Use this excavations inspection checklist to assess excavation and trench work on construction sites. Verify safe access and egress, rigid guardrails and barricades, spoil placement distances, valid service clearances, and use of side benches, battering, or trench shields for deeper excavations. Check that fumes are controlled, SWMS are in place, lighting and reflective markings are used on roadways, barricades are maintained, and correct PPE is worn. Include prestart checks, operator competency verification, and sign-off for accountability and compliance.
