You are invited to review and comment on the third draft of the developing guidance for records and record-keeping. This draft is an advanced full draft of the guidance. The project to produce this is strongly supported by the SAFEGROUNDS steering group and funded by the NDA along with a contribution from Defence Estates. Background information and instructions on how to provide comments are given below.
Members of the SAFEGROUNDS Learning Network have requested that good practice guidance be developed on records and record-keeping for contaminated land and land quality, which addresses the knowledge requirements of nuclear and defence sites and their related stakeholders. In particular members have requested that guidance be developed to address the adequacy of:
The guidance is aimed at organisations responsible for the management of contaminated land, but will also inform other interested stakeholders. It aims to present principles and a recommended approach for contaminated land records and record-keeping that are broadly applicable and that could be used for other types of site and topic areas.
The record-keeping guidance is being developed using the SAFEGROUNDS document consultation process, which sets out the key stages of guidance development and consultation. In line with this process, the development of the record-keeping guidance will be opened up at various stages for steering group and wider consultation through this website. These stages, including detail of who is to be consulted and when, are summarised below:
