Things to remember:
- Each assigned JHA Team member must complete Work Acknowledgement.
- The JHA cannot move forward for approval until all acknowledgements are completed.
- If the JHA is sent back for updates, team members must re-acknowledge after changes are made.

The team member acknowledgement is recorded; the JHA can proceed after all required members complete acknowledgement.

Next: After all required acknowledgements, the JHA Owner or Approver reviews the JHA.
