11.1

General The wastes generated during the demolition operations, which may cause particular health, safety, or environmental threat or concern is known as hazardous waste. These include asbestos containing materials (e.g., floor tile, plumbing insulation, siding and roofing); materials with lead based paint coatings (e.g. siding, walls, furniture, and cabinetry); lighting wastes (e.g., mercury containing lamps, PCB containing ballast); electrical components (e.g. oil containing switches and transformers); and appliances and other equipment (e.g. refrigerators and air conditioning compressors containing refrigerants and oils).

11.2

Asbestos Asbestos is the name for a group of natural minerals that separate into strong and fine fibers of size ranging from 0.1 to 10 micrometer.

11.2.1

These fibers are heat-resistant and extremely durable. Asbestos is used in many applications for its fire resistance, noise insulation and electrical insulation properties and is generally of two forms; friable and no friable:

11.2.2

Friable asbestos It can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to a powder by hand pressure when dry and is the most dangerous form.

11.2.3

It has little structural strength and its fibers are readily released upon breaking.

Page 9 of 64

11.2.4

Common types of asbestos containing materials may include pipe or thermal system insulation, sprayed-on insulation, some wall, ceiling or acoustical plasters some ceiling tiles, thermal protective coating, etc.

11.3 11.3.1

Non-friable asbestos Non-friable materials may become friable during grinding, cutting, burning, crushing, and similar operations during demolition activities and may generate and release asbestos fibers.

11.3.2

Hence non-friable asbestos that is damaged to the extent that it can be crumbled or reduced to a powder by hand pressure when dry must be handled and packed like friable asbestos wastes.

11.3.3

Resilient floor tiles, asphalts, mastics, and transit roof shingles, sliding, and pipe are considered nonfriable forms of asbestos, unless they are damaged during demolishing activities.

11.3.4

Inhalation of asbestos fibers may cause cancer, so most important thing in handling, transporting, or disposing of asbestos is to do so in a way that prevents airborne release of fibers or dust.

11.4 11.4.1

EXCAVATION 5 The basic idea of good engineering practice should be used by all persons involved in any aspect of work related to excavation, including designers, manufacturers, suppliers, employers, contractors, self-employed persons, managers, supervisors, persons in control of workplaces, employees and safety and health representatives to assist them. 12.0 DISCLAIMER

12.0.1

Information in this document is provided to assist the contractor in meeting his contractual obligations and the internationally recognized standards of occupational safety and health.

12.0.2

While information is correct at the time of issuance, contractor should check and verify any legislation that is in force at the time of use.

12.0.3

Changes in law after this document is issued may impact the overall contract. This information is provided as a service to the contractor.

12.0.4

The information and advice provided is made available in good faith and is deemed accurate at the time of issuance.

12.1 Introduction 12.1.1 Excavation is regarded as one of the most hazardous construction operations. Excavation failure occurs very quickly, giving a worker virtually no time to escape, especially if the collapse is extensive and the excavation is a trench. 12.1.2 Normally, a slab of earth collapses off the trench face under its own weight and breaks against the opposite wall of the excavation, burying and crushing any person in its path. This can result in death by suffocation or internal injuries. 12.1.3 This document provides guidelines for establishing and maintaining a safe working environment wherever excavation is carried out. The contractor should be aware of his obligations to protect his workers, the client and members of the public, during the course of excavation. 12.1.4 This document provides practical advice about the safe practices required in carrying out all forms of excavations. Advice is given on the provision of protective systems to prevent cave-ins, and to protect employees when cave-ins occur, and to protect employees from material that could fall or roll from an excavated face or from the collapse of adjacent structures. 12.1.5 Protective systems include support systems (steel, aluminum and timber), battering, benching, and shield systems. The code is based on current knowledge and construction methods. However, it is not intended to exclude other techniques that can be shown to meet the requirements of providing a safe workplace.

Page 17 of 64

12.1.6

Examination of site conditions by a competent person is necessary to determine safe slopes for excavations. Safe slopes depend on the height of the face, soil type and geological conditions, the moisture content of the soil and any surcharge loads.

