All of our operational staff are provided with high-level training, selected according to the levels of risk they are managing. Some of this training is conducted in house, and some by external agencies, and areas covered include driving safety, electrical safety, HSE incident investigation and general health and safety.

Lightsource bp is certified to ISO 45001 which is an International Standard for Occupational Health and Safety.

Throughout the construction process, the carefully selected EPC contractor building the project systematically identifies all applicable Health and Safety risks for the project. They then put a safety plan in place, which is implemented by competent and trained workforce and supervisors. A similar process applies during the operation and maintenance of our solar farms.

Solar is a passive technology, with few moving parts and waste products, and so is an inherently low risk proposition. However, like any industrial or electrical project, there are a range of potential dangers, from vehicles and mobile equipment to electrical exposure, alongside general risks such as extreme weather, slips trips and falls etc. We take care to mitigate as much risk as possible during solar farm construction and operation, through stringent training and safety protocols.
