Let’s all
PART 5 – CIVILS AND GROUNDWORKS get home safely,
every day
The ground works and civil
engineering environment presents a
unique set of challenges and risks.
From the potential for buried services
and the segregation of large plant,
through to the movement of vehicles.
As part of the project planning these
risks will be considered, included and
controlled within the safe system of
works.
Uncontrollable factors such as
weather and unpredicted ground
conditions can change the
environment we works in and as such,
we must ensure that we understand
the safe system and stop if this cannot
be adhered to.
Excavations present a risk of falls from
height and the ongoing risk of buried
services. Permit systems are in place to
control these and avert the risk.
