Preparing Exterior Space for All Seasons and Circumstances
Prioritizing safety in facility services means creating detailed plans for day-to-day maintenance as well as preparing for the unexpected—inside and outside of your facility. Maintaining the exterior spaces of your property, including walkways, roadways, exterior stairs, and parking areas, is critical to the safety of everyone accessing your facilities.
Our safety teams often visit customer sites to conduct expert Job Safety Analyze (JSA) to ensure that handrails on elevated platforms (loading docks and garage areas) are present and up to code.
A Comprehensive Approach
From our custodial and landscaping teams to our mobile operations and maintenance emergency response team to our plumbing and electrical expertise, UG2 has the depth of experience to fully manage and prepare your facilities through the critical lens of safety.
Our groundskeeping teams maintain your roads and parking lots to the highest standard, staying ahead of cracks and potholes as well as maintaining high visibility striping and directional signs. They deftly and thoroughly handle fleet maintenance, roof repairs and seasonal cleanup. They protect your facility against flooding and prepare it for storms. Handrails and guardrails are expertly installed and maintained, and every walkway, entry area, parking lot and rooftop is continuously checked and kept clear of dangerous debris, clutter, and other potential hazards.
Our operations and maintenance experts keep your facility’s masonry in top shape, and work in tandem with our electrical engineers to ensure lighting conditions are optimal and every bulb is in working order, always. And our emergency mobile maintenance crews are available 24/7 with the equipment and expertise to immediately solve any unanticipated problems that arise.
Fleet services and maintenance are services that we take great pride in at UG2. With our ability to track your vehicles in real time, monitoring speeding, harsh braking and excess idling, we are able to provide your company with peace of mind knowing that your vehicles are being operated safely and efficiently.
Detailed Safety Plans
UG2 takes a proactive approach to minimizing risk by leveraging our deep bench of safety planning expertise. Our comprehensive safety plans are tailored to your facility, including all exterior spaces, with an emphasis on transparency, communication, and accountability. Our plans incorporate preparedness for everyday occurrences as well as less predictable events and occurrences that impact safety across every square foot of your property.
Our teams are trained to excel at safety, and they understand that routine safety checks and audits are essential, and that practicing and refining every aspect of a safety plan — including backup plans and contingencies — is at the heart of ensuring it is effective. Our safety plans also consist of daily safety briefings. These briefings focus on upcoming tasks and the hazard they may present.
