our Safety practices
Safety in Commercial Waterproofing
Commercial waterproofing is a complex and often high-risk operation. Our projects typically involve working at heights, handling heavy materials, and dealing with hazardous chemicals and tools. Any oversight or lack of attention to safety procedures can lead to serious accidents or delays.
For property owners and facility managers, understanding safety protocols ensures you are equipped to identify and address potential hazards before they become issues. Protecting both people and property from injury or damage is not only our responsibility but yours as well.
OSHA Compliance
We follow all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to ensure compliance with the highest safety standards for commercial waterproofing projects. These OSHA guidelines cover everything from fall protection to safe handling of equipment and materials. Here's a brief overview of key safety protocols we follow:
Fall Protection: Our teams utilize fall arrest systems, guardrails, and safety harnesses when working at elevated heights to prevent accidents.
Scaffolding and Ladders: Only certified personnel are allowed to set up, use, and inspect scaffolding and ladders. We ensure that all equipment is stable and safe for use.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and steel-toed boots are standard for all team members. Specialized gear is used when handling chemicals or working in extreme conditions.
Hazard Communication: We comply with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), ensuring that any chemicals or substances used on your property are properly labeled and our team is trained to handle them safely.
Other Essential Procedures
In addition to OSHA protocols, we implement the following safety measures to ensure safe and successful project completion:
Weather Monitoring: Weather conditions such as high winds, rain, or extreme heat can create dangerous situations. We continually monitor forecasts and adjust our work schedule as necessary.
Tool and Equipment Safety: All tools are inspected and maintained regularly. Equipment is only operated by trained personnel to reduce the risk of malfunctions or accidents.
Site Inspections: Before starting work, a thorough site inspection is conducted to identify any existing hazards, such as uneven ground, exposed electrical wiring, or inadequate lighting.
Clear Signage and Barricades: To prevent accidental access to hazardous areas, we use clear signage and physical barriers around the work zone.
