All excavation and excavation work should be subject to a daily checklist system to ensure that safety requirements are met, including: A documented risk assessment for all excavation work should be conducted based on the results of the site survey. Factors such as excavation time and excavation safety must be taken into account, both during the work and when left unattended. When it comes to digging, a common misconception is how deep the benches or shots should start. On many occasions, the tasks responsible for excavation work have started the benches or blows at a depth of 1.5 metres, which is false for the work in Victoria. Your board may have additional rules that must be followed. Check with your local council about the specific rules that apply in your area. “construction project” means any construction, alteration, repair, dismantling, demolition, structural or routine maintenance, painting, clearing, earthmoving, grading, excavation, excavation, excavation, excavation, drilling, blasting, concreting, installation of machinery or other work considered by the Commission to be a work; Excavation and excavation work can put people at risk of injury from falls from heights. Encapsulation, in which workers are buried as a result of the collapse of trench walls, is also a serious and serious risk that must be controlled. Even shallow excavations can present tripping and falling hazards, although the likelihood of injury from a fall increases with the depth of the excavation or excavation. WorkSafe Victoria – 2019 Excavation Compliance Code: content.api.worksafe.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-02/ISBN-Compliance-code-excavation-2019-12.pdf UCBUs that do not have a contractual relationship can continue to share overlapping tasks, such as when working in the same location. Benching is a method of preventing soil collapse by digging the sides of a construction pit to form one or more horizontal steps with vertical surfaces between levels. For more information, see WorkSafe`s approved Code of Conduct for Operator Protection Structures on Self-Propelled Mobile Mechanical Systems.
(4) The open side of an access road to a construction pit used by mobile devices shall be equipped with a curb. Excavation is generally the removal of soil or rock from a site to form an open frontal surface, hole or cavity, using tools, machinery or explosives. Install sliding rail scaffolding while excavation is progressing. The sliding rail holder is designed in such a way that no gaps remain in the floor after removal. Poles and rail panels can be raised at the same time as the return operation. For more information on trench support boxes, including specific floor and aggregate profiles, refer to AS 47441: Steel Scaffolding and Trench Material. BS EN 13331-1 Trench lining systems. Product Specifications The trailer or skid on which a concrete pump is mounted must be attached to prevent movement during pumping. When a retaining wall is constructed, an open excavation becomes a trench consisting of an excavated area on one side and a retaining wall on the other.
Typically, workers must access this trench to work, for example, to seal the retaining wall. In contact with live power lines, the following must be ensured: 2. Workers supplying or working with materials on a floor, deck, floor opening cover or temporary formwork must be aware of the safe bearing capacity of the surface and the precautions required to avoid overloading. If possible, the digging benches of electrical machinery should be positioned so that the operator is on the opposite side of the bank and the boom is positioned closest to the side of the excavation. M. Maximum distance of 600 mm between the ground and the excavation ground The PSCU should consult with a person competent in the controlled use of explosives to carry out excavation operations before deciding whether explosives should be used for excavation. A report from a qualified person can provide information on the stability and safety of a construction pit. The report should include: 4. All workers involved in grout, tensioning and cutting operations must wear appropriate eye protection. (vii) information on the supports necessary to maintain lateral, lateral and defensive stability, including materials, dimensions and positions of external spacers, strips and other supports; In clauses 20.26.2 to 20.54, “mast” means a fastening or carrying structure, other than a truck or trailer, for a concrete boom. There are three main types of controls to prevent soil collapse. Be sure to use one or more of the following controls to support all sides of the excavation: The employer must ensure that equipment and work processes performed at an air pressure greater than 7 kPa (1 psi) above atmospheric pressure meet the requirements of CSA Standard CAN/CSA Z275.3-M86, Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance for Compressed Air Construction Work, accomplish.

The soil must be above the static water table or have been drained. The delay does not extend below the base of the excavation, so do not use shoring and h-pile delay if there is a risk of soil uplift or water and soil drainage. (1) Concrete must not be pumped through pipes with grooved ends, as is the case with Victaulic fittings. Use edge guards or fences that can support the weight of a worker falling. For a load-bearing tower of more than 200 mm, no foot board is required. (f) requirements for additional reinforcing steels, solid supports or other reinforcements to be used in the joining of plate; When working at an atmospheric pressure greater than 7 kPa (1 psi) above atmospheric pressure, the employer must ensure that workers undergo a medical examination by a physician familiar with hyperbaric medicine, as required by the Board. Self-propelled wheeled pigs can economically excavate and transport very large quantities of material over long distances at a relatively high speed. Due to the high potential performance of the soil and the speed of modern scrapers, you need to be very careful: the speed of an excavation collapse increases the risk associated with this type of work. The consequences are important because falling earth can bury or crush anyone in its path, resulting in death by suffocation or internal crushing. In this Directive, `competent person` means the designer of temporary works, who should be able to assess and manage the risks associated with the depth of excavation and should have a working knowledge of this Directive. A competent person is a person who, through his or her education, qualifications or experience, has acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to perform a task.
Case 2 (trench or pile excavation), the maximum height of the vertical portion, represented by line AB, is 1.2 metres (4 feet).
