FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
The SAFEGROUNDS Learning Network – a network managed by CIRIA – is inviting all stakeholders to participate in a major project to revise its existing 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. From the start of autumn 2006 until the end of spring 2008 SAFEGROUNDS will be revising all its existing guidance documents and adding some new ones.
Stakeholder consultation is a vital part of the production of all SAFEGROUNDS documents because the network’s guidance, as far as possible, incorporates consensus views. Stakeholders have been invited to comment on a plan for, and then participate in, the production of a number of guidance documents.
To participate visit www.safegrounds.com/sep_intro.htm or contact Jo Facer at The SAFEGROUNDS Learning Network, c/o CIRIA, Classic House, 174-180 Old Street, London EC1V 9BP; Tel: 020 7549 3300; Email: enquiries@safegrounds.com.
