A site guide. A short guide. Pictures. Plain English.

  • Emergency response procedure on Page 2 and in back.
  • Risk assessments demystified.
  • Risk mitigation techniques explained.

New CIRIA Guidance

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Be prepared:

  • Include UXO on hazard registers and;
  • Establish an appropriate emergency response procedure.

Be diligent:

  • Assess UXO risk on all your projects.
  • Develop a UXO risk assessment protocol/policy.
  • Involve UXO specialists when the risk is high.
  • Interrogate reports – advice should be plainly stated.
