For information

This briefing is for all PIA Communications Providers (CPs).

This briefing is to inform all Physical Infrastructure Access (PIA) established CPs about a change in Engineer Principles for CP08 to support safety working practice in industry. 

We’ve published a briefing for customers advising them that due to a change in engineering practices, Openreach will adopt the use of spiked railing covers when working in close proximity on overhead work.

The change will be incorporated in the CP08 Engineering Principles. Available via the Openreach Customer Portal, in the next document update.

This policy change is available under Physical Infrastructure Access (PIA) established CPs from today, 31 August 2022.
