Shirley Parsons improved safety performance and reduced electrical risk for a leading data centre developer with projects in Germany, Switzerland, Norway, and the USA.
A leading data centre developer with projects in Germany, Switzerland, Norway, and the USA faced significant challenges in managing health and safety (H&S) across its diverse portfolio. The complexity of maintaining consistent safety standards across multiple international sites was further complicated by the high-risk nature of the electrical work involved.
The client needed a reliable partner to supply high-calibre H&S representatives on a managed service basis and to assist with the senior direct hires essential for their projects’ success.
Shirley Parsons partnered with the client to provide dedicated H&S representatives for each project location. These professionals were carefully selected for their expertise in the data centre sector and their ability to adapt to different regulatory environments across Europe and the USA. In addition to providing on-the-ground H&S support, we assisted the client in making key senior hires who would oversee safety initiatives at a strategic level.
Recognizing the critical importance of electrical safety, we also collaborated closely with the client to implement a comprehensive electrical safety program. This included developing tailored safety protocols and conducting specialized training to mitigate the significant risks associated with electrical installations in high-tech data centres.
The client was highly satisfied with the quality and adaptability of the H&S talent provided by Shirley Parsons. Our managed service approach ensured that each site was consistently supported by professionals who understood the local challenges and regulatory requirements. The senior hires we facilitated contributed to a stronger leadership team capable of driving safety performance across all project locations.
Moreover, the successful implementation of the electrical safety program significantly reduced the risk of incidents related to electrical hazards, a critical concern for the client. This partnership not only helped the client meet their immediate safety needs but also positioned Shirley Parsons as a trusted partner for their ongoing safety and staffing requirements across multiple regions.
