During the construction and operation of every telecommunications installation, extensive safety audits are undertaken to ensure the health and safety of those in the surrounding area. We also ensure that the individuals carrying out the safety audits have completed the DuPont Safety Audit Training Program.
Due to the importance of safety in relation to all ESB Telecoms Ltd. operations and sites, a set of detailed guidelines have been put in place to ensure all contractors and customers comply with all applicable safety standards.

The contractor Safety Guidelines cover a variety of areas including the following:
