A Guide for Safe Working on Contaminated Sites

Safe working practices on projects must be paramount as even apparently clean, safe sites may have been contaminated at some stage in the past, leaving a legacy of pollution which can affect the health of site workers, occupiers, neighbours, and adjacent land and groundwater resources both during and after redevelopment. Produced as part of CIRIA's research programme on the remedial treatment of contaminated land, this guide is intended for use by a wide readership - everyone from the general engineer to the contaminated land specialist.
