This VECA Excavation Audit template helps field teams assess trenching and excavation safety on site. Verify utility locates before digging, confirm a trained competent person is supervising, and identify soil type for correct sloping or shoring. Check that ladders or ramps provide safe egress, determine if the space is confined, and document recent four gas meter calibration when air monitoring is required. Ensure materials and equipment are set back from the edge to prevent collapse hazards. Use this checklist to standardize inspections and improve compliance across projects.
