​With the valued assistance of NRL’s Heysham team we were able to ensure all 166 outage contractors entering site were cleared for access – no mean feat when faced with a global pandemic.

Their continued support ensured that all inductions and safety processes were understood, with excellent communication throughout the statutory outage programme to deliver a smooth onboarding process and relieve some of the pressure normally felt during outages.
