You know the work. Let’s turn that experience into a plan your crew can talk through. Start with today’s job, then check the steps together.
Let’s build your JHA.
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.
Print your own JHA by signing in, or contribute the selected structured categories as a guest. Signing in does not require research participation. Written job details are processed to prepare your export and are stored on our server only if you save to your private company library.

Your Fixed Interior Glass Partition Installation JHA
Walk through the job in order. Use these possible hazards, planned controls and checks to start a conversation about your actual work.
011. Release channels and installation area
Possible hazards: Unready channels or accessible work paths can expose occupants to falling glass.
Planned controls: Glazing lead checks channel support, specified panel schedule and released layout against the actual system. Close access on both sides and establish the setting sequence; hold for support or glass-type uncertainty.
Check before work: Lead verifies support documentation and the complete access boundary before delivery.
022. Inspect and prepare the panel
Possible hazards: Damaged edges or an incompatible attachment can cause breakage during pickup.
Planned controls: Verify factory identification, weight and edge condition while the panel remains on protected stable supports. Check handling-device suitability and condition; remove damaged or unidentified panels from the installation sequence and apply assessed cut protection.
Check before work: Handling lead checks panel condition and the device instructions before attachment.
033. Move through the controlled route
Possible hazards: A large panel can strike workers or trap hands at a narrow interior passage.
Planned controls: Use the planned device or team method with one movement lead and agreed stop signals. Clear the full panel envelope, protect hard-contact points and keep people outside its tip and pinch paths; stop rather than forcing an obstructed turn.
Check before work: Movement lead walks the route and confirms receiving positions before pickup.
044. Seat on specified supports
Possible hazards: An unretained panel can tip; hands can be crushed between glass and channel.
Planned controls: Set from the designated positions using the actual support and setting-block arrangement. Keep handling support in place until required temporary restraint is verified; use positioning tools without placing fingers beneath or between closing surfaces.
Check before work: Installer and handling lead check seating and restraint before changing support.
055. Complete and verify retention
Possible hazards: Missing retainers or unsuitable packing can let the partition move after unrigging.
Planned controls: Install the specified retainers and seals without substituting hard improvised packing or modifying tempered glass. Complete the actual system checks and obtain the designated release before removing handling or temporary support.
Check before work: Glazing lead records support and retention findings for the installed panel.
066. Release the room interface
Possible hazards: Incomplete protection or unnoticed damage can expose building users.
Planned controls: Inspect the completed section under its designated handover process, identify unfinished work and clean sharp waste. Communicate access status and required visibility markings; retain the boundary where acceptance remains unresolved.
Check before work: Receiving building contact confirms the installed section and access restrictions.
Example scope and starting conditions
A specialist glazing crew will install factory-fabricated safety-glass panels in released interior partition channels and retainers at ground level. Building users are kept outside the installation area until support and final retention are accepted. This fictional learning example describes planned controls; it records no actual inspection or work authorization.
- The actual partition system establishes glass type, panel weight, channel anchorage, setting supports and final retention.
- The approved handling device is suitable for the actual panel surface and orientation.
- Moving doors, stair guards, balustrades, overhead glass, field glass modification and structural glass are excluded.
Know when to pause
- Glass identity, condition or channel support is uncertain.
- Handling control or temporary restraint cannot be maintained.
- Retention findings, unexpected contact or occupant entry interrupt the sequence.
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
- What confirms the channel support and specified glass are compatible?
- How is the panel restrained before the final retainers are complete?
- Who controls access on both sides of the developing partition?
Training and qualifications to confirm
- Actual partition system support, panel seating and final-retention instruction.
- Glass handling-device or team demonstration, sharp-edge protection and stop communication.
Confirm the actual training evidence for the assigned people. A toolbox talk does not establish competence.
Decisions that change the plan
Can the frameless-door example substitute for this partition?
It provides related glass handling background. A fixed partition has channel, setting-support and retention checks rather than hinges, patch fittings and swing testing. Use the actual fixed-panel system and keep doors outside this scope.
What must the crew record for actual use?
Identify the actual equipment and work boundaries, responsible people, applicable criteria, inspection findings and open actions. Resolve changes with affected crews and obtain required project authorization before work.

Task-by-task control and verification rationale
1. Release channels and installation area
Hazard: Unready channels or accessible work paths can expose occupants to falling glass.
Control: Glazing lead checks channel support, specified panel schedule and released layout against the actual system. Close access on both sides and establish the setting sequence; hold for support or glass-type uncertainty.
Verification: Lead verifies support documentation and the complete access boundary before delivery.
Why this belongs in the analysis: The panel depends on the partition supports before it becomes a barrier.
2. Inspect and prepare the panel
Hazard: Damaged edges or an incompatible attachment can cause breakage during pickup.
Control: Verify factory identification, weight and edge condition while the panel remains on protected stable supports. Check handling-device suitability and condition; remove damaged or unidentified panels from the installation sequence and apply assessed cut protection.
Verification: Handling lead checks panel condition and the device instructions before attachment.
Why this belongs in the analysis: A panel intended as safety glass still needs careful edge and load handling.
3. Move through the controlled route
Hazard: A large panel can strike workers or trap hands at a narrow interior passage.
Control: Use the planned device or team method with one movement lead and agreed stop signals. Clear the full panel envelope, protect hard-contact points and keep people outside its tip and pinch paths; stop rather than forcing an obstructed turn.
Verification: Movement lead walks the route and confirms receiving positions before pickup.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Interior room clearance must account for the moving panel, not only people.
4. Seat on specified supports
Hazard: An unretained panel can tip; hands can be crushed between glass and channel.
Control: Set from the designated positions using the actual support and setting-block arrangement. Keep handling support in place until required temporary restraint is verified; use positioning tools without placing fingers beneath or between closing surfaces.
Verification: Installer and handling lead check seating and restraint before changing support.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Seating the bottom edge does not establish complete retention.
5. Complete and verify retention
Hazard: Missing retainers or unsuitable packing can let the partition move after unrigging.
Control: Install the specified retainers and seals without substituting hard improvised packing or modifying tempered glass. Complete the actual system checks and obtain the designated release before removing handling or temporary support.
Verification: Glazing lead records support and retention findings for the installed panel.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Apparent alignment does not demonstrate the panel is secured.
6. Release the room interface
Hazard: Incomplete protection or unnoticed damage can expose building users.
Control: Inspect the completed section under its designated handover process, identify unfinished work and clean sharp waste. Communicate access status and required visibility markings; retain the boundary where acceptance remains unresolved.
Verification: Receiving building contact confirms the installed section and access restrictions.
Why this belongs in the analysis: A transparent partition creates an occupancy interface as well as an installation task.

Common questions
Can this example be used as a JSA?
Adapt its Task | Hazard | Control analysis to the employer’s format and actual conditions. The example is a teaching aid, not evidence that controls were checked.
What changes if the project requires an AHA?
Use the governing AHA format, risk method, supporting records and acceptance process. The published formwork AHA demonstrates that additional structure; changing a JHA title does not supply it.
Are these resources part of a paid course?
This walkthrough, browser draft builder and downloads are free public resources, separate from Academy course enrollment.
