Permit-required confined space, hot work, and H₂S atmospheres do not forgive a thin safety bench. On Site Medical & Safety supplies the credentialed HSE technicians, safety supervisors, hole watch, fire watch, and rescue teams that keep Houston, Texas plants, terminals, and construction sites working, backed by the same clinical governance that runs our medical programs.
Most safety staffing is bought under time pressure. A job cannot start until hole watch is posted, fire watch is assigned, or a rescue team is on standby. On Site supplies those positions with people who are actually credentialed for them, and because we also run the medical side, the rescue plan and the treatment plan are the same plan, written by the same people.
Credentialed safety personnel embedded on Houston-area plants, terminals, and construction sites. Running permits, audits, toolbox talks, and the daily discipline that keeps a program from drifting.
Dedicated fire watch for welding, cutting, and grinding in and around process units, posted for the duration and the required watch period after. Not reassigned the moment the torch goes out.
Trained attendants for permit-required confined space entries, maintaining entrant accountability, atmospheric monitoring, and the communication line that makes a rescue possible at all.
Confined space and high-angle rescue teams on standby, trained and equipped for timely response as 1910.146 requires, paired with medics who can treat what comes out of the space.
H₂S safety technicians, gas detection, air monitoring, and SCBA support for sour service, midstream facilities, and process areas where the atmosphere is the primary hazard.
The medical evaluation and fit testing that has to happen before anyone wears a respirator, run alongside the safety coverage so it doesn't get chased down separately after the fact.
Site emergency response plans, evacuation routing, medical escalation pathways, and drills that end with a revised plan.
Incident, near-miss, audit finding, and coverage reporting consolidated with the medical side, so leading and lagging indicators land in one review.
Confined-space rescue is the clearest example of why splitting safety and medical across two vendors is a bad idea. OSHA 1910.146 requires a rescue service that is trained, equipped, and capable of timely response, and the minutes after an extraction belong to a medic. When the rescue team and the medic work for the same organization, under the same physician oversight and the same standing orders, the handoff happens inside one team.
Across the Houston metro, On Site supplies HSE personnel for Ship Channel plants, terminals, midstream facilities, and industrial construction sites. People credentialed for the specific scope, verified before they arrive at the gate, and documented well enough to satisfy an ISNetworld or Avetta review. We have run this since 1998 in places where nobody else was coming.
Learn more about usPermit-required confined space falls under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146, including the requirement for a rescue service capable of timely response. Hot work and fire watch obligations sit in 1910.252. Emergency response and hazardous-waste operations fall under 1910.120 HAZWOPER. Respiratory protection under 1910.134 governs who may wear what, and requires medical evaluation and fit testing first. Every person we place is credentialed against the scope they are filling, with the file retrievable when a client audits it.
A certification lapses. A fit test expires. Nobody notices until an auditor pulls the file. HealthLink tracks the credentials, the medical clearances, and the coverage assignments together, so the gap surfaces while it is still a scheduling problem.
Hole watch is boring right up until it isn't, and the people who do it well are the ones who stay sharp through the boring part. We're hiring HSE technicians, safety supervisors, fire watch, and rescue team members across the metro who take the position seriously when nobody's watching. If that's you, get in touch.
Send us which positions you need filled, the credentials your site or client requires, and when the work starts. We'll come back with who we can place, what they're credentialed for, and how the medical response integrates behind them.
