Description

The Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for HDPE tank liner welding addresses the specific risks and safety protocols associated with
the installation and welding of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liners for tank applications. The JHA covers activities such as
surface preparation, welding processes (including extrusion and fusion welding), material handling, and post-welding
inspections.
The scope includes the identification of physical, chemical, and ergonomic hazards that may arise during the welding of HDPE
liners.
