OSHA Job Hazard Analysis (Publication 3071, PDF)
OSHA's booklet on how to do a job hazard analysis: break a task into steps, identify the hazards in each step, and decide on controls. It includes a sample worksheet that a foreman can copy for sealcoating, crack sealing, or striping tasks. This is also a practical source for toolbox talk topics.
OSHA Silica Standard for Construction Fact Sheet (PDF)
A short OSHA fact sheet summarizing what the construction silica standard requires of employers, including exposure limits, control methods, written plans, and training. It is the quickest way for an owner to see the main obligations before reading the full rule. Good to share with a foreman who will act as the competent person for silica.
OSHA Small Business Safety and Health Handbook (PDF)
OSHA's handbook for small employers on setting up a basic safety and health program, with self-inspection checklists by topic. It is written for owners without a safety staff, which describes most pavement contractors. The checklists can be adapted for a yard or truck inspection.
