Abstract
Makes recommendations for and gives guidance on health and safety practices in shaft sinking and tunnelling. Includes guidance on health and safety in the maintenance, renovation and repair of shafts and tunnels. Also contains health and safety recommendations that are also relevant to cut-and cover tunnelling and immersed tube tunnels. The recommendations are not specifically intended to apply to the construction of shafts or tunnels for the purpose of winning minerals.
Document History
Superseded by BS EN 6164:2011. Supersedes BS 6164:1990. This revision of the 1990 standard takes into account advances in technology and equipment now available to the tunnelling industry, as well as recent changes in health and safety and environmental legislation. As a code of practice this standard is for guidance and recommendations and care should be taken to ensure claims of compliability are not misleading.
