FAST FRIDAY - Customizing carbon monoxide alerts to be sent to the right person at each threat level is a no brainer for many of the most advanced contractors. Just ask Hoar Construction, Turner Construction Company, DPR Construction, Clark Construction Group to start. Often in conjunction with insurance providers like AXA XL, contractors not only have a chance of lowering their own risk to workers and OSHA fines, but they may also earn a lower risk profile and possibly lower rates. Every provider is different. Here's how most PILLAR users set up their sites. Custom alerts are set up to go to the right people at each threat level so that the big big boss is not getting TXTs about CO levels that are not a major threat. Those lower threats are for the crew chief and then the site supervisor, and then the big big boss if necessary. Check it out: 1. Set a CO alert to be sent via TXT at just 25ppm for the crew chief 2. If you want to lower your risk profile then offer this bit of TRANSPARENCY to your insurance provider: Set an alert for 50ppm for 6 hours, and then again for 50ppm for 7 hours to demonstrate that you addressed the first alert within that hour. Have these go to the supervisor in the event that the source is not localized. 3. Set an alert at 50ppm for 8 hours which is the first level OSHA warning. 4. Set two more at 125ppm and 150ppm for the OSHA notification level and OSHA max limit respectively. Unfortunately, the big boss might need to know about these ones.
