Field Plans & Daily Safety Toolbox
Plan the work and the day: JHA, pre-task/STA card, fall-protection plan and clearance check, ladder set-up, trench protection, emergency action plan, heat-illness plan, and a crane lift plan.
What this covers
Planning the work before it starts is where most incidents are prevented. A job hazard analysis breaks a task into steps and controls; pre-task cards put that in the crew's hands daily; and standards mandate written plans for fall protection, emergencies, and heat. Construction fall protection triggers at 6 feet (1926.501). This pack covers the JHA, pre-task/STA, fall, emergency, heat, and crane lift plans.

Frequently asked questions
At what height is fall protection required?
In construction, generally at 6 feet above a lower level (1926.501). In general industry the trigger is 4 feet (1910.28). Different triggers apply for scaffolds, steel erection, and other specific work.
When is a written emergency action plan required?
When another OSHA standard requires it (for example certain HazWaste, process safety, or fixed-extinguisher scenarios). An EAP must cover evacuation routes, reporting, and accounting for employees; if you have 10 or fewer employees you may communicate it orally.
Is there a federal OSHA heat standard?
There is no separate heat-illness standard yet — heat hazards are currently enforced under the General Duty Clause, and OSHA has a proposed rule in progress. Several state plans (e.g., California) already have specific heat requirements.
Planning aids only — not legal advice. Confirm every determination against the current OSHA standard and your State-Plan's rules.
