What are Safe Working Procedures?
Electrical Safe Working Procedures (SWP) cover a broad spectrum of health and safety policy documents, rules and practices. They help individuals or organisations work safely and set the parameters for colleagues or employees to also work safely with electricity.
Features & Benefits of Safe Working Procedures
- Help prevent injury through safe working practice
- Demonstrate safe systems of work to the enforcing authorities (HSE and Environmental Health)
- Satisfy the requirements of insurance company risk management units
- Send a clear signal to managers, employees and contractors that electrical safety is taken seriously
- Can provide a means of defense in criminal and civil courts
- Maintain acceptable work, quality and safety standards
We conduct on-site studies of working practices to identify existing regulatory compliance gaps, assess risk and provide a bespoke 'safe system of work' framework for organisations to follow.
We provide bespoke documentation applicable to specific site conditions. Organisations often require electrical risk assessments to be undertaken or a system established for key members of staff to complete themselves, both of which we can support them with.

Do I Need Safe Working Procedures?
To identify your company's safe working procedure requirements, it is important to ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I know the risks arising from our activities?
- Do I know how to eliminate, control or reduce them?
- How do I communicate the above information to my staff?
- How do I know they are complying with those measures?
If an organisation is heavily reliant upon electrical operations, they must ensure there are procedures and systems in place for continual maintenance.
The more serious the risk, the more important the safe working practices.

"As a Business Manager for Siemens Service I have been very impressed with Connaught from our original discussions through to the draft code of practice and course delivery. The team at Connaught were superb and very thorough in their analysis of our exact requirements. I thought the course was enjoyable and informative, with the number of people attending pitched just right. The presentation and analysis of current legislation was well delivered. The attention to detail and quality of the draft Code of Practice provided was excellent."
