The Comprehensive Baseline Survey
The baseline survey should include a review of the following:
- Copies of written inspections and surveys by fire department and in-house as required by safety and health standards (e.g., overhead crane inspections, powered industrial truck daily inspection, etc.).
- Employee report of hazards or potential hazards.
A baseline survey helps the company understand current issues.
- Accident and incident investigations with corrective actions and follow-up.
- Injury and illness trend analysis.
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) assessment.
- Ergonomic analysis.
- Specific identification of confined spaces.
- Identification of energy sources for specific machines.
As part of the wellsite analysis process, the employer/general contractor should also require subcontractors to perform a baseline analysis. The subcontractors should share pertinent information obtained in their baseline analysis with the general contractor, and/or other subcontractors.
