Onsite Survey [Hazard Characterization]

The purpose of a pre entry onsite survey is to verify potential hazards and supplement data from the confined space characterization. The characterization will be used to develop a Site Specific Rescue Plan for confined space entry that addresses the work tasks (steps) to be accomplished, the tools, process chemicals and products (if applicable), and prescribes the procedures to protect the health and safety of the entry team and rescue responders.  Detail may be obtained from Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) provided to SAFETRAN by the host client.

Site characterization in three phases:

1. Prior to site entry, conduct offsite characterization: gather information away from the site and conduct reconnaissance from the site perimeter.
2. Next, conduct onsite surveys. During this phase, SAFETRAN will restrict site entry to reconnaissance personnel only.
3. Once the site has been cleared (determined) safe for commencement of other activities, ongoing air monitoring and observation will provide a continuous source of information about site conditions.  Additional fees apply to site characterization and technical consulting to your project.
