Safety Measures in Underground Infrastructure Projects: A Comprehensive Guide

Safety is crucial in underground projects, as poor planning can lead to accidents, environmental harm, and big costs. At Arahant Land & Construction, we strictly follow Swedish safety standards to ensure a safe and efficient work environment.

Key Safety Guidelines

  1. Site Surveys and Risk Assessment
    • Conducting geotechnical studies and identifying underground utilities before excavation helps prevent accidental damage.
    • Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate existing pipelines and electrical cables.
  2. Use of Protective Equipment
    • All workers are equipped with helmets, gloves, safety boots, and high-visibility clothing.
    • Regular safety drills and training sessions are conducted to ensure workers are prepared for emergencies.
  3. Compliance with Swedish Standards
    • Adhering to the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) guidelines ensures workplace safety.
    • Ensuring proper documentation and approval from local authorities before starting any excavation project.
  4. Emergency Preparedness
    • Establishing fire safety measures, first aid stations, and emergency response teams at work sites.
    • Implementing real-time monitoring systems to detect gas leaks or hazardous conditions.

Arahant Land & Construction commits to safe, efficient, and compliant underground infrastructure projects in Sweden by adhering to these essential protocols.
