Managing High Voltage (HV) Electrical Risks in the Energy & Utilities Sector
Contractors servicing the energy and utilities sectors frequently operate in environments where high voltage electrical hazards are present, often working in power stations, within substations, on powerlines, and more. Without effective risk management in the selection of these specialised vendors, the hazards inherent in these environments can lead to catastrophic incidents and injuries on site.
Cm3’s dedicated High Voltage Risk Review criteria facilities the consistent evaluation of your vendors capability to manage risks associated with high voltage electrical work. This includes analysis of risk assessments or Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), operator competencies and inspection records.
