Metal Studs and Drywall Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)
When installing drywall and working with metal studs, there are a wide range of steps that may not immediately evoke thoughts of being hazardous - but for employee and contractor safety, it is important that every step of work performed be evaluated for hazards to ensure a safe work site or workplace.

The Metal Studs and Drywall Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) app is an excellent component to a construction company's or drywall contractor's safety plans. This app notes the sequence of steps involved in a job, specific hazards with each step, and measures for protection or prevention of these hazards. The app can be used from the moment a worker walks into a building until they are packing up their supplies to leave. Whether installing gypsum board, attaching drywall sheet to framing, securing drywall to steel or metal studs, applying drywall joint compound, working around a door frame, or replacing a small piece of drywall, it is important to evaluate the broad range of potential hazards. Using this app, a user can determine what control measures should be included for workers engaging in drywall or metal stud work, such as using personal protective equipment (PPE) like hearing protection, goggles/eye protection, or gloves, using fall protection devices when working at height, ensuring scaffolding is safe and ready to work on, and more. This safety analysis app is an essential component of an occupational safety program and an excellent risk assessment tool.

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
