Use this excavation and site safety checklist to assess readiness before groundworks. Confirm operatives understand the task and nearby hazards, verify permits and correct RAMS revision, and complete excavation, plant, and vehicle checks. Record LOLER inspections and certificates, review temporary works designs and COSHH assessments, and ensure first aid, PPE, spill control, and HAVS registers are in place. Check access and egress, edge protection, excavation support or stepping, ladder security, exclusion zones, harness use, and welfare conditions.