12.1.7

Soil moisture content and geological conditions may change as excavation progresses, causing safe slopes to become hazardous. 13.0 SCOPE This document provides information to assist with the planning, preparation and conduct of work practices, including the installation or provision of protective systems to protect employees from earth collapse or ground movement while working in and around excavations.

13.0.1

13.0.2

It also includes information on support systems, battering and benching and shield systems.

13.1 Pre-planning and co-ordination 13.1.1 Preplanning and co-ordination between those involved in excavation activities is essential to ensure the safety of all those involved and members of the public. 13.1.2 Before any excavation work commences, the exact location of certain underground services needs to be established. These services are electrical power cables, gas pipes, sewer pipes and water pipes. 13.1.3 The exact location of other underground services, such as telephone and telecommunications cables, drainage pipes and soak wells, fuel lines and storage tanks, should also be established. site plans and drawings for utilities can be borrowed from the project department. They may be useful, but could be outdated and inaccurate. 13.1.4 Consideration should be given to the possibility of encountering toxic atmospheres during excavation operations, especially if gas pipes or fuel lines cross or are close to the excavation line. 13.1.5 Where toxic atmospheres are encountered, testing must be carried out to establish the nature of the atmosphere so that the correct personal protective equipment can be provided. 13.1.6 Hazardous substances may be present in excavated material where the work is carried out. All plant and equipment to be used must be properly maintained in accordance with good engineering practice and plant operators must be appropriately trained and certificated, if necessary. 13.1.7 Sufficient industrial grade portable ladders need to be on hand to enable workers to gain access to, or egress from, the excavation. 13.1.8 Workers should not be permitted to climb up or down components of shoring systems since this may weaken the shoring and trigger a collapse. 13.1.9 Unless a competent person determines otherwise, workers should not be allowed to enter an excavated area unless it has been safely sloped, benched, shored or the workers are protected by
Page 18 of 64

a trench shield. Workers and members of the public must be protected from falling into excavations by the use of appropriate barriers and warning signs. 13.1.10 Provision should be made for the regular inspection of the excavation by a competent person. The condition of soil surrounding excavations can change quickly due to the soil drying out, changes in the water table or water saturation of the soil, or if a previous excavation has disturbed virgin ground. 13.1.11 The soil condition and state of any battering and benching of excavation faces and any shoring needs to be frequently checked for signs of earth fretting, slipping, slumping or swelling. 13.1.12 Contractor is responsible for the safety and health of his employees while at work and should take reasonable care to ensure that their actions do not harm or place others at risk. 13.1.13 One of his obligations is to co-operate with the client on safety and health matters and not to interfere with the safety and health regime of King Fahd Medical City. 13.1.14 The contractor so far as practicable is also responsible for the safety and health of people who are not employees. 13.1.15 He needs to take all practicable steps to ensure that the work of the contractor or his employees does not harm any other person while at work, including members of the public or visitors to the workplace.

13.2 Hazard management 13.2.1 Employers need to have an effective method in place to identify hazards and to determine whether there are significant hazards that require further action. A hazard is an existing, new, or potential situation or event that could result in injury or harm to health. 13.2.2 Excavation is recognized within the construction industry as one of the most hazardous operations, with risk always present. a) Workers should not be required to work in an excavation 1.5 meters or more deep that is not protected by shoring, unless an examination of the ground by a competent person reveals no indication of a potential cave-in. b) Excavated slopes considered to be safe may quickly become hazardous due to changes in weather or geological conditions. c) Workers should not be permitted to work under raised loads and must be protected from loads or objects falling from excavation equipment or other equipment. 13.2.3 A safety analysis that lists the hazards and suggests safety procedures should be prepared. The minimum requirements for this safety analysis include: a) Identification of the hazards; b) Assessment of the risks from the hazards identified;
Page 19 of 64

