time come for someone to dig a hole or start excavating for trenches for substructure,
the need for its inclusion in this plan cannot be over-emphasized.
The most obvious examples of buried services are those used to carry water, electricity,
telecommunications and gas. The same is true of drains and sewers.

13.2 Locating and Identifying Buried Services

Before any digging takes place, checks will be carried out in conjunction with public
utility officials. The checks will be carried out in order to identify the existence or
otherwise of services in the proposed work area. Any services found would be clearly
marked on the site layout drawing and the route physically identified on ground with
red paint.

reassurance, try to diagnose what injuries have been sustained.
iv. Give immediate treatment after making sure there are no further dangers
(collapsing structure, fire etc).
v. In case there are immediate dangers, deal with them to reduce or eliminate
further accident. This may require the removal or deliberate demolition of the
permanent structure.
vi. Move the casualty to the safest minimum distance before giving first aid
treatment.
vii. All efforts must be made to ensure that the casualty is breathing properly and
thereafter place him in recovery position, if he/she is unconscious or likely to
