Field Level Hazard Assessment (FLHA) Template for Ontario Crews

When a site wants a pre-task hazard review before work starts, this is the document most crews reach for. Use Blue Crane to outline the job, call out the hazards, assign controls, and keep a clean record of what the crew reviewed before the shift or task.

When crews use this

FLHAs are commonly used before starting physical work, before moving into a new work area, or when the task changes enough that the crew needs to stop and review hazards again.

  • Pre-task reviews before the shift starts
  • Site-specific crew hazard briefings
  • Client or constructor pre-work paperwork

What to have ready

The best FLHAs are short, specific, and tied to the actual task in front of the crew.

  • Job name and exact work area
  • Main hazards and expected controls
  • PPE, tools, access, and emergency notes

Why it matters

An FLHA creates a visible record that the crew reviewed the work conditions before starting. It also helps site leaders reset the conversation when conditions, access, weather, or sequencing change.

Frequently asked questions

Is an FLHA a single official Ontario government form?

Not as one single province-wide named form. In practice, many constructors, site owners, and contractors use FLHAs or similar pre-task hazard assessments as their working record before work starts.

Who signs an FLHA?

Usually the supervisor, lead hand, foreman, or the crew doing the work reviews and signs it together, depending on the site practice.

When should it be redone?

Redo it when the location changes, the task changes, the crew changes, or the hazards are no longer the same as what was reviewed.

Next Step

Build the FLHA record before the crew starts moving

Open the FLHA in Blue Crane, map the task-specific hazards and controls, and keep the form attached to the rest of the site paperwork.
