Understanding your FLHA · Lesson 3 of 11
What do I write under "task" on an FLHA?
On an FLHA, or Field Level Hazard Assessment, the task line describes what you will do, what you will work with, where, and what you will use.
FLHA · Their form so far
Role and task are different
Role is who you are on the crew. For example, general labourer.
Task is what you will do today. For example, moving boxes from the loading area into room 3 using a cart.
Your role may stay the same while your tasks change. The task line on an FLHA asks about today's work, not your job title.
Two ways to write the task
Moving boxes
Why: "Moving boxes" could mean many jobs. The crew can't tell where the boxes are going, or how.
Moving boxes from the loading area into room 3 using a cart
Why: Now the crew can picture the job. They can think about the route, like the hallway where other workers are walking.

Before you write, try answering the four questions out loud. Then put your answers into one line.
