Utility Strikes

Please see enclosed safety alerts regarding utility strikes, shared with us by CBRE.

Before carrying out any ground disturbance work (drilling or digging), always complete a ground disturbance check
(Form 24.1.4a), this form will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure you are safe and that you are complying
with customer rules.

CAT scanning with a Genny is required before any ground disturbance. If you are asked to carry out any works that
requires breaking the surface and you don’t have a CAT scanner and Genny, contact your line manager immediately.

However, always remember that even CAT scanning can fail to identify some services, so always be vigilant and proactively
keep a look for signs of services.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has been learned
throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual presentations, a nd some by
reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo
Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters, videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for
us to share health and safety information, please let us know. Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep
you well informed!
