Health And Safety
Health and Safety ensures a safe environment by preventing accidents and managing risks.
At Square System Ltd, safety is our top priority. We are committed to ensuring the well-being of every employee by providing comprehensive training and ongoing support to foster confidence and comfort in the workplace. Our team is equipped with the knowledge and skills to adhere to a wide range of safety standards and best practices, including—but not limited to:
Given the nature of our work on towers, our technicians often find themselves working at significant heights, where the risk of a fall is one of the most serious hazards in the industry. At Square System Ltd, we prioritize fall prevention by ensuring that every employee working on towers receives specialized training in both the techniques and equipment necessary to avoid falls and work safely at height
At Square System Ltd, all employees who work on towers are required to complete a Competent Climber certification course. This ensures that our tower climbers are well-versed in essential safety practices, including risk management, pre-climb safety checks, and the proper use of ropes, knots, anchorage equipment, and climbing techniques. Our goal is to equip every climber with the skills and knowledge necessary to work safely and effectively at height.
Typically taken alongside the Competent Climber certification, our Competent Rescue training equips employees with essential rescue techniques, including self-assisted, ground-based, and pick-off rescues. In addition to practical rescue skills, the course covers important medical considerations that may arise during a rescue situation, ensuring that our team is prepared for any emergency.
Our employees frequently work in proximity to Radiofrequency (RF) radiation during tower builds, maintenance, and repairs. At Square System Ltd, we prioritize safety by ensuring that our team is fully aware of the potential risks associated with RF radiation. We provide training on how to identify radiation hazards and the necessary precautions to take, ensuring that our employees can work safely while minimizing exposure
Erecting a tower requires expertise in safe and proper rigging techniques. At Square System Ltd, our technicians are trained in the essential safety factors of rigging hardware, hitches, and installation procedures. They also learn to assess load limits and conduct thorough hazard assessments to ensure that all rigging operations adhere to strict safety guidelines.
At Square System Ltd, cranes and slings are essential tools for many of our projects. Employees who work with these equipment are required to have a thorough understanding of best practices for their operation. This includes the ability to accurately conduct load estimates and calculations, as well as performing regular safety inspections to ensure that all equipment is in safe working condition.
The proper installation and use of gin poles is crucial for safe tower erection, particularly when placing antennas at the top. At Square System Ltd, we ensure that all crews are fully trained in the correct use of gin poles, including safety protocols, to guarantee successful and secure tower construction.
In the event of an incident at work, it's crucial that every employee is prepared to perform an initial assessment and provide treatment for minor injuries, or take steps to prevent injuries from worsening until professional medical help can be obtained. At Square System Ltd, we are committed to ensuring that all employees have a foundational level of first aid competence to protect themselves and their colleagues in emergency situations.
Every job site is unique, which is why our crews are trained to identify potential hazards specific to each site. These hazards are documented and addressed during daily tailgate talks. We conduct thorough job site analyses and review proper work procedures on a daily basis to ensure everyone is aligned on safety expectations.
Our trucks and crews are always fully stocked with industry-leading personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as complete high-angle rescue kits and equipment, should the need arise.
At Square System Ltd, we continuously review and update our health and safety program, ensuring that our policies and procedures are well understood and strictly followed. Our commitment to safety not only provides confidence to our employees but also instills trust in our customers.
