Safety with Underground Services

2002

Note: This guide is available in hard copy only

This guide outlines the dangers that can arise from work near underground services and gives advice on how to reduce the risk. It deals principally with risks to health and safety and is not so concerned with damage that has no personal risk.

The guide applies to all situations where underground services may be found and where work is undertaken which involves penetrating the ground at or below surface level.
