Plan for Worksite Analysis

Worksite Analysis is a combination of systematic actions to provide you with the information you need to recognize and understand the hazards and potential hazards of your workplace. We will discuss five important processes in the worksite analysis plan.

The first of these important processes should be the baseline survey that helps the employer determine the current status of the CSMS. When planning for a construction worksite analysis, be sure to include at a minimum all the following processes:

  • Comprehensive baseline surveys (insurance inspections, OSHA On-site, etc.)
  • Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs)
  • Hazard identification, both hazardous conditions and exposure to those hazards
  • Analysis of changes in the workplace (new equipment, new processes)
  • Regular site safety and health inspections (employee and management)
