What our Clients and Partners say Matt Surmacz, Ricoh UK, | 2021 "Highly recommend to the local business partnerships" 9.4/ 10 Quality of work on-site 9/ 10 Health and Safety Management 9.2/ 10 Communication and Management of Quality 9/ 10 Overall Customer Experience Excavation Excavations create numerous hazards such as but not limited to: falls from height, potential suffocation, drowning, public safety concerns, damage to utilities and foundations. All excavations are carefully planned and risk assessed and authorised only by permit. Lifting Operations We frequently lift loads onto rooftops in populated areas. While all lifts are carefully planned, they carry inherent risks. Lifting only occurs once a lift plan is approved, personnel competence is verified, equipment meets required standards, and the activity is authorised by permit. Manual handling is also common with PV systems, and improper handling of awkward modules can lead to injury Working at Heights This is a routine activity for Push Power, but familiarity must not lower our standards. Even small falls can have serious consequences, so the safe use of a step-up should be treated with the same care as edge protection on a 20m roof. Key components of safe work at height include detailed RAMS, up-to-date training, and serviceable equipment. Electrical Isolation Electrical isolation is a frequent activity on our sites but focus must never be lost on the potentially lethal consequences of not carrying out isolation procedures correctly. Central to safe isolation is locking switches and tagging them or “lock out tag out”. BACK TO TOP Working With the Best Clients and Partners.
