Testimonial

OSHAid is built for the day-to-day reality of a site supervisor. In just a few minutes, I can load in the equipment and machines we actually use on site (mini-excavator, aerial platform, scaffolding, grinder, hammer drill, generator…). Each record clearly states the risks, safety guidelines, and best practices, which makes on-site reminders easier and reduces oversights.

The real win: everything updates remotely. I always have the latest recommendations on hand, plus manufacturer contact details for maintenance or support, without chasing paperwork.

The result: we save time, the team is better informed, and safety improves measurably on the job site.

Construction Hazard Assessment FAQ

What is a hazard assessment in construction?

A construction hazard assessment is the workplace risk evaluation document applied to the building trades. It identifies, evaluates, and ranks the risks workers may be exposed to on job sites, in workshops, depots, or while traveling. In construction, it turns field observations into concrete prevention actions to better protect crews and secure operations.

Is the hazard assessment mandatory in construction?

Yes. The hazard assessment is mandatory in construction from the moment the first employee is hired. This applies to general contractors, building tradespeople, renovation companies, structural and finishing contractors, and specialty firms. Even a small construction business must keep an up-to-date document.

Is it required for a tradesperson with a single employee?

Yes. A construction tradesperson with a single employee must have a hazard assessment. This applies to a mason, painter, plumber, electrician, roofer, tile setter, carpenter, or drywaller employing an apprentice, helper, or laborer. As soon as there is at least one employee, the assessment is mandatory.

Why is it essential in construction?

In construction, risky situations are numerous: working at heights, manual handling, power tool use, machinery traffic, multi-trade activity, and exposure to dust, noise, or chemicals. The hazard assessment is essential because it helps the company structure its prevention efforts, reduce accidents, better organize job sites, and meet regulatory obligations.

What are the main risks to include in a construction hazard assessment?

A construction assessment generally needs to cover the most common risks in the sector: falls from heights, falls on the same level, manual handling, carrying loads, scaffolding risks, machinery and tool use, vehicle traffic, multi-trade activity, noise, vibrations, dust, electrical risks, chemicals, weather conditions, fatigue, and physical strain. The document should reflect the risks your teams actually face.

What construction-site risks should be covered?

On a construction site, the assessment often needs to include specific risks such as trenches, collapses, working at heights, roof work, lifting operations, falling objects, work near utility networks, vehicle traffic, exposure to silica, cement, fumes, solvents, and weather. Each work environment requires its own evaluation.

Which construction trades are concerned?

All construction trades are concerned by the hazard assessment as soon as there is at least one employee. This includes masonry, roofing, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, earthworks, tile setting, public works, renovation, insulation, HVAC, locksmithing, and machinery operation.
