EXCAVATION SAFETY POCKET CARD

Use this safety inspection pocket card when planning,


constructing, entering, and/or restoring excavations and
trenches over 1.2 m (4 ft) deep or excavations where buried
utilities, pipelines, or cables may be present.
PLANNING
Has a Pre-Excavation Checklist been completed and on site?
Have all relevant departments been notified?
Are utilities, cables, and pipelines located and marked?
Was an excavation plan (calculations and drawing) prepared
by a civil engineer if excavation > 6 m (20 ft) deep?
Has the soil type (see back) been determined by a soil
analysis or by a Competent Person?
Is a Confined Space Entry Permit required and on site?
CONSTRUCTION
Is only excavating/backfilling equipment allowed within 2 m
(6.5 ft) of the excavation and are the following clearances
maintained (unless properly designed shoring is used):
Vehicles/cranes/heavy equipment more than the depth of
excavation away from excavation (2 m [6.5 ft] minimum),
Scaffold posts > 1.5 times the depth of excavation away?
Has one or more of the following methods of protection
against sidewall cave-in been used and has it been done per
the excavation drawing?
Benching
Sloping (see back)
Shoring (including trench shields, etc.)
Are spoil piles placed > 0.6 m (2 ft) away from excavation?
Are pedestrian barricades erected > 1 m (3 ft) away?
Are blinking warning lights installed and used?
Is a documented inspection performed daily by a Competent
Person?
PERSONNEL ENTRY
Do only authorized personnel enter the excavation?
Is any water in the excavation controlled by pumping?
Are gas tests conducted (e.g., low oxygen, toxic gases)?
Is a ladder or other access available within 7.5 m (25 ft) travel
distance (e.g., ladders spaced < 15 m [50 ft] apart)?
Is emergency rescue equipment available?
RESTORATION
Has the work area been restored?
Are the walking surfaces level?

FRONT

SUMMARY OF SOIL TYPES AND


MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE SLOPES
A Competent Person is a person properly trained to
identify existing and potential hazards, soil conditions, and
proper design (i.e., benching, shoring, and sloping).
For sloping when excavation depth < 6 m (20 ft), use the
following maximum allowable sidewall slopes for the type
of soil, where d is the depth of the excavation.
Stable Rock - Natural solid mineral matter that can
be excavated with vertical sides, such as sandstone.

Type A Soil - Previously undisturbed cohesive or


cemented soil, such as clay or marl.

Type B Soil - Less cohesive soil, such as a mix of


sand, rocks, and clay.

Type C Soil - Least cohesive soil. Examples are:


gravel, sand, muddy or freely seeping soils,
submerged rock that is not stable, or a layered
system. Previously disturbed soil is Type C soil.

If a Pre-Excavation Checklist is not on site,
