Planning & Risk Management

Plan the Work. Control the Risk. Execute Safely.

Clearview Safety supports the development of practical planning and risk management processes that identify hazards early, apply effective controls, and ensure work is executed safely and efficiently.

Unplanned Work Is Where Risk Shows Up

Most incidents don’t happen because people don’t care—they happen because risk wasn’t fully understood or controlled before work started.

Common challenges include:

  • Hazard identification is rushed or incomplete
  • Risk assessments don’t reflect actual work conditions
  • JHAs are generic or treated as paperwork
  • Controls are identified—but not consistently applied

When planning is weak, execution becomes unpredictable.

Practical Risk Management That Supports Execution

Clearview Safety helps organizations build planning processes that are usable in the field, not just compliant on paper.

This includes risk assessments, centralized risk tracking (risk registers), critical task identification, and detailed safe work plans for high-risk activities.

We focus on:

  • Identifying hazards before work begins
  • Assessing risk based on real conditions and exposure
  • Prioritizing high-risk tasks that require focused control
  • Defining controls that are practical and effective
  • Ensuring plans are understood and followed in the field

What This Includes

Site Safety Planning

  • Development of site-specific safety plans
  • Integration with project scope, schedule, and work activities
  • Coordination with client and contractor requirements
  • Clear expectations for supervisors and workers

Risk Assessments

  • Structured hazard identification and risk evaluation
  • Use of clear risk matrices and scoring systems
  • Consideration of likelihood, severity, and exposure
  • Prioritization of risks based on overall exposure

Risk Registers & Risk Tracking

  • Development of centralized risk registers to track identified hazards and exposures
  • Consolidation of risks from assessments, JHAs, inspections, and incidents
  • Prioritization of risks based on severity, likelihood, and exposure
  • Assignment of controls, responsibilities, and follow-up actions
  • Ongoing updates to reflect changing site conditions

Critical Task Identification (Critical Task List)

  • Identification of high-risk and high-exposure work activities
  • Development of Critical Task Lists to prioritize planning and control efforts
  • Focus on tasks with the greatest potential for serious injury or incident
  • Alignment with regulatory requirements and project-specific risks
  • Providing clear direction for supervisors on where attention is required

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Development & Review

  • Creation of task-specific JHAs aligned with actual work steps
  • Review and verification of contractor-developed JHAs
  • Ensuring hazards and controls are clearly defined
  • Supporting supervisors in using JHAs as a planning tool—not paperwork

Safe Work Planning (High-Risk Activities)

  • Development and review of task-specific safe work plans for high-risk activities
  • Ensuring all regulatory, client, and site-specific requirements are addressed
  • Coordination between supervisors, workers, and stakeholders prior to execution
  • Verification that controls are clearly defined, communicated, and implemented

Examples include:

  • Confined Space Entry Plans
  • Fall Protection Plans
  • Ground Disturbance / Excavation Plans
  • Hot Work Plans
  • Emergency Response Plans (task or site-specific)
  • Energy Isolation / Lockout Plans

When Planning & Risk Management Support Makes Sense

This service is ideal when:

  • You’re starting a new project or phase of work
  • High-risk or non-routine tasks are being introduced
  • JHAs are inconsistent, incomplete, or not being followed
  • Supervisors need support planning work safely
  • You need detailed safe work plans for critical or regulated activities

The Result: Predictable, Controlled Work

With effective planning and risk management, your team benefits from:

  • Clear understanding of hazards before work begins
  • Consistent application of controls across crews and tasks
  • Improved supervisor confidence in planning and execution
  • Reduced likelihood of incidents and work interruptions
  • Stronger documentation supporting due diligence

Built for the Realities of the Field
