The Safety Working Group’s aims are to promote safety awareness for the geotechnical and geoenvironmental industry.
The Safety Working Group aims to provide guidance and links to relevant documents via this web page.
We produce regular updates throughout the year and all guidance documents are downloadable to make them as accessible as possible.
We aim to provide generic guidance to inform practice – it should be noted that for every site a specific risk assessment must be made to assess the actual site hazards present and how they can be addressed to minimise risks to people and property.
