Operations Safety Plan
Develop an operations safety plan to promote worker safety for all workers on-site. The plan must include recommendations for using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as foot, head, eye, face, ear, respiratory, and/or fall protection, where applicable. Include provisions to ensure staff can take breaks, access essential services, and be protected from inclement weather while working in and around the building. Display safety policies and emergency procedures prominently in common areas and staff break rooms.
Perform an annual safety review to inform the operations safety plan. Assess each of the following systems, where applicable, for access, confined space, and fall and hazard exposures. Incorporate at least one protective measure for each of the following systems into the operations safety plan:
-
Roof systems : For example, personnel access, equipment location, and fall protection needs
-
Equipment rooms and systems : For example, evaluate personnel access, confined spaces, and safety features, such as fall protection and eye wash stations
-
Building exterior enclosure and window cleaning systems : For example, access for cleaning and maintenance
