HSG 47 is a guidance document issued by the Health and Safety Executive. It is essential for anyone involved in groundwork, construction, and excavation activities. Compliance with this guidance is critical for the maintenance of a safe work environment and preventing damage to human lives and infrastructure.
The guidance outlines the dangers of accidental striking of underground or buried services, such as gas pipes, electricity cables, telecommunication cables, and water pipes. It further outlines the responsibilities of employees, employers, and those in control of work to identify, manage, and mitigate the risks with excavation activities. Choosing to ignore these critical guidelines means putting your workers and the surrounding neighbourhood at risk during your construction or digging activities.
At Sygma Solutions Ltd., we offer crucial information regarding HSG 47 through our tailored courses. Our courses cover all the details set in the guidance document for ensuring safe working conditions.
The guidance is aimed at all those involved in commissioning, planning, managing and carrying out work on or near buried services, along with the operators and owners of such services.
The guidance applies to situations where buried services might be found and disturbed, including road works, street works, piling, excavation, drilling, site remediation, demolition, site investigation surveys, and so on.
Please know that buried utilities are widespread. So, before digging or engaging in any work penetrating the ground at or below surface level, assume there is a complex network of underground services present unless you have been shown otherwise.
The guidance is broadly divided into four main chapters dealing with the identification and management of underground utilities, planning the work, detecting underground services and marking them, and implementing safe excavation practices.
Equipped with the knowledge in the guidance, you can prevent damage to all types of buried utilities and exercise caution.
Sygma Solutions Ltd. is a reputed provider of HSG 47 training. Our training course covers all the details of the guidance. In addition to equipping you with the knowledge of the guidance, we can also train you in the use of advanced cable avoidance tools and signal generators.
