New job hazard analysis sheets can help concrete contractors
The Concrete Polishing Council (CPC), a specialty council of the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC), has developed seven Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) sheets for tasks primarily related to the process of polishing concrete. JHAs are used on the jobsite, prior to starting work each day, to remind craftsmen of the risks inherent in the work for that day, and the precautions that must be taken to avoid accidents.
Tasks covered in the polishing JHAs are changing pucks, safe procedures for emptying the vacuum and filter changes, sealing concrete floors, work location set up, portable generator set up, and fueling generators.
