Control the active work zone

Identify launch or lift areas, exclusion zones, hose routes, pedestrians, vehicles, entrances, tenants, guests, spotters, signage, and the person who can pause work when conditions change.

Match the method to the building

The plan should identify whether the work uses ground equipment, a lift, rope or suspended access, poles, hand detail, or drone-assisted wetting and rinsing, along with the limits of each method.

Set weather and closeout rules

Define wind, lightning, precipitation, visibility, surface, and water conditions that trigger a pause or reschedule. Closeout should include the completed scope, remaining conditions, photos, and any follow-up referral.

Apply the Guidance

Turn the question into a site plan.

Surface, access, traffic, weather, water, drainage, and the required finish determine the right next step for the building.
