EXCAVATION SAFETY

“It’ll only take a minute”

 

This short video clip shows how quickly an unsupported excavation can collapse. Construction News will this week include an opinion piece by Philip Poynter on excavators and excavations. The article highlights the significant potential for harm during groundworks and some of the H&S challenges faced by construction industry managers, specialists and regulators wishing to make further progress. The article will be reproduced on the PPCS website early in 2009.
