UXO Risk Assessments
Preliminary UXO Risk Assessment
The first crucial step in unexploded ordnance (UXO) risk management is identifying whether your worksite is at risk of UXO contamination. In many cases, preliminary UXO risk assessments can be conducted by non-specialist personnel. However, when information is scarce or uncertainty exists, it’s best to enlist a UXO specialist for a thorough assessment. If your site is deemed low-risk, no further action may be needed. Preliminary UXO risk assessments offer a fast, cost-effective solution to protect your project from unforeseen hazards.
For sites where a moderate to high UXO risk is detected, or if UXO is found on-site, it’s vital to commission a detailed UXO risk assessment to ensure the safety and success of your project.
STAGE 1
Detailed UXO Risk Assessment
The second crucial stage in unexploded ordnance (UXO) risk management is conducting a Detailed UXO Risk Assessment. This vital assessment should be undertaken by a seasoned UXO specialist. The specialist will meticulously gather and analyze reliable information to produce a comprehensive report tailored to your worksite and its surroundings. This report will pinpoint potential sources of UXO contamination, deliver an in-depth risk assessment, and, if necessary, propose an effective UXO risk mitigation strategy. Taking this step ensures your project’s safety, compliance, and success.
