Strengthening the controls that matter most

Critical risks rarely come from a lack of procedures. More often they come from gaps between what is written down and what happens on the ground, particularly when work changes quickly or crews move between different sites.

Critical Risk Management works alongside your organisation to understand how electrical risks are being managed now, where the weaknesses sit and what practical changes will make the biggest difference.

The approach draws on electricity network experience, so advice reflects how incidents involving the network actually unfold.

How Consulting Can Help

Areas of support that we offer

Critical risk and control reviews

A clear look at where your work interacts with overhead and underground electrical infrastructure, and whether the critical controls in place are effective and being applied consistently.

Safe work planning

Review and improvement of safe work method statements, risk assessments and permit processes for work near powerlines and underground services.

Underground asset and excavation planning

Support for teams that dig, trench or bore, including how service information is requested, interpreted and used before excavation starts.

Site and task observations

A Time on site with your crews to see how plans translate into practice, with practical feedback for supervisors and workers

Emergency response planning

RMaking sure people know what to do, and what not to do, if plant contacts a live line or an underground cable is struck.

Safety presentations and engagement

SElectrical safety sessions for safety days, project inductions, toolbox meetings and leadership forums that help the message land with a workforce.

Advice shaped around the work being done

Every engagement starts with understanding your operations, your sites and the concerns you want addressed.

From there, the scope is agreed with a clear outcome in mind, whether that is a one-off review, updated procedures or ongoing support through a project. Recommendations are written to be practical and usable by the people who will apply them.

“The presentation was outstanding and highlighted the significance of asset locating when working near live services. The session significantly enhanced our team’s understanding of operational risks.”
