Document Summary

This document serves as an Excavations Permit template, detailing procedures and controls for safe excavation work. It includes sections for recording permit numbers, risk assessment numbers, and the start and end times of the permit. The description of work outlines the scope, with specific requirements for identifying and marking underground services, including electricity, gas, water, and telecommunications.

Environmental and site risks, such as heritage sites, vegetation, and adjacent structures, are assessed and controlled. Measures to prevent cave-ins or collapses, such as trench shoring, benching, and battering, are specified. The permit also mandates daily inspections, barricades for trenches over 1 meter deep, and the proper placement of excavated materials. Sign-on/sign-off records ensure accountability, while post-completion reviews facilitate continuous improvement for similar tasks.
