Before anyone steps over the edge

Every box gets ticked before the rope goes over.

Premier works at height every day, on glass towers, hospital campuses and stone facades. The crew lead walks the same list before every drop, whatever the size of the job. Full OSHA, ANSI I-14 and IWCA compliance applies on every project, and the technicians who do the work are our own in-house union employees, never subcontractors.

The roof-top checklist

Five checks, none of them optional.

Questions about any of it? The FAQs cover insurance, weather and certified anchors, or call (267) 534-5198.

  1. Check 01

    Who is on the rope

    Our technicians are IWCA-certified rope access professionals. Training starts on day one and is renewed every year: fall protection, rope handling and rigging, aerial lift operation, first aid and emergency response.

  2. Check 02

    What they are hanging from

    Harnesses and PPE, ropes and lifelines, descent control devices, mobile platforms and swing stages are each inspected and documented before the crew uses them.

  3. Check 03

    What is underneath

    Ground-level barricades and signage go up so the sidewalk stays clear, and protective padding and guards cover the facade where the lines run.

  4. Check 04

    What to do if it goes wrong

    Rescue equipment is on site and a trained rescue lead is assigned to the job. Radios and check-ins keep the roof, the ropes and the ground talking to each other.

  5. Check 05

    What is written down

    Written safety manuals are available on request, incidents are tracked, the crews meet regularly on safety, and dedicated safety leadership owns the program.

The weather call

The glass can wait. The crew comes home.

Work is suspended whenever conditions turn, and rescheduled promptly. A late clean is an inconvenience. A drop in the wrong weather is not something we trade for a schedule.

  • High winds
  • Thunderstorms and lightning
  • Icy conditions
  • Poor visibility

Premier Building Anchors

“We will never perform work without properly inspected and certified building anchors.”

Every year

Anchors must be visually inspected annually.

Every 10 years

Anchors must be load tested, or sooner after structural or roof changes.

Anchors and windows, one call.

Our sister company, Premier Building Anchors, handles anchor inspection, testing and certification, so a building owner can book both.
