This daily excavation inspection checklist helps supervisors verify trenching and excavation controls before work begins. Confirm method statement compliance, utility locates and permits to dig, perimeter fencing, edge protection, signage, and safe access or egress via ladders or walk-through trenches. Check de-watering measures, spoil placement at a safe setback, housekeeping, and whether work can proceed safely. Record required actions and handover details, and attach photos to document site conditions and corrective actions.
