    Customer Quote

    "I can't live without the Pre-Task Planner. The ability to add equipment and permits to the plan has been a game changer with trades because now they are actively putting them together and sharing them with their workers to sign off on. It gets everyone involved in the process. "

    Pre-Task Plan FAQs

    What is a pre task plan in construction?

     

    A pre task plan (PTP) is a daily hazard assessment that identifies job-specific hazards, assign controls, and document worker sign-offs before work begins. HammerTech digitizes the entire process from hazard identification to supervisor review and e-signature capture.

    Can pre task plan templates be customized in HammerTech?

     

    Yes. HammerTech allows safety and site teams to configure PTP templates by trade, task type, or site-specific requirement, ensuring crews work from the right form every time.

    How does HammerTech connect pre task plans to permits and JHAs?

     

    HammerTech links PTPs directly to Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), work permits, and equipment records within the platform, so safety managers can review and approve connected documentation without switching between systems.

    What results have construction teams seen with HammerTech pre task planning?

     

    Teams using HammerTech's PTP workflows have reported productivity increases of up to 16% and a reduction in injury risk and claims cost of up to 32%, driven by faster hazard recognition, connected workflows, and stronger crew accountability.
