GSO BS 6164:2011 Scope
This British Standard makes recommendations for and gives guidance on health and safety practices in
shaft sinking and tunnelling. Guidance on health and safety in the maintenance, renovation and repair of
shafts and tunnels is also included.
The standard includes health and safety recommendations that are also relevant to cut-and-cover
tunnelling and immersed tube tunnels. The recommendations are not specifically intended to apply to the
construction of shafts or tunnels for the purpose of winning minerals.
NOTE 1 The design, manufacture and use of plant and machinery are referred to only where safety considerations are affected.
Various European Standards relating to the design of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are currently in preparation.
NOTE 2 A list of current legislation relating to tunnel construction is given in Annex A.
