# Complete a pre-task safety analysis

> Review potential risks, control measures, and responsible parties before beginning a task

A pre-task safety analysis (PTSA), also known as a pre-task plan (PTP), is a structured safety review conducted before beginning a specific task. Crews use it to identify potential hazards, define control measures, and confirm that everyone involved understands the risks. PTSAs demonstrate due diligence in meeting OSHA and client safety requirements.
