In any onshore build or construction site, temporary or mobile, it is the responsibility of the client to ensure the health, safety and working environment for the workers. Inadequate coordination lead to a large number of occupational accidents as many activities are ongoing concurrently. Byggherreforskriften, the Construction Client Regulations order no 599 describes the responsibiliites of the client throughout the construction process, in order to ensure the safety, health and working environment of the construction site.
SHA/HSE needs to be carried out throughout the project to ensure that the right activities are carried out at the right time. Each phase has its own specific needs for the organisation. Proper timing ensures that the right level of safety can be achieved, and that costs are kept low. Proper planning, a good organisation, and follow up of the work ensures the safety of the workers.
We can help you ensure the safety of the workers, by helping you plan, execute and follow up all HSE activities from project ideation through to finished build. Our practical approach ensures the safety of your workers, that you follow rules and regulations, and that the HSE activities are carried out smoothly and efficiently.
