SAFETY PERMITS/PROCEDURES:
Safe-PASS Municipal Safety includes Special Safety Permits and Procedures ("SAMPLE FORMS").

These safety measures should be considered any time construction or maintenance work involves:
- Administration Buildings.
- City garage and storage areas
- Potable Water Storage and/or Pumping.
- Potable Water Treatment and/or Distribution.
- Waste Water Treatment Facilities.
- Storm / Waste Water Collection and Lift Stations.
- Streets and highway maintenance
- Parks, Forestry and/or Grounds keeping.
