Every team member working at heights is accountable to this standard, which includes all work over 4ft. above grade and is outside of the confines of approved platforms.  These operations requires 100% fall protection. Safety devices (harnesses, lanyards, anchors, etc..) must confrom to shock load requirements.

Only access work areas designated as a confined space through a permit system that controls all entries and establishes specific precautions for that confined space. Prior to confined space entry, you must complete the requisite training, perform gas tests and requirements as well as station a safety watch at the entry point. All of these steps must be in place before any work within the confined space can proceed.

When energizing mechanical or electrical systems (including both temporary and permanent installations) do not perform work without a permit controlled isolation procedure. The procedure must establish the control, process and precautions to protect personnel from exposure to stored energy. Follow isolation procedures through permit to work and obtain authorization before removing or disabling any isolation device. Additionally, follow all conditions of construction and/or operations permits as detailed.

Safety devices are provided and intended to protect personnel from injury, emergency response equipment to contain incidents and safe remove personnel from event areas. Anyone who tampers with, alters, removes, bypasses or damages safety devices or emergency response equipment is directly placing others at risk, and is reason for immediate termination and could face prosecution based on event severity

Occasionally, there is a need to erect barriers, flagging and precautions to contain areas of imminent danger, where unauthorized access creates a significant risk. Examples include guards around open holes, red flagging around controlled work areas, and radiation placards around testing operations. USA DeBusk has zero tolerance for any disregard of safety barriers.

Occasionally, there is a need to modify scaffolding and/or work platforms to meet the requirements of correct access. Execute ALL modifications using trained, qualified, and competent scaffold personnel assigned to that specific task.
