WORK SCOPE

An increased awareness of Health and safety law in the workplace led to discussions of how to protect employees against the falling hazard. SG was subsequently commissioned to provide safe systems to the cliffs and paths of Fair Isle. Working with delicate substrates to create anchors in predetermined locations was challenging, and complex expedition logistics were required to enable the smooth progress of works in this very remote location.
