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 information contained within records (quantitative, qualitative, spatial etc.), the systems for the creation and maintenance of records (filing, categorisation, storage, amendment, destruction etc.) and systems for recording information about the record (origins, purpose, links to other records, prioritisation).
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.
Details of the consultation process for producing this guidance can be found on the SAFEGROUNDS website.
The project is funded by the NDA along with a contribution from Defence Estates
