For FORVIA, a high-risk operation is a non-standard operation that involves a significant level of danger during its execution. Such as work at height, work with hot materials, cutting, welding, electrical or low-energy work, confined spaces, hazardous materials, among others.
For any high-risk operation, specific work permits are required, and the plant manager
must be informed prior to intervention. For these cases, you must also have the relevant
documentation and permits to carry out the work safely and under the necessary regulations.
• The permit must be issued by the job applicant, reviewed by a competent person, and approved by the Manager or authorized representative of the plant.
• Access to the roof requires approval from the authorized representative of the BG.
• All hazards must be identified; Risks must be assessed, and controls must be implemented.
• Any intervention by a contractor must be covered by a general work permit and a FORVIA representative must periodically verify the correct application of preventive measures.
• The NO Loan Policy applies to everyone: no FORVIA equipment and PPE will be made available to any contractor, supplier, or subcontractor.
• Contractors must follow FORVIA rules and respect the 7 Mandatory Safety Rules.
• The edges of the roof must be secured by means of collective protection, such as railings. When this is not possible or when there is a risk of falling (fragile roof), safety harnesses attached to lifelines and/or anchor points are mandatory.
• Roof access points must be locked, and keys must be maintained by the plant manager or authorized plant representative.
Safety is a collective responsibility, where each of us has a role to play. Let us encourage a safety culture through the correct management of risk
situations inside and outside our facilities.
