a loaded hose or port can release pressurized resin into the face or skin.
Control: Stop pumping and follow the unit’s pressure-release and energy-control procedure before disconnecting. Use the specified blockage method after the safe state is verified.
Verification: Authorized operator confirms pressure release under the equipment procedure before touching a fitting.
Why this belongs in the analysis: A stopped pump can leave pressure trapped in the line.
6. Secure cure and remove residue
Hazard: Uncured residue, contaminated tools or removed fittings can expose the next crew.
Control: Maintain product-specific cure and access restrictions. Collect chemical waste in compatible identified containers and remove ports only by the specified method after release.
Verification: Lead checks residue, waste and repair-access status before handover.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Cure time and cleanup requirements are product-specific.
