Jonstar invited to a Health and Safety (SHAD) event
On one of our current sites where Jonstar are installing over 300kWp of Solar PV across four new industrial units in Market Harborough, we were invited to a morning Health and Safety (SHAD) event run by the Principal Contractor, Britcon (UK) Limited. This was a free event to demonstrate, and practice emergency rescuing at height scenarios and involved the site contractors, UKWS, the Fire Service and Britcon. The site was non-operational during the event showing the commitment of Britcon to Health and Safety in the construction industry while the teams on site could benefit from some time to see how operatives are protected by collective measures such as netting under roofs and in an emergency rescued using scissor lifts, cherry pickers and ultimately if necessary the Fire Service. There was also a mobile training centre with a virtual reality simulator for operating MEWPS courtesy of Nationwide Platforms.
