2. Task Duration
Estimated Start: [START TIME] Estimated Completion: [END TIME]
3. Personnel Involved
- [ROLE 1]
- [ROLE 2]
- [ROLE 3]
4. Task-Specific Hazards and Controls
| Hazard | Risk | Control Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Fall from height | Serious injury or death | Use fall protection systems such as guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems when working 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels [2]. Ensure proper use of body belts or harnesses, lanyards, and anchorage points [2]. |
| Falling objects | Injury to workers below | Use toeboards to prevent tools and materials from falling [2]. Secure all tools and materials to prevent them from falling. Establish a drop zone and restrict access to the area below. |
| Structural instability | Collapse of the roof structure | Ensure that any component designed to support a part of the project is completed before adding to the load on that part [1]. Brace free-standing walls or structures adequately to prevent collapse [1]. Consult with an engineer for bracing or shoring design if necessary [1]. |
| Improper scaffold use | Falls, scaffold collapse | Ensure scaffolds are erected and used according to regulations. Use ladder jack scaffolds below 20 feet [3]. Inspect scaffold components before use [4]. |

## 29 CFR 1926 (OSHA) Toeboard means a low protective barrier that will prevent the fall of materials and equipment to lower levels and provide protection from falls for personnel. Unprotected sides and edges means any side or edge (except at entrances to points of access) of a walking/working surface, e.g., floor, roof, ramp, or runway where there is no wall or guardrail system at least 39 inches (1.0 m) high. Walking/working surface means any surface, whether horizontal or vertical on which an employee walks or works, including, but not limited to, floors, roofs, ramps, bridges, runways, formwork and concrete reinforcing steel but not including ladders, vehicles, or trailers, on which employees must be located in order to perform their job duties. Warning line system means a barrier erected on a roof to warn employees that they are approaching an unprotected roof side or edge, and which designates an area in which roofing work may take place without the use of guardrail, body belt, or safety net systems to protect employees in the area. Work area means that portion of a walking/working surface where job duties are being performed.
