Safety and certifications

Dorsalys makes the safety of its teams and installations an absolute priority. It is a key focus throughout every project stage and relies on a proactive risk training policy.

Safety when installing overhead lines

Security

Pylons falling, cables breaking, risks associated with handling objects near power lines, site machinery digging through underground cables – these events are rare but can have tragic consequences.

That’s why Dorsalys does everything possible to prevent them.

Our safety focus runs through every stage of your projects, from the engineering and design stages to operating lines and carrying out operational maintenance.

It begins with our human resources policy, which requires that line workers receive extensive training on the risks linked to their work and that they are able to verify equipment safety.

This strategy, which has been in place for more than ten years, has borne fruit as all Dorsalys employees are now trained in electrical and mechanical risks.

HVB substation installation safety

certified

As with our overhead line projects, all of our staff involved in the installation of HVB substations are made aware of and given training on the risks specific to these sites, including electrical, mechanical and chemical risks as well as the risks of falls from height.

Our technicians, who are OHSAS 18001-certified, are able to identify areas of non-compliance that are risk factors and implement appropriate corrective or preventative measures.
