21/03/2023
Applus+ is a global company with a footprint in over 70 countries, employing in the region of 25,000 people. With that in mind, the company philosophy is to create relationships with its clients to ensure that, by working closely with them, they partner in meeting their targets and objectives, thus securing a long-term presence in maintaining their assets. 
With that ethos in mind, Applus+ UK is proud to have achieved 1.5 million operational hours without a lost time accident on the EDF Energy nuclear contract.
For over nine years, Applus+ UK has worked on EDF Energy sites without a lost time accident or incident, totalling 1.5 million operational hours thus far. This is a fantastic achievement and one that Applus+ UK and its client EDF Energy can both be proud of, partnering in the well-being of all personnel under the companies’ umbrellas.
Applus+ UK recently received the prestigious RoSPA Patron’s Award in recognition of its safety achievements, of which the safe delivery on the EDF Energy contract plays a large part.
Applus+ UK has been responsible for the safe and efficient delivery of manual NDT inspection services on all eight of EDF Energy’s nuclear power stations in the UK, during normal operation and periodic maintenance outages since January 2013. All work has been carried out without a lost time accident or incident, which is testament to the company’s ethics and values in supporting and encouraging safe working from senior management to technician level. At times the work has been challenging, but the drive for safety and quality comes first, with no job so important that it cannot be carried out in a safe manner and to the required quality levels.
