OSHA 2025 Jobsite Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment Standards: What to Know Now
OSHA’s 2025 Jobsite Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Risk Assessment Standards require employers to take a proactive approach to identifying and controlling workplace hazards. These updates focus on documentation, communication, and prevention before work begins.
For Arizona contractors, a solid hazard analysis helps prevent injuries, reduce downtime, and ensure project compliance. D&O Crane conducts detailed risk assessments on every lift, haul, and site setup to meet OSHA and MSHA expectations.
Understanding the 2025 Updates
The revised OSHA 1910.132 and 1926.20 standards now require employers to complete written hazard analyses for all non-routine tasks and high-risk operations. Contractors must identify potential hazards, implement control measures, and verify that all employees understand the risks before work begins.
D&O Crane integrates these assessments into every project. Our team documents each hazard, reviews it with site supervisors, and verifies that all necessary controls are in place.

Steps in a Job Hazard Analysis
OSHA outlines a clear four-step process for completing a JHA:
- Select the job to be analyzed.
- Break the job into basic tasks.
- Identify potential hazards for each step.
- Develop and implement preventive measures.
D&O Crane’s safety team follows this process before every lift or transport operation. We also revisit JHAs after project changes to keep documentation current and relevant.

Involving Employees in the Process
OSHA emphasizes the importance of involving employees in identifying and solving safety hazards. Workers often have the best insight into job-specific risks.
At D&O Crane, operators, riggers, and signalpersons participate directly in every jobsite analysis. Their feedback helps refine procedures, strengthen safety planning, and maintain compliance across all active projects.
Risk Assessment and Control Measures
Employers must assess the severity and likelihood of each hazard, then apply control measures using OSHA’s hierarchy of controls: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative actions, and PPE.
D&O Crane applies this model to every project. From load path planning to equipment setup, we identify and address risks before they impact the crew or the job schedule.
Reference OSHA’s Hazard Prevention and Control Guide for detailed strategies.
Documentation and Continuous Improvement
All hazard analyses and risk assessments must be documented and reviewed regularly. OSHA encourages contractors to treat these documents as living records that evolve with each project.
D&O Crane maintains digital JHA records accessible to site supervisors and clients. Continuous review ensures that safety practices stay aligned with OSHA’s latest standards.
