Emergency Response Test day for Balfour Beatty. How would your employees cope?

In 2009, Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions - one of the UK's leading utility solutions providers, commissioned Premier to design and implement an evaluation of their rescue procedures in a real, live situation. The main objectives included testing the quality of emergency procedures and the evaluation of job roles on site, from maintenance staff to project managers.

Premier designed a full evaluation program by analysing the current training methods, work permits and method statements. Professional actors were used for the first aid situations and a film crew were present to capture the events of this bespoke package, which was tailored to meet the precise needs of everyone involved.

The training package was regarded as a huge success, and Premier won a very high recommendation for future work. Mark Kelly, Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions Training Manager said "As one of the UK's leading utility solutions providers, Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions operates across a variety of environments and puts the well being and safety of our workforce at the centre of everything we do.

In line with our company's ZERO HARM objective we want to ensure that we alleviate risk and ensure that our employees are fully trained to deal with an emergency situation. We felt that Premier was best placed to deliver this project and their expertise would help us to maintain our first class training programme."

Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions takes it commitments to the Health & Safety of its employees seriously. Since the filming of the following footage the company has made it mandatory for safety eye wear to be worn at all sites.
