GS6 assessments that help you work safely near overhead power lines.
Our GS6 assessments give you clear guidance for planning and risk control, so your team can work with confidence and reduce the chance of serious incidents and stoppages.
- Clear assessment of overhead line risks and safe working zones
- Practical outputs you can use in planning, briefings and RAMS
- Consultation first, so the assessment matches the work you’re doing
This is for you if you’re…
- A Project Manager, Site Manager, Pre-Construction Manager, or H&S lead
- Working on sites where cranes, MEWPs, tipper wagons, scaffolding, piling rigs, or plant operate near overhead lines
- Responsible for keeping works moving without putting people at risk
Common pain points
- You’re not 100% sure what clearance you’ve got, and you don’t want assumptions
- You need something clear to brief operatives and subcontractors with
- You want to avoid last-minute changes, shutdowns, or programme delays
- You need a partner who communicates clearly and doesn’t overcomplicate it
Our Approach
Practical risk control, not paperwork
Profind Surveys starts with a consultation to understand your site, your plant, and your work plan — then we produce a GS6 assessment that supports safe decisions on the ground.
How we deliver GS6 assessments
01
Scoping call (scope of works, plant, access, overhead line locations)
02
Site visit and review (identify risks and working constraints)
03
Assessment and clear recommendations (safe zones, controls, practical next steps)
04
Deliverables issued so you can use them in briefings and planning
05
Support if scope changes (we’ll help you update, not leave you stuck)
