<p>In the last 10 years, no people have been killed by buildings collapsing during
subterranean excavation work to increase accommodation. Subterranean excavation to
increase accommodation involves significant health and safety risks, including the
potential for the collapse of both excavated ground and buildings. There have been
two deaths caused by collapsing excavated ground during construction of subterranean
accommodation. The Health and Safety Executive’s construction programme has initiatives
aimed at improving standards in this type of construction work, including targeted
inspection and enforcement campaigns.</p><p><strong></strong></p>
