Plumbing-Specific

9 Written Programs — Built for Plumbing Work

Plumbing's unique hazards — confined spaces, excavation, chemical exposure — require programs that generic templates never address. TradePack covers every one.

✓ Confined Space Entry Program — OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146
✓ Excavation & Trenching Safety Program — OSHA 1926.650
✓ Hazard Communication / SDS Management (HazCom)
✓ Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) — Plumbing Systems Isolation
✓ Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program
✓ Fall Protection Program (Elevated Pipe Work)
✓ Ladder Safety — OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1053
✓ Respiratory Protection (Solvent Cement, Mold, H₂S)
✓ Incident Reporting & OSHA 300 Log Management

All programs are generated with your company name, license number, and plumbing-specific language. Not left blank for you to fill in.

GC Prequalification

What GCs Require from Every Plumbing Sub

Confined space entry and excavation programs are hard requirements on most commercial plumbing scopes involving underground work. Missing either one gets you disqualified before a GC reads your bid number.

Plumbing Compliance Questions

Does TradePack generate a confined space entry program for plumbing? +
Yes — and this is one of the most commonly missing documents for plumbing subs bidding commercial work. TradePack generates a written confined space entry program per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 that covers permit-required confined spaces, atmospheric testing requirements, attendant and entrant duties, and rescue procedures. If you do any work in manholes, crawlspaces, or large pipe chases, you need this.
My scope is all above-ground — do I still need excavation and trenching? +
If you never do underground work, we skip excavation and trenching programs. When you describe your scope during setup, TradePack only generates programs applicable to work you actually perform — you won't pay for programs you don't need or hand GCs a document that contradicts your actual scope.
Do I need a HazCom program just for pipe cement and primer? +
Yes. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) applies whenever employees are exposed to hazardous chemicals — and pipe cement, primer, and soldering flux all qualify. Your written HazCom program needs to address SDS management, labeling, and employee training. TradePack generates this with plumbing-specific chemical examples already written in.
What if I do both commercial new construction and service/maintenance? +
TradePack generates a blended program that covers both 29 CFR 1926 (construction) and 29 CFR 1910 (general industry) as applicable to your scope. When you describe your work types, we include the relevant programs and language for each.
