Research Report 319 Safer foundations by design

Abstract
In the light of evidence that designers, through lack of information and training, are still failing to exploit the potential they have to eliminate and reduce risks on site, BRE was commissioned to provide simple guidance for designers of groundworks and give feedback to HSE. Through an understanding of foundation design and the hazards that arise from different foundation construction processes, this project has provided methods by which designers can take account of hazards in design. Specifically this project has also provided drafts of TGN (guidance notes) for designers so that they can make management of the risks arising from various ground engineering processes easier.
