Every year in the UK, more than one million excavations take place. The risks to employees carrying out this work can be high. Delays stemming from excavations can impact utility companies’ service, potentially hampering projects and damaging reputation. It is compulsory to obtain plans regarding all underground services. Additionally, owners and operators must be consulted. Therefore, employees and subcontractors must have access to the most up-to-date utility asset records.

The HSE has published a document (HSG47) about safe digging. https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/hsg47.pdf
