NS174C: Environmental Handbook for Construction and Maintenance

This Network Standard is Ausgrid's environmental handbook for construction and maintenance. 
 

Scope

This Handbook forms part of our Environmental Management System (EMS) and provides guidance for complying with our environmental responsibilities.

This Handbook prescribes the minimum environmental controls for our construction and maintenance activities. Where works cannot meet these
environmental controls, or if advice is required, contact Environmental Services on 02 9394 6659 or environmentalservices@ausgrid.com.au.

This Handbook aims to:

• identify and control environmental risks
• prevent incidents
• improve environmental performance and customer relationships
• reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

All our actions can impact the environment. We need to comply with our legal obligations, reduce our environmental impact and continually improve our performance. Put simply, we all need to use due care, follow procedures such as this Handbook and speak up if something is wrong or could be improved.
