Balfour Beatty to host work at height day

Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions is organising a one day conference later this month to discuss safe working at height practices for overhead lines, primarily focussing on wood pole operations.

Entitled ‘Rise to Power’ The event has arisen following confusion in the industry and on the part of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) over the safest and most practical ways of working on wood pole based overhead cables.

The event will include a number of speakers along with the presentation of a number of different solutions for working on overhead lines. Speakers will be drawn from the HSE, CE Electric and Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions.

The event, which will be held at CE Electric’s Kepler training school in Durham on April 23rd and 24th will also include a significant discussion time, with the aim to have a sound exchange of ideas and views on the subject to help formulate best practice solutions.

If you are responsible for work on pole based overhead lines, or have a vested interest in the subject and would like to attend and add to this event then please contact Debbie Oakland as soon as possible on 0114 2329700 or email her on [email protected].
