Safety Practice
Safety
Matters
From working with live electricity, high voltage electricity, working at height and in confined spaces - the major infrastructure associated with energy requires robust safety processes, procedures and training backed up with assurance activity to ensure both your staff and the public are safe.​
​
Generally our clients have highly specialised core competencies - development, EV infrastructure operation, investment activity etc.
​
Safety management may not be your core competence. This is where we come in.
Assurance that you are compliant
When it comes to managing the construction of energy assets (substations, civil structures, storage tanks, groundworks) etc. there is a clear allocation of roles and responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act and in particular under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (known as the 'CDM Regs').
From undertaking key CDM roles on your behalf (such as principal designer), to providing assurance that your appointed contractors are fulfilling their obligations, we can advise and provide assurance from design through to operation and maintenance of the assets.
​

-
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015

Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
