Company scope: Demo Company LLC is a Texas general contractor with 300 employees performing commercial and light-industrial new construction and renovation. Projects include steel and concrete frames, formwork, low-slope roofing by company crews, floor and wall openings, footing and utility excavations, and hoist areas. The company crews' leading-edge decking covered by this program is concrete deck formwork; structural steel and metal-deck installation are subcontracted. Demo Company LLC is a private employer in Texas under federal OSHA jurisdiction; no state plan applies to this employer.

Company's chosen method: Carlos Mendoza, Safety Officer and the company's competent person for fall protection, coordinates this program. Priya Shah is the backup contact; Robert Hayes is the owner. Carlos verifies task-specific qualifications before performing a qualified-person function; if his qualifications for that function have not been confirmed, work stays on hold while he arranges a qualified specialist. Record the qualifications supporting each specialist's assignment.

Unprotected sides and edges: Each employee on a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical surface) with an unprotected side or edge which is 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level shall be protected from falling by the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. (29 CFR 1926.501(b)(1)).

Falling through holes, including skylights: Each employee on walking/working surfaces shall be protected from falling through holes (including skylights) more than 6 feet (1.8 m) above lower levels, by personal fall arrest systems, covers, or guardrail systems erected around such holes. (29 CFR 1926.501(b)(4)(i)).

OAR 437-003-1501(1): Except where another standard permits, employees exposed to falls 6 feet or more to a lower level must have fall protection provided, installed, and implemented. Under (2), verify the walking/working surface can safely support employees before allowing work. Under (3), protect against stepping or tripping into holes, including skylights, regardless of height. Under (6), use guardrails or equipment guards to protect employees working less than 6 feet above dangerous equipment.

Company policy: This plan applies to all Demo Company LLC employees performing work on or near rooftops, including:

• All roof surfaces (low-slope and steep-slope)
• Roof edges, eaves, and perimeters
• Skylights and roof openings (see Section 10)
• Roof access points (ladders, hatches)
• Any elevated platform or scaffold adjacent to roof work; assess its specific protection requirements

Warning lines and safety monitoring are limited to roofing work on slopes of 2:12 or less under OAR 437-003-1502 and 437-003-2502. "Roofing work means the hoisting, storage, application, and removal of roofing materials and equipment, including related insulation, sheet metal, and vapor barrier work, but not including the construction of the roof deck and leading edge work." - OAR 437-003-1500(5). Company policy: Safety nets require a separate reviewed procedure.

Company policy: Scope: positioning-device systems are not used under this procedure - Oregon-adopted 1926.502(e); safety monitoring alone is not selected or used under this procedure - OAR 437-003-2502(2).

Company policy: Record the method in the daily briefing; apply residential restrictions below.

Warning line systems must not be used as fall protection on roof slopes greater than 2:12 - OAR 437-003-1502(1).

California carries its own flame and electric-arc duties, and they sit in two different places with two different conditions. This section states both, and does not present a consensus standard as though it were California law.

The eighth condition for energised work is an apparel duty: each employee who is exposed to the hazards of flames or electric arcs wears apparel that, when exposed to flames or electric arcs, does not increase the extent of injury that would be sustained by the employee; and that condition prohibits clothing made from acetate, nylon, polyester and rayon, either alone or in blends, unless the employer can demonstrate that the fabric has been treated with flame retardant (8 CCR § 2320.2). Title 8 requirement

That condition applies wherever work is to be performed on exposed energised parts of equipment or systems, because it is one of the conditions the energised-equipment section states for such work (8 CCR § 2320.2). The subsection names no fabric that must be used and no arc rating; it states an outcome and a prohibition. Demo Company LLC's route to the outcome is to issue arc-rated work shirts and trousers as the standard uniform for energised work, and to prohibit on that work any garment, including base layers, shirts, jackets, rainwear, liners, hoods and high-visibility vests, made wholly or partly of acetate, nylon, polyester or rayon, unless Demo Company LLC can demonstrate that the fabric has been treated with flame retardant (8 CCR § 2320.2(a)(8)); an arc rating alone is not treated as that demonstration. compliance method — chosen by Demo Company LLC

The employer ensures that each employee exposed to hazards from electric arcs wears protective clothing and other protective equipment with an arc rating greater than or equal to the heat energy estimated under the assessment subsection whenever that estimate exceeds 2.0 cal/cm², and that protective equipment covers the employee's entire body, subject to five exceptions (8 CCR § 2320.11). Title 8 requirement

