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 Structural Silicone Glazing Bond Completion JHA
Walk through the job in order. Use these possible hazards, planned controls and checks to start a conversation about your actual work.
011. Accept the structural-bond package
Possible hazards: A weatherseal product or unreviewed joint can be mistaken for structural glass retention.
Planned controls: Review the accepted two-sided field design, approved sealant and substrates, compatibility evidence and quality plan. Identify the person authorized to accept cure and adhesion records; hold work for missing approval.
Check before work: Lead records the design and product revisions and confirms structural use is explicitly accepted.
022. Verify support and protected access
Possible hazards: Pane movement can overstress uncured material; access changes can expose installers to falls.
Planned controls: Inspect the accepted dead-load support and temporary retention without loosening them. Verify protected access and exclusion below; mark the retention that remains until separately authorized removal.
Check before work: Responsible person checks restraint condition and records its continued service before joint work.
033. Prepare the accepted bonding surfaces
Possible hazards: Contamination compromises adhesion; cleaners and sharp tools can cause chemical or cutting injuries.
Planned controls: Use only the approved substrate-preparation procedure with SDS-based exposure controls. Protect prepared surfaces, distinguish backing from bond faces and stop if a substrate differs from the accepted sample.
Check before work: Installer records preparation findings, product identity and any contamination or substrate change.
044. Fill and finish the structural joint
Possible hazards: Voids, wrong geometry or altered material can reduce the designed bond while appearing finished.
Planned controls: Apply the accepted sealant system and joint detail from stable access, with the required process checks. Preserve specified bond faces and record batch identity and application conditions; do not substitute a weatherseal procedure.
Check before work: Assigned quality person checks fill continuity and the actual approved detail before concealment.
055. Protect cure and verify adhesion
Possible hazards: Loading an incompletely cured or poorly adhered joint can release the pane.
Planned controls: Keep the required mechanical retention in place and prevent disturbance. Perform and record the project-required cure and adhesion checks using the approved quality procedure; do not infer release from elapsed time alone.
Check before work: Authorized reviewer accepts actual test evidence and open actions before any support-release request.
066. Authorize retention release and handoff
Possible hazards: Removing the wrong restraint can expose workers and people below to an unsecured pane.
Planned controls: Follow the separately accepted retention-removal sequence only after bond acceptance. Confirm permanent dead-load supports remain as designed, inspect the final condition and transfer all quality records.
Check before work: Supervisor records the specific retention released, bond acceptance and final facade status.
Example scope and starting conditions
A glazing crew completes an approved two-sided field structural-silicone joint on one already positioned curtain-wall pane. Accepted mechanical dead-load support and designed temporary retention remain in service throughout joint preparation, cure and testing. This fictional learning example describes planned controls; it records no actual inspection or work authorization.
- Partial sealant and curtain-wall coverage: actual structural bond completion, not a weatherseal or pane-setting operation.
- The structural joint, substrates, sealant system and field application have project-specific designer and manufacturer acceptance.
- Four-sided field structural glazing, replacement-glass removal and improvised retention are outside this scenario.
Know when to pause
- Pause for unapproved field application, changed substrates, disturbed retention, out-of-criteria application conditions or failed adhesion checks.
- Replan for four-sided field bonding, pane replacement or any changed structural joint design.
After a pause, correct the condition, reassess the work, and obtain required authorization before restarting.

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 has accepted this specific field structural-bond design and substrate compatibility evidence?
- What protects the pane and keeps stress off the joint while preparation, filling and curing take place?
- Which actual cure and adhesion records are required before designated temporary retention can be removed?
Training and qualifications to confirm
- Train applicators on the approved field structural-bond procedure, substrate preparation and traceable quality checks.
- Train assigned reviewers to distinguish cure and adhesion acceptance from retention-removal authorization.
Confirm the actual training evidence for the assigned people. A toolbox talk does not establish competence.
Decisions that change the plan
Can the glazing weatherseal example serve this task?
No. The weatherseal example explicitly excludes structural bonding. This task keeps designed mechanical support in service and requires project-specific structural-joint, cure and adhesion acceptance before designated temporary retention is released.
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. Accept the structural-bond package
Hazard: A weatherseal product or unreviewed joint can be mistaken for structural glass retention.
Control: Review the accepted two-sided field design, approved sealant and substrates, compatibility evidence and quality plan. Identify the person authorized to accept cure and adhesion records; hold work for missing approval.
Verification: Lead records the design and product revisions and confirms structural use is explicitly accepted.
Why this belongs in the analysis: A sealant label or familiar trade name does not establish suitability for this structural joint.
2. Verify support and protected access
Hazard: Pane movement can overstress uncured material; access changes can expose installers to falls.
Control: Inspect the accepted dead-load support and temporary retention without loosening them. Verify protected access and exclusion below; mark the retention that remains until separately authorized removal.
Verification: Responsible person checks restraint condition and records its continued service before joint work.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Temporary retention is part of the curing condition, not an obstacle to remove for convenience.
3. Prepare the accepted bonding surfaces
Hazard: Contamination compromises adhesion; cleaners and sharp tools can cause chemical or cutting injuries.
Control: Use only the approved substrate-preparation procedure with SDS-based exposure controls. Protect prepared surfaces, distinguish backing from bond faces and stop if a substrate differs from the accepted sample.
Verification: Installer records preparation findings, product identity and any contamination or substrate change.
Why this belongs in the analysis: A neatly cleaned joint may still be incompatible with the actual coating or bonding material.
4. Fill and finish the structural joint
Hazard: Voids, wrong geometry or altered material can reduce the designed bond while appearing finished.
Control: Apply the accepted sealant system and joint detail from stable access, with the required process checks. Preserve specified bond faces and record batch identity and application conditions; do not substitute a weatherseal procedure.
Verification: Assigned quality person checks fill continuity and the actual approved detail before concealment.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Surface appearance alone cannot establish full structural contact inside the joint.
5. Protect cure and verify adhesion
Hazard: Loading an incompletely cured or poorly adhered joint can release the pane.
Control: Keep the required mechanical retention in place and prevent disturbance. Perform and record the project-required cure and adhesion checks using the approved quality procedure; do not infer release from elapsed time alone.
Verification: Authorized reviewer accepts actual test evidence and open actions before any support-release request.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Cure depends on the product and conditions; a universal waiting period is not acceptance evidence.
6. Authorize retention release and handoff
Hazard: Removing the wrong restraint can expose workers and people below to an unsecured pane.
Control: Follow the separately accepted retention-removal sequence only after bond acceptance. Confirm permanent dead-load supports remain as designed, inspect the final condition and transfer all quality records.
Verification: Supervisor records the specific retention released, bond acceptance and final facade status.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Bond acceptance and permission to remove a particular temporary device are connected but separate decisions.
Compare control wording
| Needs improvement | More useful for this scenario |
|---|---|
| Work carefully and wear PPE. | Use only the approved substrate-preparation procedure with SDS-based exposure controls. Protect prepared surfaces, distinguish backing from bond faces and stop if a substrate differs from the accepted sample. |
| Check that everything is ready. | Review the accepted two-sided field design, approved sealant and substrates, compatibility evidence and quality plan. Identify the person authorized to accept cure and adhesion records; hold work for missing approval. |
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.
