SiGeKo
Safety and Health Coordinator
for Data centers and IT infrastructure
For construction sites where employees of several employers work, Section 3 of the German Construction Site Ordinance requires one or more suitable coordinators. We support clients with safety and health coordination (SiGeKo) during planning and construction. Scope and tasks depend on the individual project.
Your Safety Matters
One of the tasks of the SiGeKo is to identify any health and safety risks on the construction site during the planning phase. In this way, measures for the safety and health of the people working on the construction site can be taken during the planning process.
During the construction phase, the SiGeKo controls the corresponding measures, which are recorded in a safety and health protection plan (SiGe plan).
Data centre and IT infrastructure projects involve project-specific risks. We bring experience from numerous infrastructure projects to safety and health coordination, using practical measures that support the construction programme and protect the trades involved.
The special dangers and challenges in a construction project in connection with Data Centers and IT infrastructure include:
- UPS systems
- Powerful battery systems
- Energy storage systems
- Standby generators
- Electrical switchgears
- Cooling systems
- Fire protection systems
- Perimeter protection
Correctly assessing the systems during the ongoing construction process and considering the safety measures in safety and health integrating a plan is one of our core competencies as an approved SiGeKo.
As a general contractor, we attach great importance to the fact that the principles of risk avoidance are already considered during the planning phase of our construction projects, especially since ensuring proper safeguards during the planning and construction phase can significantly reduce potential harms as well as costs
