Preface

The preparation of this book, which was initially promoted by the UK Health and Safety Executive, has been undertaken in parallel with the development of an EU Standard prEN 16907-7—Earthworks—Part VII: Hydraulic placement of extractive wastes. The principal author, together with members of the drafting and peer review groups, has actively participated in the development of this Standard, which has subsequently been supported both actively and passively by the European mining sector. Thanks to all who have made the development of this book possible. Ashford, Kent, UK August 2017
