Water Abstraction and
Disposal
Risk Assessments (Water Abstraction and
Disposal)
Prior to an outside broadcast, locations and
events a risk assessment using the BBC risk assessment process must be
undertaken. A record of the risk assessment must be held on
site and mitigation measures implemented as identified before the
event commences.
The following factors must be considered:
- The location of the event and its proximity to controlled waters.
- The volume of water which is going to be abstracted or disposed of.
- Whether the amount requires an abstraction license or discharge consent.
- The adequacy of mitigation techniques and other pollution control measures.
