System Design, Annual Inspections, and Recertifications
Exterior Building Maintenance (EBM) systems are essential for the upkeep and safety of high-rise buildings, but they also pose significant risks if not properly maintained. To ensure that EBM systems are inspected and operated safely, building owners must partner with approved SIT (Scaffold Inspection and Testing) Agencies. These agencies certify and oversee the inspection of EBM equipment and creating Operating Procedures Outline Sheets (OPOS), which are crucial for maintaining compliance with safety regulations. By working with SIT Agencies like Diversified Fall Protection, building owners can ensure that their EBM systems are managed by qualified experts, minimizing the risk of accidents and regulatory violations. This partnership is not only a legal requirement but also a proactive step towards ensuring the safety and integrity of exterior building maintenance operations.
EBM System Design and Installation
EBM systems in California must meet the rigorous standards set by Cal/OSHA Title 8, Section 3291, which governs the use of suspended scaffolds, platforms, and fall protection systems. Our expert team works with building owners and facility managers to design and install customized solutions, including permanent anchor points, davit arms, and rope descent systems (RDS), that provide secure access to building exteriors. We ensure all systems are engineered for safety and compliance, offering peace of mind that workers and their equipment are protected during routine maintenance.
EBM Annual Inspections
To ensure continued compliance and safety, Cal/OSHA requires annual inspections of all EBM systems, including anchor points, lifelines, and suspended platforms. At Diversified Fall Protection, we provide comprehensive inspections performed by qualified third-party professionals, as mandated by Title 8, Section 3296. Our inspection services assess wear and tear, corrosion, and structural integrity, ensuring your system remains in optimal condition. We maintain detailed records of each inspection to ensure compliance and make them available upon request from regulatory authorities.
EBM Recertifications
Every five years, Cal/OSHA requires recertification of suspended access systems to confirm their continued ability to meet safety standards. Diversified Fall Protection conducts thorough engineering assessments and testing, ensuring all components can safely support the necessary loads. Recertifications, governed by Title 8, Section 3296, are a vital part of maintaining long-term system safety and usability, and we are here to guide you through the process with our expertise and SIT certification.
