Statutory basis, cited on the form

Guidance and standards relied on

These are not law. HSE guidance carries no statutory force in itself, British Standards and NASC technical guidance are industry documents, and the Joint Code of Practice is an insurers' code. They are what the document is built to — and where a court would look for the standard of the reasonable contractor.

  • HSG47 (3rd edition, 2014)
  • BS 6031:2009 (earthworks)
  • BS 8004:2015 (foundations)
  • BS EN 13670:2009 (execution of concrete structures)
  • BS 8500-1:2023 and BS 8500-2:2023 (specifying concrete
  • BS EN 1610:2015 (construction and testing of drains and sewers)

What it is not
