To help you introduce and maintain best practice in your projects, we can provide a number of options for auditing and review of your existing systems. Our approach starts with a field audit of your teams’ activities to determine where your existing procedural requirements are being met and where there is room for improvement.

Information retrieved from the field audits is then be used during a desktop review of procedures, permits and utility damage reports to ensure simplicity and comprehensiveness. This is also an opportunity to remove any conflicting information from your work instructions and procedures.

Once these procedural reviews are completed, Staking U can assist in creating toolbox training sessions which will allow your staff and contractors to fully understand their obligations, requirements and permit systems.
