This pre-excavation safety checklist helps teams plan and control excavation work on construction sites. It guides competent persons through soil analysis and classification, selection and inspection of protective systems such as shoring, shielding, sloping, or benching, and verification of utility locates and traffic control. It covers PPE, access and egress, hazard controls, and daily inspections, with fields for site details and sign-off by the competent person and site supervisor.
