Paving, Tactiles and Accessible Gradients — Quality Inspection Checklist

Statutory basis, cited on the form

• SHW Series 600 and Series 800 (Specification for Highway Works — earthworks
• unbound sub-base)
• DfT Guidance on the use of tactile paving surfaces (2021 update)

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.
