Safer Sphere was appointed as HSW Advisor NLHPP project by Arup. A complex programme consisting of multiple construction projects with a scope of replacing a 50-year- old existing waste from energy site to a brand new, state of the art, technologically advanced system to serve the 7 boroughs of from the London region.
Our role is to help achieve the client’s ambition of being one of the safest facilities in the world. The number one aim of the project is to achieve the highest standard of health, safety & wellbeing during construction of the NLHPP. Our role as HSW advisor is to advance the Safety First agenda on the project and develop a programme of audits, inductions, site visits, monitoring regimes and engagement activities to engender positive cultural change and ensure there is zero harm to everyone involved in the project and living in the local community.
This facility is based in Edmonton -North London and the development includes a flagship Resource Recovery Facility that will help north London extract materials for recycling to support the drive to reach 50% recycling target in north London. There is also an educational hub on-site, which aims to inform the local community more about the impact their waste has and how to reduce it.
Safer Sphere worked with Arup and the client team to develop a Safety First induction video for all workers, delivery partners and site visitors.
A 50 page HSW manual has been developed to communicate the HSW Standards and Delivery strategy. As well as existing in one easy to access location, the document helps to communicate standards with a highly illustrative graphic format.
Safer Sphere have promoted “Gemba Style” senior leadership tours. This gives senior leadership visibility of the “on-the-ground” situation and promotes the HSW agenda through the highly visible presence of senior leaders collaborating and inspecting with the HSW leadership team.
A HSW Client Performance Improvement forum assembled stakeholders including HS2, Tideway, BT Openreach, Highways England, EDF-Energy, Transport for London, and Crossrail, to provide a stakeholder forum. Given the scale of the project, engaging with stakeholders is key to reducing utility strikes and making sure that project risks do not adversely impact external parties.
The scale of the project and size and diversity fo the project team, has seen real value from a Monthly Programme status Review (MPSR) Reporting. This is where Safer Sphere report on the 18-leading and 10-lagging project KPI’s – as well as providing a qualitive overview of activities and initiatives from the preceding month.
