This permit to dig and break ground checklist helps construction teams manage excavation safety and compliance before any groundworks begin. Use it to record task details, identify hazards, confirm RAMS, specify plant and support methods, ensure safe access and egress, locate and protect underground and overhead services, and verify CAT and Genny checks by trained personnel. The template guides briefings, marking of services, insulated hand tools, photos before backfilling, and supervisor authorizations. Capture drawings and site images, maintain daily inspections by a competent person, and close out with confirmation that works are completed and areas made safe.
