Gas mains and services are at risk of being damaged by third party interference during construction activities. PSR, regulation 15 requires that no person should cause damage to a pipeline and is aimed at third parties carrying out work around pipelines. HSE publication HSG47 ‘Avoiding danger from underground services’ [2001] gives detailed guidance to contractors on avoiding damage to gas mains and services, including information on detecting underground services and safe digging practices. Further guidance is given in HSE Topic information sheet ‘Avoiding damage to buried services’.
