Client organisations must manage health and safety risks that come with underground project construction. When risks are properly prioritised, tenderers should be able to provide resources with their tenders to construct the works safely, and contribute to the overall success of a project. This guideline was developed to help organisations identify, manage, and track safety risks to meet compliance levels.Read more
The guideline was developed by the ITA Working Group to help organisations:
- identify hazards and constraints imposed by the design, construction, operation and maintenance, refurbishment and de-commissioning of underground assets
- ensure that identified health and safety risks are either eliminated or managed in a systematic way
- To implement safety assurance measures with regular and thorough audits that demonstrate compliance with pre-defined risk criteria.
- Demonstrate that residual risk levels for underground health and safety are as low as reasonably practicable.
