    Changing safety standards in tunnelling


    by Dr Donald Lamont, Chairman BS 6164 revision panel.

    Abstract
    Standards are of immense importance in all branches of construction including tunnelling. They cover topics
    such as safety, design, materials, workmanship and plant. Most standards bodies review their standards
    on a five year cycle after with the revision thereafter taking a number of years to complete. Some standards
    are used not just in the country or region of origin but in countries throughout the world. Within the last two
    years, three of the most important and internationally recognised safety standards in tunnelling have
    undergone revision. The most recent revision of BS 6164 “Health and safety in tunnelling” was published
    in late 2019, whist the revision of EN 16191 “Tunnelling machinery safety” and EN 12110 “Airlock safety”
    remains ongoing. This presentation will cover some of the numerous major changes in these standards.

    Speaker
    Dr Donald Lamont is well-known internationally as a specialist in tunnelling
    health and safety. Formerly with the UK Health and Safety Executive and the
    Channel Tunnel Safety Authority, he has run his own semi-retirement
    consultancy Hyperbaric and Tunnel Safety Ltd for the past 10 years. He has
    chaired the drafting panel for BS 6164 through three revisions of the standard
    and has been associated with ENs 16191 and 12110 for over 30 years,
    currently leading the revision of EN 12110. He was independent hyperbaric
    adviser on the Tuen Mun project in Hong Kong is currently advising on the
    Central Interceptor project in Auckland and the Lower Thames Crossing in
    London. He is a long standing member of the Br Tunnelling Society and its
    Compressed Air Working Group and at present is revising the BTS guidance on work in compressed air.
