This audit checklist helps teams plan and control work near overhead and underground services. It covers DBYD enquiries, validating plans by potholing, identifying private services, and understanding no-go and design envelope clearances around electricity and pipelines. It guides risk assessment, emergency planning, confined space and trenching compliance, and notification/permits for councils and road authorities. The checklist includes controls for spotters, JSAs, equipment earthing and mats, communications for emergency response, plant and equipment documentation, blasting notifications, and reporting any asset damage. Designed for contractors and utilities to protect critical assets and keep crews safe.
