Question 1

How do I create a JHA with Pretakt?

Accepted Answer

Open the JHA tool and provide a job-site photo in JPEG, PNG, or WebP format (up to 10 MB) plus a short description of the work (1–2,000 characters). Pretakt returns a structured analysis with hazards, controls ranked by the hierarchy of controls, PPE, and OSHA references. Review and adapt the result to the actual task, equipment, crew, and site conditions before work starts. The analysis may be incomplete or incorrect and does not guarantee correctness or regulatory compliance.

Question 2

Does a Pretakt JHA guarantee accuracy or compliance?

Accepted Answer

No. Treat the generated analysis as a starting point for review. Check every hazard, control, PPE suggestion, and reference against the actual task and site conditions, and make any needed changes before the crew uses it. Pretakt does not guarantee that a JHA is correct or that it ensures regulatory compliance.

Question 3

What access do I need to generate and save a JHA?

Accepted Answer

Generating a JHA requires an active paid subscription. Sign in to save and reopen incomplete drafts and to access your saved reports. If you are signed out, sign in before using the generator.

Question 4

Can I save an unfinished JHA and continue it later?

Accepted Answer

When signed in, you can save an incomplete draft and reopen it in the JHA tool to continue. After generating an analysis, save the report before requesting supervisor sign-off. Saved reports appear in your JHA history.

Question 5

What does supervisor sign-off record?

Accepted Answer

On a saved report, the supervisor enters their full name and draws a signature. Pretakt stores that sign-off with the report and includes it in the printable PDF. An existing sign-off can be updated. This records a supervisor sign-off; it is not regulatory approval and does not guarantee compliance.

Question 6

How do I download a saved JHA report?

Accepted Answer

Sign in, then choose Download PDF from the saved report detail page or from JHA report history. The history option also offers a JSON export. Existing report ownership and worksite access rules apply, so you can download only reports you are authorized to access.
