Every job starts with a hazard assessment — not as paperwork, but as the foundation for the work that follows. STL drivers and contractors identify hazards before work begins, not after something goes wrong.
Pre-job hazard assessments and Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) are completed for every dispatch, every site, every load configuration. We apply the full hierarchy of hazard controls — elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE — in that order of preference, not as an afterthought.
Field-level hazard assessments are documented before work starts at any remote or unfamiliar site. Drivers are trained to stop and reassess if conditions change mid-job — a new hazard, a weather shift, an equipment issue. That authority to pause and reassess is a core part of STL's safety culture, not an exception to it.

How this element works in practice
- Job Safety Analysis (JSA) completed before every dispatch
- Field-level hazard assessment at every new or remote site
- Full hierarchy of controls applied — elimination first, PPE last
- Driver authority to stop work when conditions change
- Hazard assessments reviewed and updated for recurring routes
- Site-specific hazards documented in the Journey Management Plan
