Safety
Overview
Our comprehensive health and safety management services are based on decades of sector—and technology-specific competence to ensure the safe development, construction, and operation of global clean energy projects. The complex risks involved, across various environments, require robust safety strategies to protect the workforce, communities, and assets. We deliver structured frameworks and operational oversight, allowing clients to maintain regulatory compliance and implement best practices that enhance workplace safety and project efficiency.
Our expertise in design, safety, and risk assessment is essential to the project life cycle, which integrates safety considerations early in project planning, reducing potential hazards before implementation. On-site and operational safety management mitigates hazards through proactive monitoring and risk controls, safeguarding personnel during all project phases. Advisory and client representation services provide tailored guidance, ensuring that organizations meet safety standards in partnership with the client’s project organization. Through audits and inspections, we identify gaps, strengthen risk management practices, and enhance regulatory alignment.
