Communication Plan: IPS will develop a comprehensive communication plan for each job that takes into account the distinct characteristics of the project and the personnel involved. In cases where a specific communication plan is unnecessary, we will establish the following hierarchy.
Considerations:
Before entry is initiated the following information is to be considered:
» Is there a victim?
» Are the actions to be taken, for a rescue or a recovery?
» Monitor the atmosphere for both current and possibly changing conditions.
» Proper ventilation
» What occurred to cause the entrant to become a victim?
» Develop or initiate a rescue plan to meet the situation prior to start of work.
» Use of a pre-entry briefing to update the rescue plan as needed to overcome any changing conditions or unexpected hazards.
» If conditions change (hazards encountered), in that a rescue crew is no longer equipped properly, return to entry point, re-evaluate, and re-enter when crew is properly equipped or manned.
Disputes:
If a dispute cannot be settled by the Lead person, the following is the chain of command regarding the settlement of issues and is not to be circumvented. Disciplinary action will be taken for not following the chain of command by unauthorized contact. The Lead person or their designee shall make the initial contact.

- Health, Safety, Environmental, Quality & Training Manager

SAFETY ATTENDANTS
SAFETY ATTENDANTS
IPS Safety Attendants receive 12-hours of theoretical classroom training for Confined Space Attendant, Firewatch, PPE, fall protection, Haz-Com and LO/TO. They receive an additional 12-hours of hands-on field training.
All classroom training and hands-on and field training is site-specific oriented and includes customers permits, policies and procedures.
All full-time supervisors are tenured employees and have completed supervisor training, confined space rescue training, permit writer training, customer service training, OSHA 30 and conflict and confrontation resolution training.
- Safety Attendant billing rates are more competitive than “craftsman” billing rates.
- Craftsmen are not tied up performing attendant duties; therefore production is not adversely affected.
- The utilization of IPS Safety Attendants reduces the number of multiple contractor employees by having a centralized pool of trained safety attendant personnel that can be dispatched and assigned to all areas of the project, thus reducing the total man-hour costs of the project.
