Trusted Support

Our extensive experience in supporting projects across the land domain enables us to provide our clients with a comprehensive understanding of land safety and environmental protection requirements.

 

We specialise in the production and management of safety and environmental assurance documentation for various new equipment and systems. Examples include supporting delivery teams responsible for developing, fielding and sustaining communication equipment used in the joint land environment and deployable radars that enhance military air surveillance and intelligence system capabilities.

 

Our team not only ensures compliance of new equipment and systems with current legislative and regulatory requirements but also collaborates with project and delivery teams to develop Legacy Safety Case Reports for equipment such as the All-Terrain Mobile Platform (ATMP) vehicle and the Multi Launch Rocket System (MLRS). Additionally, we have developed Safety Case Reports for Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR), including the Improved Tented Camp required for overseas deployment.

 

Having led the development of Hazard Logs, Environmental Feature Matrices, Safety & Environmental Case Reports and Safety & Environmental Management Plans in accordance with Defence Safety Authority Regulations, we have a proven track record in supporting Defence Land Projects and Delivery Teams.

How Can We Help?

Safety and Environmental Risk Management

 

Aligned with the Defence Safety Authority requirements, we specialise in developing your system or equipment Hazard Log (managed via tools such as eCassandra) and Environmental Feature Matrix. These serve as central repositories for prioritising and managing identified risks, ensuring continuous operational assurance.

 

Currently, Safeguard Engineering oversees multiple Hazard Logs and Environmental Feature Matrices for our clients, diligently ensuring their compliance with legal obligations and effective management of their safety and environmental risks.

High Hazard Facilities Safety

 

We’ve worked with a number of defence, governmental and commercial organisations to support the effective integration of safety within the design, construction and setting to work of facilities used for a variety of hazardous process and storage activities.

 

In each case, we will work with design teams to establish a bespoke safety management plan, and then undertake hazard identification activities.  Our activities are tailored to reflect the maturity of the design, the complexity of the facility or process, and the risks presented by the design.
