-No workers allowed going into the excavation
during mechanical excavation.
- Suitable access & egress to the excavation
should be maintained
- Slope protection should be provided based
on the actual soil conditions
- Where sloping is not applicable a suitable
shoring system to be implemented.
- The removed soil should be kept at least
0.6m away from the excavation edges and not
to be piled more than .9 meter height.
- Ensure that the surrounding weight &
vibration of machinery will not affect the
integrity of the excavation site
- Signs & Hard barrier should be erected all
around .
Low - If the excavation is more than 1.25m deep it
shall be consider a confined space and a C.S
PTW shall be raised. Atmospheric monitoring
shall also be required at depth greater than
