8、tandard is published by BSI and came into effect on 31 July 2011. Itwas prepared by Subcommittee B/513/2/2, Drilling, piling and tunnelling, underthe authority of Technical Committee B/513, Construction equipment and plant,and site safety. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be
9、obtained on request to its secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 6164:2001, which is withdrawn.Information about this documentThis British Standard takes into account the advances in technology andequipment that are available to the tunnelling industry. It also takes account ofne
10、w techniques and the effect of changes in legislation and guidance relating tohealth and safety and environmental matters. These changes include TheConstruction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 1 and the guidanceto The Work in Compressed Air Regulations 1996 2. The document is writtenfor all
11、 involved in tunnelling projects and addresses the safety of both thoseengaged in the tunnelling process and those who could be affected by it.The text follows the pattern established by the previous edition of BS 6164.Clauses contain recommendations for and guidance on health and safetypractices in
12、 shaft sinking and tunnelling. However, the text has beensignificantly updated to reflect current and developing best practices.The International System of Units (SI) is followed in this British Standard, withthe exception of the unit used for pressure, which is the bar.NOTE 1 bar = 105N/m2=105Pa.It
13、 has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that theexecution of its provisions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified andcompetent people, for whose use it has been produced.This is a full revision of the standard, which reflects also the current changes inEuropean Standards
14、 relating to tunnelling machinery.As a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of guidance andrecommendations. It should not be quoted as if it were a specification andparticular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are notmisleading.Any user claiming compliance wi
15、th this British Standard is expected to be able tojustify any course of action that deviates from its recommendations.Presentational conventionsThe provisions in this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrecommendations are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliaryve
16、rb is “should”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract. Users are responsible fo
17、r its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.BRITISH STANDARDBS 6164:2011ii BSI 20111 ScopeThis British Standard makes recommendations for and gives guidance on healthand safety practices in shaft sinking and tunnel construction.The standa
18、rd includes health and safety recommendations that are also relevantto cut-and-cover tunnelling, immersed tube tunnels and other forms ofunderground construction as well as to the maintenance, renovation and repairof shafts and tunnels. The recommendations are not intended to apply to theconstructio
19、n of shafts or tunnels for the purpose of mineral extraction.NOTE 1 The design, manufacture and use of plant and machinery are referred toonly where safety considerations are affected. Various European Standards relatingto the design of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are currently under revision.NOTE
