Critical sites. No room for shortcuts.
Mission-critical builds and operations run on heavy contractor volume, tight schedules, and owner requirements that start on day one.
Three situations that start the call.
Owner requirements before mobilization
Owners set their own safety requirements on top of OSHA. Programs, plans, and training records are reviewed before a contractor can start.
Hundreds of workers at once
Large crews from many trades all need orientation, cards, and records, often on a compressed schedule.
Remote sites, long response times
Large campuses are often far from the nearest hospital. When someone goes down, the first minutes depend on who is on site.
Identify. Correct. Educate.
Identify
- Gap analysis
- Site audits and mock inspections
- Fire and life safety assessments
- Lighting surveys
- Noise surveys
- Respirator fit testing
Correct
- Site-specific safety plans and owner requirements
- Contractor safety and high-risk work permits
- Emergency planning and Treo‑EX exercises
- Electrical safety and lockout/tagout programs
- Cooling-water safety and Legionella programs
- Fuel and battery chemical compliance
- Spill prevention and response plans
Educate
- OSHA 10 and 30-Hour
- Site and contractor orientation
- MEWP and forklift operator training
- Medical emergency response teams
- Active assailant preparedness
- Confined space entry and rescue
Exercise scenarios we build for this site.
Scenario 1
Utility power loss and the transfer to generators
Scenario 2
A medical emergency on a remote campus
Scenario 3
Severe weather that cuts off access and staffing
The requirements behind the work.
- 29 CFR 1926 and 1910
- Construction and general industry standards, depending on the phase of work.
- 29 CFR 1910.28 / 1926.501
- Fall protection starts at 4 feet in general industry and 6 feet in construction. Many owners of live sites set one 4-foot rule for everyone, because operations and construction crews work side by side.
- 29 CFR 1910.151 / 1926.50
- First aid and medical services when a hospital is not in near proximity.
- 29 CFR 1910.147
- Control of hazardous energy, lockout/tagout, during servicing and maintenance in general industry. Electrical work also falls under 29 CFR 1910.333, and construction-phase work under Part 1926.
- 29 CFR 1910.38
- Emergency action plans where an OSHA standard requires one.
- Owner requirements
- Site rules, orientation, and documentation set by the owner, on top of OSHA.
- Emergency generator air rules
- Federal engine standards and state permits set run-hour limits, testing records, and fuel records for every generator.
- 40 CFR 370, Tier II
- Sulfuric acid in lead-acid UPS batteries and diesel fuel in storage often cross the reporting thresholds.
- 40 CFR 112, SPCC
- Sites with more than 1,320 gallons of aboveground oil storage need a spill prevention plan. Smaller qualified facilities can self-certify. Larger sites need a Professional Engineer's certification.
- Exposure limits
- OSHA limits, with the NIOSH recommendation reported where it's stricter. Common exposures here include diesel exhaust and carbon monoxide during generator testing, noise in generator and mechanical spaces, and refrigerants.
- 29 CFR 1910.146 / 1926 Subpart AA
- Utility vaults, manholes, fuel tanks, and pits are often permit-required confined spaces, covered by 29 CFR 1910.146 in operations and Subpart AA in construction.
- ISO 45001, 14001, and 9001
- Not law, but often a contract requirement. Owners ask contractors and suppliers to show a certified or aligned management system.
Tenet recommends a consistent four-foot fall-protection threshold across mixed operations and construction sites, while addressing task-specific requirements and hazards.
What you walk away with.
- Site-specific plans built to the owner's requirements
- Orientation and training records for every worker
- OSHA Outreach cards
- An emergency response team with roles, equipment, and exercises
- Audit findings with owners and dates
- Exercises come with the exercise plan, an after-action report, and an improvement plan with owners and dates
