risk assessments for on-ground services !!!

[pward]

Good morning all

I have a bit of a problem, within my generic risk assessment it covers overhead utilities and underground utilities, but can't find any thing about the utilities that lay on the ground, nothing on the HSE website, about services that just lay on the ground level, i am very aware they shouldn't really be there (I'm dealing with gas and telephone cables) but they are and need to make amendments to my risk assessments for this situation, any advice or help is welcome

many thanks all

Either, address them on a site specific basis, i.e. site specific risk assessment, if infrequent, or produce a new generic risk assessment if frequent following a similar format to your existing ones.
