Personal Hazard Identification Tool
MY JHA
• HMT believes that hazard recognition is a key
component of safety while on the job site. But
with any job things change throughout the day
that are not always added to the daily JHA. With
that HMT implemented a program call “My JHA”.

MY JHA
• This personal JHA card is carried by each person and
allows the individual to identify any additional hazard
associated with their assigned task.
• This personal JHA is used when the assigned task of the
employee changes, conditions on the site changes due
to weather delays or other reasons such as additional
contractors working on or around the site or if an
additional task that was not identified on the daily JHA.
• The personal JHA is a means of allowing the employee
to make a Last Minute Risk Assessment of the task
that they have been assigned on the work site so that
they can accomplish the task safely and efficiently.

Additional uses for the My JHA
• The My JHA can be a canvas for focus items
related to safety. We use the personal JHA to
focus on hand safety, heat stress during the
summer months, HMT Deal Breakers or any
other safety related topic that we feel needs
additional attention.

HMT Green Hatter Safety Program
• HMT believes that in order for a strong safety culture to
be a corner post for our success we have to make safety
the first priority of every employee and every crew that
works in the field. The HMT Green Hatter was a
program that grew from the need of having someone on
each site that was willing to spend time every day
focused specifically on the safety at each site. We
identified an employee on each crew that held safety a
value and promoted safety through their actions each
day. That person was identified as the Green Hatter for
that crew.

HMT Green Hatter Program
• The expectation of the Green Hatters is to
identify hazards or at-risk behaviors, bringing
them to the attention of the foreman and fellow
employees so that the hazard or behavior can
be eliminated.
• Green Hatters should be prepared to be part of
the solution for at-risk issues they
discover. For example, the observer can
and should fix a barricade or perform
housekeeping activities as necessary.
