An analysis is completed for each project to ensure that all hazards are identified and eliminated before the project begins. A JHA is a procedure that examines a job to determine any hazard that may cause an accident or injury. A job is broken down into its successive steps - task/job, potential hazards, & actions to be taken - and each step is closely analyzed to identify and eliminate potential hazards. Environmental Plans Arctic Sheet Metal promotes preservation of the environment and intelligent use of our natural resources. Internal programs for recycling of waste products, hazardous chemicals, and material management programs ensure that these goals are achieved. Job site programs ensure the quality, care and protection of our clients' facilities. AS ALWAYS, SAFE PRODUCTION IS NUMBER ONE!
