This excavation risk assessment template helps teams identify and control hazards during trenching and digging work. Use it to log hazards such as impact with underground services, crushing, falls from height and falling objects, reduced stability of nearby structures, vehicle collisions, hazardous substances in the ground, and access or egress issues. Rate severity and likelihood using a 5x5 risk matrix, then record controls and further actions. The template includes roles for assessor and participants, sign offs, and guidance to improve site safety for construction and civil works.
