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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
