This British Standard makes recommendations for and gives guidance on health and safety practices in shaft sinking and tunnel construction.
The standard includes health and safety recommendations that are also relevant to cut-and-cover tunnelling, immersed tube tunnels and other forms of underground construction as well as to the maintenance, renovation and repair of shafts and tunnels. The recommendations are not intended to apply to the construction of shafts or tunnels for the purpose of mineral extraction.
NOTE 1 The design, manufacture and use of plant and machinery are referred to only where safety considerations are affected. Various European Standards relating to the design of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are currently under revision.
NOTE 2 Current legislation relating to occupational health and safety can be found at www.hse.gov.uk.
