6.3.1 Excavation Permit or Permit to Dig

A Permit to Dig or an Excavation permit is required before any digging, excavation or trenching can take place. It is important that you know the location of utility services in the work area.

The services that could be damaged during excavation work include:

• gas

• water

• electricity

• communications

• sewage

• drainage.

An authorised person will be appointed to be responsible for the excavation. They will ensure that the requirements of the permit are complied with during the work.

If you damage any services, immediately notify your supervisor or the person responsible for the job.

6.4 SignageA sign displays a distinct message about how to protect personnel from exposure to hazards. A sign displaying a safety message carries the same authority as a direct instruction from your supervisor. Failure to obey a sign can result in disciplinary action, injury or death.

9.3 Locating Underground ServicesInformation provided by service providers and other sources is compiled on a site service plan. The plan does not indicate the precise location and depth of the buried cables or pipes, but is a guide to locating the services on the ground.

Locate underground services following these steps.

1. Contact all concerned parties, for example service providers.

2. Determine the location of the buried services on the ground using the available information and mark with survey pegs.

3. Dig potholes to determine the exact location, alignment, depth and grade of the services.

4. Mark out the exact location of the underground services.

5. Based on this information, mark the excavation zone and determine the equipment required for the excavation or other job.

9.3.1 Contact Site Owners and Service Providers

The address and contact numbers of all concerned parties should be obtained during the information gathering process. Contact site land owners by telephone or in writing before excavating on the land. Provide information on the following:

• scope of the project

• estimated environmental or other disturbances

• operations schedule

• contact numbers.

Service providers may require that one of their employees is available during the exposure of their service conduits to monitor or give advice on excavation procedures and shoring requirements. Contact service providers in writing or by telephone as soon as the excavation schedule is known to give them enough time to respond accordingly.

10.5.1 Marking Out an Excavation Site

Consult the plan and drawings at the site to determine where the excavation should be marked out. Mark the boundaries of the excavation clearly using standard survey pegs, pins or tape.

Construction Site Pegs and Markers

Pegs and markers are used to indicate proposed construction area work and ensure that construction qualityrequirementsaremet,suchasdimensions,tolerancesandtechnicalspecifications.

• Markers are placed by engineers and surveyors, who identify locations using site drawings and survey equipment.

• Surveyors refer to a bench mark, which is a wooden or steel pin that is tied into a grid that indicates location and elevation.

• Survey and other reference control pegs are marked with information relating to the construction activity.

• Construction site survey pegs are coloured white, with a red top for easy visibility and identification.

• Instructions, chainage and other measurements are written on the pegs.

Excavation Offset Pegs

Excavation offset pegs are used where nearby construction activity may disturb the excavation pegs or markers. In this case, there are two ways of marking out the excavation area.

A. Offset pegs 5 metres to one side of the excavation at half metre intervals.

B. Offset pegs at regular intervals 100mm away from the excavation and joined by a string line.

10.5.2 Depth and Grade

Maintainthecorrectgradeinanexcavationsuchasatrenchtoensurecorrectwaterflow.

• If pipes are to be laid, keep the grade uniform along the entire length of the pipeline to prevent ponding at the pipe joints.

• The trench depth determines whether support and stabilisation are required to minimise the risk of collapse.

• A trench deeper than 1.5 metres deep will require support/stabilisation but this may vary depending on the nature of the soil.

• Thestabilisationmethodwilldeterminetheprofileofthetrench.

11.2 Access and EgressA safe means of access and egress must be provided at all times when personnel are working in a trench or excavation.

• If ladders are used, they:

- must not be spaced more than nine metres apart

- should extend at least one metre above the top of the excavation.• Gangways and walkways are required for access across a trench or excavation.

• Toe boards and guard rails must be supplied if the drop is more than two metres.

A ladder, stairway or ramp must be used for personnel access to a trench excavation deeper than 1 metre. Ladders, stairways or ramps must not be positioned less than 30 metres apart. Personnel must not gain access to, or leave, a trench by climbing over shoring.

11.3 Excavation Support MethodsTrenches and other excavations deeper than 1.5 metres require the implementation of collapse control measures. Collapse control measures may have to be installed in shallower excavations in poor ground conditions. A major hazard when working in or around pits and trenches is the possibility of collapse, causing engulfment and injury or death due to suffocation.

Follow these general guidelines to minimise the risks associated with pit or trench collapse.

• Shore up the excavation.

• Keep spoil and materials a minimum of 1.5m from the edge of the excavation.

• Chock pipes or other underground structures with wedges.

• Isolate upstream and downstream water sources.

• Monitor the site constantly.

You must know the principal methods to control the risk of collapse, so that you can ensure your personal safety as you work, especially if you are working in a deep trench. The material to be excavatedinfluencesthetypeoftrenchsupportsystemselected.

There are three principal methods to control the risk of collapse:

• shoring

• benching

• battering.

Terms and AcronymsThe following are terms commonly used on some sites. Space is provided over the page for you to add terms and acronyms common to your site.

Term Meaning

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

A risk management process that focuses on job tasks to identify potential hazards, assess risks and determine suitable controls to manage risks.

A JSA:

• must be completed before a high risk task commences

• is a written record that could be used in a court of law if a serious incident occurs in the workplace

• must be signed off by all parties who have responsibility for the work to be performed under the JSA.

Also called a Job Step Analysis (JSA), Job Safety and Environment Analysis (JSEA) or Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).

Permits Permits are required for certain jobs that have high risk potential. Some permits used on work sites include Hot Work Permit, Permit to Dig/Penetrate,ConfinedSpaceandWorkatHeightsPermits.

Site Procedures Site procedures are documented ways of working to achieve an acceptable level of risk. A procedure can be a Standard Work Procedure (SWP), Safe Work Instruction (SWI) or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Procedures are a legal requirement and outline the workplace method and processes for carrying out tasks safely and in an environmentally sustainable way. Procedures are developed after consultation with workers and are monitored and amended as required. Procedures contain detailed information such as:

• a description of the task

• a list of tools and equipment required

• informationonidentifiedhazardsassociatedwiththetask

• risk controls, including training requirements

• sequentialstepstoperformthetasksafelyandefficiently

• references to applicable workplace health and safety acts, regulations and policies.

Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS)

A SWMS documents a process for identifying and controlling health and safety hazards and risks. A SWMS must be prepared for all high-risk activities and contains detailed information such as:

• the type of high risk work to be performed

• associated hazards and risks

• risk management controls to be put in place

• how the risk controls will be implemented, monitored and reviewed.
