Electrical Duty Holder Support

Strategic advice and legal support for facility directors, ensuring site operations fully comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Health & Safety Executive (HSE) directives.

STATUTORY COMPLIANCE & RISK

ELIMINATE LIABILITY WITH CERTIFIED SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Operating high-voltage electrical networks without appropriately trained and appointed personnel creates severe safety risks, operational liabilities, and direct breaches of statutory legislation. Many site owners lack in-house, fully certified SAP engineers to execute safe isolations or oversee specialist contractor works.

MET Group supplies experienced, fully vetted Senior Authorised Persons and Authorised Persons to manage switching, issue formal safety documentation, and maintain complete compliance—allowing you to execute intrusive maintenance safely without holding permanent HV operational overheads.
