Case Study

Virgin Media O2 - Health and Safety Audit Assurance for Datacentres

Client Overview

Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) is a leading telecommunications company in the UK, providing a wide range of services including broadband, TV, mobile, and landline services.

Project Overview

Pro Safety Management was engaged by VMO2 to conduct independent health and safety assessments of site upgrades and new builds within their datacentres. The objective was to ensure compliance with the Construction Design Management (CDM) regulations and industry standards.

Challenges

VMO2 required assurance that Principal Contractors were fulfilling their duties according to CDM regulations. The audits aimed to provide evidence of compliance, minimise project risks, and empower project managers to hold contractors accountable, specifically within their datacentres.

Solutions

Pro Safety Management conducted comprehensive audits, including:

• Assessing site processes, procedures, and VMO2 standards within the datacentres.

• Performing analysis of datacentre activities against the Construction Phase Plan.

• Evaluating safe systems of work, interviewing key personnel, and conducting on-site observations in the datacentre premises.

• Identifying non-compliance areas and recommending improvements.

Results

The audits provided VMO2 with detailed reports highlighting observational and process risks within their datacentres. Immediate actions were taken to resolve short-term issues, while significant investments were discussed for long-term improvements. The audits ensured VMO2’s compliance with CDM regulations and enhanced overall project safety in their datacentres.
