Case Study 1

Chemical Plant at Sunset

Problem

A stack emission monitoring business were aware of their responsibilities under the Working at Height Regulations to provide a safe means of access when ascending vertical ladders on chimney stacks. In addition, they were concerned about their lack of planning for emergencies and rescue should an incident occur while working on an isolated work platform.

Solution

Following several site visits to establish the scope and extent of their issues our team of highly experienced access specialists were able to identify a suitable, commercially available, temporary personal protection system. Employees were then trained in an appropriate safe system of work which allowed them to move freely on vertical ladders while remaining anchored at all times.

Resulting Changes

The outcome of this project is that the risk of falls has been drastically reduced with a minimal increase in on site work time. In addition the company is now able to promote themselves as one of the safest in the business.

Case Study 2

Extreme Environments in The Arctic

Problem

Geo Mission were planning to organise a scientific expedition to the high Arctic. The needed to locate a research camp on the sea ice with all the associated problems of the extreme climate (-40°C), ice break up, and the possibility of polar bear attack. As well as the scientific personal, the camp would also be the home to visiting inexperienced journalist and film crew receiving their first polar experience.

Solution

Our teams extensive experience of working in extreme environments, such as the cold polar regions, allowed us to take on the role of Base Camp Manager responsible for the health, safety and welfare of all those operating from the science camp. Safety critical tasks included ice and weather observations, maintenance of bear perimeters and defensive weaponry, logistics coordination, essential equipment maintenance, survival training for all camp residents and maintenance of a programme of continuous supervision for those least experienced to the polar environment.

Resulting Changes

The science program was able to proceed successfully without injury or ill-health both that year and in subsequent years.
