There are a multitude of pre-task planning documents out there. These include, at a minimum: . Tool Box Talk . Risk Assessment . Job Safety Analysis (JSA) . Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) . Permit to Work (PTW) . Tailgate Safety Meeting . Pre-job Safety Meeting . Risk & Impact Assessment No matter the name at the top of the document, the ultimate objective is the same: to get the job done with no nasty surprises. The mechanism by which this is done varies slightly with each document type, yet the best way to accomplish this is the one most pre-task plans leave out: concrete tasks that are both relevant to and effective against identified hazards. Once assigned to specific individuals in the work team, such actions are far more likely to positively influence the way the task is carried out in real life. Thanks to you and other contributors, the completed documents in the vPSI Pre-Task Planning Tool and Library SystemSM help ensure this crucial step is not missed. I hope that you have found this Tool Tip helpful. Feel free to forward it to others who you think will find it interesting.
