Working Groups
JAG(UK) collaborates with Street Works UK on a range of industry focused subjects through various National HAUC working groups. Each group has a JAG(UK) lead and members. These people represent the interests of the whole JAG community. Terms of reference detail the scope of each group's activities which can include implementation of new regulations, changes to Codes Of Practice or producing advice notes and guidance.
HAUC(UK) Working groups
Choose from the dropdown below to see the various HAUC(UK) working groups
HAUC(UK) Inspections
The Working Group looks into all aspects of the Inspections Code of Practice. The present Group was convened in 2005 to revise the 2nd Edition of the CoP to remove anomalies and discrepancies and to include the Network Management Duty, s74 and Permit Inspections. The revised code is presently shelved and the Working Group has been tasked by HAUC(UK) to provide guidance on the anomalies within the "defects not causing danger" section of the Code. (Note: Scotland has a separate Inspections procedure.)
HAUC(UK) Communications
The purpose of this group is to ensure that relevant messages are sent out to the community, helping with the writing of the HAUC(UK) newsletter, keeping members up to date about changes and the like. The group ensures that the JAG(UK) is represented at all events/roadshows.
HAUC(UK) Conference

HAUC(UK) SROH
The group aims to help regulate and promote best practice within the industry and seeks to ensure that reinstatement meets national standards in terms of performance and safety as outlined in the specification/Code of Practice.
The Specification is a Code of Practice outlines a national standard applicable to all Undertakers when carrying out reinstatement as a part of executing street works. Broadly, the Specification and its appendices prescribe materials that may be used, the expected standards of workmanship and performance standards to be complied with at both interim and permanent reinstatement stages for the duration of the Guarantee Period. There is a strong focus in the Specification on sustainability by encouraging the first time completion of permanent reinstatements, material recycling and the reuse of materials to minimise the carbon footprint of the reinstatement operation.
