13 1a Installation of ductwork This JHA describes the primary hazards and hazard controls associated with the installation of ductwork. The five main steps for installing new ductwork include: materials arriving on the job and workers unloading them; establishing a building control area; the installation of hangers; the installation of ductwork; and the testing of ductwork. Some of the primary hazard associated with these steps include: slips, trips, and falls; overhead work hazards; and falls over six feet. Some of the primary hazard controls for this job include using appropriate PPE and keeping the work area clean and free of debris. John Smith Ed Johnson 03/12/14 03/12/14 13
