SAFEGROUNDS good practice guidance documents

A principal part of the SAFEGROUNDS Learning Network’s activities is the production and dissemination of good practice guidance on all aspects of the management of contaminated land on nuclear and defence sites. The full suite of SAFEGROUNDS guidance documents and information papers are available free to download below. These include the new record keeping document.

From the start of autumn 2006 until the end of spring 2008 SAFEGROUNDS is revising all its existing guidance documents and adding some new ones. For more information click here.

NOTE: Documents bearing the SAFEGROUNDS icon are official SAFEGROUNDS guidance and have been developed through a full stakeholder dialogue process in conjunction with partners of the SAFEGROUNDS Learning Network.
