This afternoon, the Survey Association ( www.tsa-uk.org.uk) unveiled a new video guide to using their groundbreaking Essential Guide to Utility Surveys.
The association thought that to often, local communities, companies and the environment receive the impact and fallout from poorly prepared utility surveys. Today, The Survey Association take another step forward in supporting the survey industry, from practitioners to commissioners, in planning the best utility survey possible.
The Survey Association President, Graham Mills, comments:“The Survey Association has spent over 18 months with our industry partners to produce a best practice guide for utility surveys. We undertook a wide-ranging consultation not only throughout the sector but also with the Health and Safety Executive, insurers and academics.
The guide is essential reading for anyone responsible for excavations with regard to Site Management, Health & Safety, Design & Planning or Facilities Management.
It's designed to inform both the people commissioning utility surveys and practitioners seeking to deliver high quality and appropriate surveys.”
The Essential Guide now comes with multimedia support, in the form of a summary video. The video is available to view on The Survey Association website, and will shortly be seeded across multiple online sites, and social media pages relevant to the Essential Guide.
The Survey Association is keen to hear from any online source which feels they could benefit from embedding the video on their site for their own users to digest.
Mark Prisk MP, Business and Enterprise Minister. "I am pleased to see that The Survey Association has produced this document which is not only written in plain and concise English but which will also become a vital source of information for all those concerned with the UK’s construction industry. Clients and contractors alike will find the Utility Guidance note a usefuldocument when both commissioning a utility survey and when considering health & safety issues."
