Risk Assessment and Management Approach

We don't just provide architectural, engineering services, and project management – we are building a community!

RISK ASSESSMENT

It is the policy of JG-I that for every work task to be completed, the risk (probability + severity) is assessed/analyzed so that proper controls can be put into place to minimize and lower the risk of injury/illness. JG-I utilizes a combination of formal hazard assessment techniques and site-specific hazard assessment techniques.

Risk assessment is a vital component in ensuring on-site safety, helping to drive JG-I toward our ZERO ACCIDENT target.

Formal Hazard Assessments

JG-I field staff and all subcontractors are required to participate in Formal Hazard Assessments prior to start of a new job and as job conditions or scope of work is altered or new work tasks are added.

  • Pre-Job Hazard Assessment and Safety Meeting
  • Job Hazard Analysis for all JG-I Tasks

Site-Specific Hazard Assessment Methods

JG-I field staff and all subcontractors are required to complete Site-Specific Hazard Assessments prior to start of a new job and as job conditions or scope of work is altered, while on-site.

  • Daily Tailgate Meetings
  • Field Level Hazard Assessments (FLHA)

HAZARD CONTROLS

Once hazards are assessed and prioritized using JG-I's Risk Ranking Table and controls are put into place. JG-I follows the below guide/hierarchy for providing controls for hazards. These controls are listed below in order from MOST EFFECTIVE to LEAST EFFECTIVE:

Hierarchy of Controls

S - Personnel Safety

P - Business/Production

E - Environmental

D - Damage

H - HIGH RISKS
Unacceptable risk level. Actions are required to eliminate or reduce the risk immediately

M- MEDIUM RISKS
Risk controls are required

L - LOW RISKS
Acceptable risk (controls will still be justified)