c) Control measures required to eliminate or minimize the risks from the hazards; and d) Identification of the person responsible for implementing and monitoring the control measures. 13.2.4 Where possible, the hazard should be eliminated, or the risk reduced, by changing or modifying the proposed work method, or by use of alternative equipment. 13.2.5 Where the hazard cannot be eliminated, control measures should be implemented to isolate the hazard and to minimize risk to employees. 13.2.6 In these circumstances, measures such as barricading areas of danger, provision of specific safety training and work instructions, use of protective equipment and posting of warning signs should be implemented. 13.2.7 Such measures should be discussed with employees and evaluated to ensure that they are effective and do not create additional hazards. 13.2.8 The accepted means of planning to prevent injury is to identify hazards and then assess and control the risk. At the control stage, there is a preferred order of hazard control measures that should be applied.13 a) Contractor should ensure a competent person maintains supervision of employees when excavation work is being carried out. b) A competent person is defined as 'one who has acquired through training, qualification or experience, or a combination of those things, the knowledge and skills required to do that thing competently'. c) A competent person should be capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards or dangerous and unsafe working conditions in and around excavations, and be authorized to take prompt corrective action to eliminate them. He should have knowledge of, and experience in, the installation and use of protective systems and their causes of failure, and the ability to detect conditions in excavations that could result in cave-ins. d) The knowledge and skills required of a competent person will increase as the complexity of the excavation work increases. Size is not the only determinant of knowledge and skills needed. e) Many simple and straightforward excavations will only require experience while more complex work may require training and qualifications as well. It is the complexity of the work which determines the need for training, qualification or experience, or a combination of those things, to carry out regular inspections of excavation work. f) Because of the technical issues involved in many situations, a competent person will either need to be an appropriately experienced engineer, or to act on advice from an engineer on a specific aspect of the excavation. This may include situations such as excavations: i. ii. iii. iv.
Page 20 of 64

Deeper than six meters; Adjacent to ponded water; In soils with slip planes or variable ground conditions; Involving complex de-watering; or

v.

Where it is necessary to evaluate the pressure on trench walls from surcharge loads such as excavated material, machinery or adjacent structures so as to determine appropriate ground support systems.

13.2.9

In many other situations, considerable experience in excavation work, including shoring of excavated faces, and a sound knowledge of the technical principles involved in excavation work, will be necessary.

13.2.10

All competent persons should have a sound knowledge of: a.) How to identify and locate underground services; b.) The hazard identification and risk management process for excavation work; c.) Safe work practices for excavation work; d.) How to identify soil types and other factors that affect the safety of an excavation; and e.) Occupational safety and health legislation and standards.

7 13.3 Support systems and retaining structures 13.3.1 Support systems and retaining structures include shoring systems to support the sides of an excavation, shield systems to protect against cave-in and structures such as underpinning, shoring or bracing to provide support to an adjacent structure or underground installation. 13.3.2 Shoring is the provision of support for excavation faces to prevent movement of soil. Shoring or shielding is used when the location of an excavation or the depth of cut makes battering or benching impracticable. 13.3.3 The two basic types of shoring are hydraulically operated metal shoring and timber shoring. The trend today is toward the use of shoring using hydraulic jacks and steel struts, walls and sheeting, although aluminum or timber components are sometimes used. 13.3.4 Shields or trench boxes differ from shoring in that they do not support the trench face. They are intended primarily to protect workers from cave-ins. 13.3.5 The space between the trench box and the sides of the excavation are backfilled to prevent lateral movement of the box. 13.3.6 19 13.4 Battering 13.4.1 Battering, often referred to as sloping, is a way of preventing cave-ins by cutting the face back to a safe incline. Advice from a competent person is always needed to assess safe slopes since the angle of incline required to prevent collapse varies with the soil type, the height of the face, the moisture content of the soil and any surcharge loads acting on the face.
Page 21 of 64

Trench shields are generally used in open areas where cranage is satisfactory. However, they may also be used in combination with sloping and benching.

13.4.2

It is not necessary to batter the face of excavations which a competent person determines are in stable rock, or has assessed there is no risk of a potential cave-in.

13.4.3

Battering the sides of an excavation to provide safe working conditions is often only economical for shallow excavations in open ground with minimal obstructions.

13.4.4

For deeper excavations and trenches, shoring or the use of shields can usually provide a quicker and more economical option by reducing the quantity of excavation, placement, and backfill, and the often high costs of land restoration in built up areas.