1. Arc-rated protection is not necessary for the employee's hands when the employee is wearing rubber insulating gloves with protectors or, if the estimated incident energy is no more than 14 cal/cm², heavy-duty leather work gloves with a weight of at least 407 gm/m² (12 oz/yd²) (8 CCR § 2320.11).
2. Arc-rated protection is not necessary for the employee's feet when the employee is wearing heavy-duty work shoes or boots (8 CCR § 2320.11).
3. Arc-rated protection is not necessary for the employee's head when the employee is wearing head protection meeting Section 3381 if the estimated incident energy is less than 9 cal/cm² for exposures involving single-phase arcs in open air or 5 cal/cm² for other exposures (8 CCR § 2320.11).
4. The protection for the employee's head may consist of head protection meeting Section 3381 and a faceshield with a minimum arc rating of 8 cal/cm² if the estimated incident-energy exposure is less than 13 cal/cm² for exposures involving single-phase arcs in open air or 9 cal/cm² for other exposures (8 CCR § 2320.11).
5. For exposures involving single phase arcs in open air, the arc rating for the employee's head and face protection may be 4 cal/cm² less than the estimated incident energy (8 CCR § 2320.11).

The dates the section states. The requirement to make reasonable estimates of incident energy commenced October 1, 2018; the requirement to ensure that the outer layer of clothing worn by an employee is flame-resistant when the estimated incident heat energy exceeds 2.0 cal/cm² commenced October 1, 2018; and the requirement to ensure that each employee exposed to hazards from electric arcs wears the required arc-rated protective equipment commenced October 1, 2018 (8 CCR § 2320.11). All three are in force. Title 8 requirement

Company policy. Demo Company LLC does not use exceptions 3, 4 or 5 to reduce head and face protection below a full arc-rated hood on work this section reaches. company rule — beyond Title 8

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) applies to ALL servicing, maintenance, and repair of HVAC and plumbing equipment where the unexpected energization, startup, or release of stored energy could cause injury. This includes:

• Air handling units (AHUs) and fan coil units
• Condensing units and chillers
• Boilers and water heaters
• Pumps (circulating pumps, condensate pumps, sump pumps)
• Cooling towers
• Compressors
• Electrical panels and disconnects serving HVAC/plumbing equipment
• Pressurized refrigerant and water systems
• Steam systems

Work regime: For covered general-industry machinery servicing and maintenance, apply the energy-control requirements of 29 CFR 1910.147(c)–(f) to servicing and maintenance within the scope of 29 CFR 1910.147(a)(1)–(2). General-industry exposure to electrical hazards from work on, near, or with conductors or equipment in electric-utilization installations is governed by Subpart S and excluded from 29 CFR 1910.147 (29 CFR 1910.147(a)(1)(ii)(D)). Company electrical method: Use the direct procedure specified below under 29 CFR 1910.333(b)(2) for work exposing employees to contact with parts of fixed electric equipment or circuits which have been deenergized.

For construction, tag controls to be deactivated (29 CFR 1926.417(a)). Render deenergized equipment/circuits inoperative and attach tags at all points where they can be energized (29 CFR 1926.417(b)). Identify the equipment/circuits plainly on the tags (29 CFR 1926.417(c)).

Company pre-work method: In the Energy Control / LOTO Template - HVAC/Plumbing, record the task regime, equipment, energy sources, applicable procedure and assigned personnel; the supervisor holds work until those facts and controls are verified. The examples below supplement the sequence in Section 8.2 and do not release this hold.

Stored energy sources for HVAC/Plumbing work:

• Electrical energy (voltage in motors, controls, heating elements)
• Refrigerant pressure (high-side and low-side pressure)
• Water pressure (domestic water, chilled water, heating water systems)
• Steam pressure (steam systems, condensate)
• Pneumatic pressure (control air)
• Thermal energy (hot surfaces, boilers, water heaters)
• Gravitational energy (suspended components)

When multiple technicians work on the same equipment:

• Use a lockout hasp — one hasp per isolation point
• Each employee applies their own personal lock to the hasp
• Equipment cannot be re-energized until ALL employees have removed their locks
• One employee is designated LOTO coordinator and is responsible for the overall LOTO permit
• For general-industry group servicing, vest primary responsibility in an authorized employee for the defined group (29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(ii)(A)). Provide for that authorized employee to ascertain each group member's exposure status under the equipment lockout/tagout (29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(ii)(B)). When multiple crews, crafts or departments are involved, assign overall control responsibility to an authorized employee to coordinate affected workers and ensure continuity of protection (29 CFR 1910.147(f)(3)(ii)(C)). Company method: Record the assigned authorized coordinator, group members and individual exposure status on the Energy Control / LOTO Template - HVAC/Plumbing before releasing group work.
