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 TPO Curb Flashing 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 curb access and nearby work
Possible hazards: An opening, active equipment or uncoordinated crew can expose the roofer around the curb.
Planned controls: Confirm opening/edge protection, released roof access and coordination with the equipment owner. Resolve isolation and movement concerns before starting; maintain protection as the crew changes position around the curb.
Check before work: Roofing lead records access, protection and equipment-interface findings.
022. Confirm compatible materials and detail
Possible hazards: Wrong flashing materials or an unsuitable termination can leave defects that are hidden by subsequent work.
Planned controls: Match membrane, accessories and substrate preparation to the accepted system detail and actual geometry. Stage only compatible materials within roof loading limits; stop where the existing curb or substrate cannot satisfy the released detail.
Check before work: Lead confirms materials, curb condition and the actual detail revision.
033. Establish tools and weld conditions
Possible hazards: Heat, electrical leads, wet conditions or unsuitable welding settings can expose workers and damage material.
Planned controls: Inspect the suitable welding equipment and electrical protection, route leads clear of walking paths and keep combustibles controlled. Establish test-weld acceptance for the actual weather and material conditions under the system instructions before production work.
Check before work: Assigned roofer records equipment checks and the required test-weld findings.
044. Fit upstands and corners
Possible hazards: Cutting and awkward access can expose hands while poorly fitting corners create extra rework.
Planned controls: Use controlled cuts and stable working positions to fit the specified flashing and corner components. Preserve required opening protection and geometry; avoid stretching or improvising material arrangements to bridge an unresolved fit or substrate defect.
Check before work: Installer checks fit and corner detail before completing each assembly.
055. Weld and finish termination
Possible hazards: Burns, missed corner seams or incomplete termination can occur at tight changes of plane.
Planned controls: Maintain heat-tool control and the qualified welding conditions as the crew welds the required seams. Complete the specified curb-top termination, seal and fastening details, then inspect seams with the actual cooled-weld acceptance method; record defects for repair and recheck.
Check before work: Roofing lead checks seam and termination findings, repairs and reinspection.
066. Hand over the flashed curb
Possible hazards: Unrecorded defects or access restrictions can expose the equipment or following roofing crew.
Planned controls: Remove sharp scraps and secure tools. Record completed flashing, open repairs, protection and equipment-interface restrictions; transfer them to the receiving lead without implying that equipment operation or opening protection has been independently released.
Check before work: Receiving lead acknowledges the flashing status and remaining actions.
Example scope and starting conditions
A single-ply roofing crew will flash an accepted existing equipment curb on a released low-slope TPO roof. The work covers compatible curb upstands, corners, field welds and the specified top termination without setting equipment or altering the roof opening. This fictional learning example describes planned controls; it records no actual inspection or work authorization.
- The curb and opening protection are accepted, with equipment isolation and nearby work coordination established where applicable.
- The selected membrane system and actual curb geometry have an accepted compatible flashing and termination detail.
- Equipment lifting, curb erection, opening enlargement, skylights and energized equipment servicing are excluded.
Know when to pause
- Unaccepted curb/opening condition, equipment interface or incompatible materials.
- Test welds or production seams fail the actual acceptance checks.
- Wet/changed weather, defective equipment or a detail/fit change outside the released scope.
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
- Which actual upstand, corner and termination detail applies to this curb?
- How are the curb opening and nearby equipment hazards controlled?
- What establishes acceptable weld conditions before final flashing begins?
Training and qualifications to confirm
- TPO curb upstand/corner/termination detail, test welding and actual cooled-seam inspection instruction.
- Heat-tool and electrical controls, opening/fall protection and equipment-owner coordination.
Confirm the actual training evidence for the assigned people. A toolbox talk does not establish competence.
Decisions that change the plan
Does a field-membrane test weld release every curb corner?
No. Establish suitable weld conditions, then inspect the actual flashing seams, corners and termination using the system criteria. Record defects, repairs and rechecks at this curb.
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 curb access and nearby work
Hazard: An opening, active equipment or uncoordinated crew can expose the roofer around the curb.
Control: Confirm opening/edge protection, released roof access and coordination with the equipment owner. Resolve isolation and movement concerns before starting; maintain protection as the crew changes position around the curb.
Verification: Roofing lead records access, protection and equipment-interface findings.
Why this belongs in the analysis: An existing curb does not establish safe access or equipment status.
2. Confirm compatible materials and detail
Hazard: Wrong flashing materials or an unsuitable termination can leave defects that are hidden by subsequent work.
Control: Match membrane, accessories and substrate preparation to the accepted system detail and actual geometry. Stage only compatible materials within roof loading limits; stop where the existing curb or substrate cannot satisfy the released detail.
Verification: Lead confirms materials, curb condition and the actual detail revision.
Why this belongs in the analysis: A workable-looking corner is not evidence of a compatible system.
3. Establish tools and weld conditions
Hazard: Heat, electrical leads, wet conditions or unsuitable welding settings can expose workers and damage material.
Control: Inspect the suitable welding equipment and electrical protection, route leads clear of walking paths and keep combustibles controlled. Establish test-weld acceptance for the actual weather and material conditions under the system instructions before production work.
Verification: Assigned roofer records equipment checks and the required test-weld findings.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Settings from yesterday do not establish today’s acceptable weld.
4. Fit upstands and corners
Hazard: Cutting and awkward access can expose hands while poorly fitting corners create extra rework.
Control: Use controlled cuts and stable working positions to fit the specified flashing and corner components. Preserve required opening protection and geometry; avoid stretching or improvising material arrangements to bridge an unresolved fit or substrate defect.
Verification: Installer checks fit and corner detail before completing each assembly.
Why this belongs in the analysis: A fit problem can indicate a condition that the accepted detail does not cover.
5. Weld and finish termination
Hazard: Burns, missed corner seams or incomplete termination can occur at tight changes of plane.
Control: Maintain heat-tool control and the qualified welding conditions as the crew welds the required seams. Complete the specified curb-top termination, seal and fastening details, then inspect seams with the actual cooled-weld acceptance method; record defects for repair and recheck.
Verification: Roofing lead checks seam and termination findings, repairs and reinspection.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Three-dimensional corners need their own inspection rather than a field-seam assumption.
6. Hand over the flashed curb
Hazard: Unrecorded defects or access restrictions can expose the equipment or following roofing crew.
Control: Remove sharp scraps and secure tools. Record completed flashing, open repairs, protection and equipment-interface restrictions; transfer them to the receiving lead without implying that equipment operation or opening protection has been independently released.
Verification: Receiving lead acknowledges the flashing status and remaining actions.
Why this belongs in the analysis: Flashing completion does not authorize equipment use or removal of opening controls.
Compare control wording
| Needs improvement | More useful for this scenario |
|---|---|
| Work carefully and wear PPE. | Inspect the suitable welding equipment and electrical protection, route leads clear of walking paths and keep combustibles controlled. Establish test-weld acceptance for the actual weather and material conditions under the system instructions before production work. |
| Check that everything is ready. | Confirm opening/edge protection, released roof access and coordination with the equipment owner. Resolve isolation and movement concerns before starting; maintain protection as the crew changes position around the curb. |
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.
