“We think the benefits SkillGuard offers utility companies and their supply chains are hugely worthwhile.”

“One of our biggest challenges is ensuring that each one of our thousands of contractors who work across different sites and different employers has the right competencies and that those competencies are up to date.

With SkillGuard for Utilities, we can pre-check everyone ahead of arriving on site, and we can also spot-check anyone at any time, which is especially useful in the event of an incident.

Our safety improvements have been dramatic over the last eight years because of it. We've reduced our lost time injury frequency rate down to industry-leading standards.”
