Prioritising Safety in Telecoms Street Work Sites: The SQR Group Ltd Strategy

In the telecoms industry, where street works are an essential part of infrastructure development, SQR Group Ltd places paramount importance on site safety. Recognising the unique challenges presented by these projects, such as fluctuating pedestrian traffic near schools and the potential for unsocial behaviour or protests, we are committed to ensuring the welfare of our team, your team and the general public throughout the UK and Northern Ireland.

Our approach begins in the planning phase, where our team diligently identifies potential risks specific to telecoms operations. This proactive strategy encompasses managing pedestrian access, ensuring public safety around our setups, and preparing for any unpredictable elements that may arise during operations. By anticipating these challenges from the outset, we set a foundation for safe and efficient work processes.

Our site inspectors are at the forefront of our safety efforts, armed with the expertise to swiftly identify and address any emerging safety concerns. Their role is pivotal; whether it involves stopping work to mitigate risks or reporting incidents for immediate action, their actions are integral to maintaining a secure work environment. This level of vigilance and responsiveness is crucial in telecoms projects, where the dynamics of street works can quickly change.
