This checklist shall be completed and posted on site by the excavation competent person. Inspections shall be performed before
workers are initially allowed to enter the excavation, after a change in site conditions (e.g., rain storm, groundwater, sidewall
deterioration or adjacent ground fissuring) and daily for excavations greater than 2.4 m (8 ft) deep. At the end of the workday, this
checklist shall be given to the contractor’s safety supervisor for review and filing. The contractor’s safety supervisor shall
maintain a consolidated list of all excavations and conduct random inspections of excavations during the course of the workday.
All of Saudi Aramco’s safety requirements shall be complied with at all times. The excavation competent person shall be
knowledgeable of Saudi Aramco’s safety requirements and have the necessary training and experience to ensure the work is
performed safely.
Has a Pre-Excavation Checklist been completed prior to digging?
Have all relevant departments been notified prior to digging?
Are underground utilities, cables and pipelines located and marked prior to digging?
Is a work permit required, issued and available on site?
Is a Confined Space Entry Permit required, issued and available on site?
Is gas testing required and performed; e.g., excavations deeper than 1.2 m (4 ft)?
Is a Stand-by Man and/or Fire Watch required and available on site?
Are pedestrian crossovers required and provided (with guardrails)?
Is access to plant/process equipment maintained?
If excavation is near a roadway are flagmen with bright orange vests present?
Is the shoring/sloping/benching acceptable to prevent sidewall cave-in?
Is shoring material in sound condition and free of damage/defects?
Is shoring installed/maintained by qualified personnel?
Are adequate ladders provided within a travel distance of 7.5 m (25 ft)?
Are ladders properly secured and do they extend 1 m (3 ft) above the surface?
Is the excavation free of tension cracks or other evidence of sidewall failure?
Is the excavation free of water, hydrocarbons, or other toxic substances?
Are materials and spoils set back at least 0.6 m (2 ft) from the excavation’s edge?
Are underground utilities and piping located, marked and protected from damage?
Are pedestrian barricades/lights placed at least 1 m (3 ft) from excavation’s edge?
Are hard barricades for vehicles placed at least 2 m (6.5 ft) from excavation’s edge?
Are cranes not closer than the depth of excavation to the edge of the excavation?
Are scaffolds erected no closer than 1.5 times the depth of excavation from its edge?
Are overall conditions acceptable and safe for work?
All deficiencies will be corrected immediately.
