Abstract

Reclamation and regeneration of past and current industrial and urban areas inevitably has led to the need to develop land which has been contaminated either by previous usage or by its proximity to a polluting process or operation. The early recognition of any potential contamination and the subsequent management and implementation of safe working systems and methods is necessary to protect human health and safety of those on-site, neighbouring communities and visitors to the site.
