A Senior Authorised Person (SAP) is responsible for issuing safe working documents, managing isolations and ensuring the HV system is in a safe condition before any work begins. SAP support required to manage HV works safely within the applicable safety management system.
Our SAP attendance covers a range of site types across private and contestable HV network environments:
One of the practical advantages of using R&D Cable Jointing is that our SAP and jointing capability sits within the same team. You do not need to coordinate separate contractors for HV isolation and the jointing works, we can provide both, under one programme, with clear accountability. This simplifies programme management and removes the risk of delays caused by SAP non-attendance.
Our SAP works to the applicable safety management system for the network in question, whether that is DNO-specific Distribution Safety Rules for contestable connections, a private network operator's own safety rules, or a system aligned to the HSE's guidance on Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
