Contractor Safety
Contractors are responsible for managing the risks
associated with carrying out work near overhead electricity wires and
underground cables. These
responsibilities are described in detail in the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2006.
The Construction Regulations also require that
a Construction Skills Certification
Scheme (CSCS) card is held by any person involved in locating
underground services.
See the Health and Safety Authority website for more detailed
information.
