Job Hazard Analysis
A hazard analysis that skips review before work starts is a formality, not a safeguard. FlexManager's Job Hazard Analysis module identifies hazards for a specific job, scores the risk of each one, defines the controls that address it, and routes the analysis through multi-level approval before any operation goes ahead.
A Review That Happens Before Work Starts, Not After
Job Hazard Analysis sits within FlexManager’s Health & Safety suite, connected to Dashboards, Contractor Manager and Analytics, so hazard trends and approval status stay visible beyond the individual analysis itself. Rather than treating an analysis as a one-off form, it’s built around a review process that has to happen before work starts, and insight that carries on after it’s finished.
Built for Anyone Who Signs Off on Work Before It Starts
The module supports HSEQ and Health & Safety Managers who need hazards analysed and approved before work goes ahead, Contractor Managers coordinating third-party participation in a risk assessment, and Operations Managers who need visibility into hazard trends across jobs over time.
Job-Specific Hazard Identification
Systematically identify hazards associated with a specific job or task, enabling proactive controls rather than reacting to an incident after it's already happened.
Risk Scoring by Likelihood & Severity
Conduct a thorough risk assessment for each identified hazard, evaluating the likelihood and severity of potential consequences, so priority is based on actual risk rather than guesswork.
Defined Control Measures
Define and implement appropriate control measures to eliminate or minimise each identified risk, so a hazard results in an actual mitigation rather than just a flagged concern.
Multi-Level Approval Before Work Begins
Route a completed analysis through a multi-level approval system, ensuring a thorough review has taken place before any of the operations it covers actually take place.
Contractor & Third-Party Participation
Let contractors and third parties participate in the risk assessment process with controlled access, rather than excluding them from an analysis that covers work they're doing.
Mobile Completion With Post-Work Analytics
Complete and review an analysis from any location, then evaluate outcomes afterwards with reporting that surfaces trends in common hazards reported directly from teams in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does FlexManager's Job Hazard Analysis module do?
It lets teams systematically identify hazards for a specific job, assess the risk of each one by likelihood and severity, and define the control measures that address it. The completed analysis then goes through a multi-level approval process, so it’s reviewed before the work it covers actually goes ahead.
How is risk scored within a job hazard analysis?
Each identified hazard is assessed for the likelihood and severity of its potential consequences, giving a consistent basis for evaluating risk across different hazards rather than relying on a purely subjective judgement call.
Does an analysis need to be approved before work can start?
Yes. Analyses go through a multi-level approval system, ensuring a thorough review has taken place before any of the operations they cover actually take place, rather than the analysis simply being filed once it’s completed.
Can contractors take part in a job hazard analysis?
Yes. Contractors and third parties can participate in the risk assessment process with controlled access, so an analysis covering their work doesn’t have to exclude the people actually carrying it out on site.
Can an analysis be completed away from a desk?
Yes. Job hazard analyses can be completed and reviewed from any location, streamlining the process for teams in the field, with the results shared through to desktop for further analysis and review afterwards.
Does the module help identify hazard trends over time?
Yes. Reporting and analytics surface trends relating to hazards reported directly from teams in the field, helping identify common hazards and how effectively they’re being mitigated across jobs rather than looking at each analysis in isolation.
Why choose FlexManager for job hazard analysis?
FlexManager has been building practical compliance software since 2011, with hands-on HSEQ expertise behind every module we build. FlexManager is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 certification. For job hazard analysis specifically, that ISO 45001 grounding is why the module builds in a formal approval step, rather than treating a hazard analysis as paperwork completed after the fact.
