Independent WTSR & Safe Systems of Work Assurance
A structured Safe Systems of Work audit against the Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSR), published by RenewableUK, and the Wind Turbine Safety System Rules (WTSSR), in two parts: a review of the management systems that oversee and support your SSoW, and workplace inspections that test how those systems are applied on site.
Every requirement is checked against a set of verification questions and backed by documented evidence. Each finding is categorised by severity, discussed with you, and given an agreed corrective action and close-out date that is tracked to completion.
