Ensure implementation of the Permit to Work (PTW) system for all excavation and trenching activities.
Verify underground utility clearance by coordinating with engineering and utility departments to identify existing electrical cables, gas pipelines, water lines, sewer lines, and communication cables before excavation.
Inspect excavation areas daily to ensure soil stability and recommend appropriate protective systems such as sloping, benching, shoring, or trench boxes.
Monitor deep excavations and trenches to prevent cave-ins, ground collapse, flooding, and other excavation-related hazards.
Ensure protected access and egress using ladders, ramps,



or stairways in all excavation work areas.
Verify proper barricading, warning signage, lighting, edge protection, and traffic management around excavation zones.
Supervise the secure operation of excavators, backhoe loaders, cranes, dumpers, and other earthmoving equipment.
Ensure spoil materials, equipment, and heavy vehicles are maintained at a safe distance from excavation edges.
Monitor atmospheric testing and ventilation where excavations may contain hazardous gases or oxygen-deficient conditions.
Coordinate with civil, mechanical, electrical, utility, and contractor teams to ensure safe planning and execution of excavation activities.
Conduct daily toolbox talks and safety briefings on excavation hazards, trench safety, emergency procedures, and secure work practices.
