Contaminated soil

Soil can contain substances like lead, oil or benzene. That is why we know what is in the ground before we dig.

Before starting

  • Ask the client for the soil survey.
  • Determine the safety class and record measures in the H&S plan.
  • For higher classes a qualified supervisor is present.

Basic hygiene

  • Wear coated gloves and safety glasses.
  • Prevent dust, for example by working wet.
  • Do not eat or drink in the work area and wash your hands.
