In the January 2022 issue of the AGS Magazine, there was an article featured by Julian Lovell and Jon Rayner on the topic of ‘Managing Risk within Ground Investigation (machinery)’.

In relation to this article, the AGS Loss Prevention Working Group would like to bring to readers’ attention the AGS publication ‘Loss Prevention Alert 71: Duty to Warn on a Construction Project – Managing the Risk’. This LPA discusses various situations on site in which a duty to warn has or has not been held to arise where construction operations may cause serious harm to people or significant damage to property.  This duty may arise either as a result of an express term in the contract, or the implied duty to exercise reasonable care and skill and the concurrent duty of care in tort.

LPA 71 can be downloaded from the AGS website here, and the January 2022 AGS magazine here.
