Additional Comments:
IPUC inspector Perkins observed Das-Co a contractor for IGC install 1/4" services in Nampa, Idaho.
To address: 232 Elmore Ave. Observations included: Welding, hot Tapping, coating removal,
wrapping, safety equipment, trenching, bedding, backfilling, line-locating, fusing, stab fittings,
tracer-wire, 1200 EFV install,pressure testing and purging. Quizzed employees on purging and
cooling times after fusing.
Not all procedures were observed in compliance with IGCs Operations and Maintenance Manual.
Upon arriving at the job site, I observed a crew saw cutting the asphalt and they did not have the
required PPE on. After talking with the foreman, it was discovered that the JSA had not been
completed prior to work starting. I stopped all work and contacted Das-Co leadership and informed
them of the observed situation. Das-Co safety personnel arrived on-site and took control of the job.
