Use this pre-trenching checklist to plan and verify safe excavation work. It covers utility locating and CAT scan checks, visual and manual soil testing, classification, and drainage. Confirm barriers, spoil placement, access and egress, and select protective systems such as trench boxes, shoring, sheet piling, sloping, or stepped excavations. Document inspections, competent supervision, traffic controls, and permit considerations before starting and throughout the work.
