This pre trenching checklist helps crews plan and verify safe excavation before digging. It guides users to confirm plans and drawings, locate known and unknown services, assess adjacent structures, and identify protected features. It covers barriers, spoil placement setbacks, depth thresholds, safe egress, and selection of protective systems such as trench boxes, shoring, sheet piles, sloping, or stepped excavations. It prompts traffic controls, competent person oversight, inspection frequency, and stop work actions to prevent cave ins and other hazards.
