Safety Supervision of Communication Towers
Risk assessment and hazard management are fundamental components in ensuring safety supervision on telecommunications towers. It is not a standard or regulation, and it neither creates new legal obligations nor alters existing obligations created by OSHA standards or the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Occupational safety agencies, such as OSHA in the United States, set the standards for worker safety, particularly. The Competent Person (CP) is designated by the employer to identify existing and predictable hazards that are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees. This individual must have the authority to promptly eliminate hazards. A CP is responsible for site safety inspections, equipment. Watertown, SD — Communication tower workers must cooperate with jobsite safety auditors and implement all recommended corrective actions, a safety resource from NATE: The Communications Tower Infrastructure Association says. NATE recently published a guide that explores auditing procedures and. Tower Construction and Maintenance Contractors This document is advisory in nature and informational in content.