13.4.5

Employees need to be protected from loose rock or soil falling or rolling from a sloping face. Hand scaling of loose material from the face may be necessary, and in some instances protective barriers may be necessary on the face to contain falling material.

13.4.6

Employees also need to be protected from excavated or other materials or equipment that could fall or roll into the excavation. Materials and equipment should be kept at least 600 mm from the edge of excavations.

13.5 Benching 13.5.1 Benching is a method of preventing collapses or cave-ins by excavating the sides of an excavation to form one or a series of horizontal levels or steps, with vertical surfaces between levels. As for battering, the type of soil determines the horizontal to vertical ratio of the benched side. 13.5.2 Benching is suitable only for cohesive type soils. As a general rule, the bottom vertical height of a trench excavation should not exceed 1.2metres for the bench. 13.5.3 Subsequent benches should also be 1.2metres vertical height, although 1.5metres may be used in very cohesive soils. In all benching operations, the overall slope of the excavated sides should not exceed the safe slopes mentioned in Section 9.1. 20 13.6 De-watering systems 13.6.1 Employees should not work in excavations where water has accumulated or where water is accumulating from any source, unless adequate precautions have been taken. Water may accumulate from a number of sources: i. High ground water table seeping into the excavation; ii. Storm water drains; iii. Surface run off after heavy rain; or 13.6.2 The precautions necessary to protect against cave-ins and adjoining structures adequately will vary with each situation, and include water removal and special support or shield systems.

Page 22 of 64

13.6.3

Water control may involve the relatively simple removal of small amounts of water at the bottom of an excavation by electrically driven sludge pumps. It may also involve the control of large quantities of water in situations where an excavation is below the level of the ground water table.

13.6.4

In this situation, dewatering systems consisting of pumps and suction points, or 'well-points' connected to pipelines are located around an excavation or alongside a trench to pump the water to waste and lower the water table below the bottom of the trench or excavation.

13.6.5

Excavation in water bearing ground is always troublesome. Steel sheet piling or closed sheeting are not always a practicable solution, and often the most effective way is to drain the ground before excavation begins to enable work to be carried out in the dry.

13.6.6

Drainage is achieved by jetting well-points or 'spears' into the ground to the desired depth, and pumping out the water at a rate exceeding the inflow from the surrounding water table.

13.6.7

A well-point is a pipe at the bottom of which is a ball valve and nozzle arrangement which opens when water is pumped down the pipe and closes when the pipe is under suction. The lower part of the pipe is perforated with holes, and these are in turn covered with a fine mesh screen.

13.6.8

The area to be dewatered is surrounded with well-points. The spacing depends on the nature of the ground and the volume of ground water flowing. The well-points are connected to a header or ring main which is connected to the pumping plant.

13.6.9

Duplicate pumps should be on standby, if the dewatering system fails, as rapid ingress of water will undoubtedly lead to cave-ins. In wider trenches, or where water volumes are large or the water table is high, a line of well points may be required on both sides of the excavation.

13.6.10

Groundwater can be lowered about six meters by this method. At greater depths of excavation a second stage installation can be installed at a lower level after the excavation has proceeded as far as the dewatering will permit.

13.6.11

Other systems for lowering ground water levels beyond six meters are available and expert advice should be sought to obtain the most suitable arrangement.

13.6.12

Environmental issues may arise where it is necessary to lower groundwater levels, particularly for lengthy periods. This is a matter which should be addressed by the contractor before work commences.

13.6.13

In addition, the disposal of large quantities of water from an excavation may present problems which require careful planning.

13.6.14

When work is finished, well-points can be recovered by pumping water down each point to loosen it in the ground and then by simply withdrawing it.

13.6.16

The flow from each well-point will depend on the nature of the soil, porosity, etc, and the depth of the water table.

Page 23 of 64

13.6.17

The spacing of the well-points and the capacity of the pump should be designed to accommodate the volume of water.

13.6.18

Water control may also involve the prevention of flooding of the excavation from surface run off after heavy rain or flooding from overflowing storm water drains where the capacity of the drain is insufficient either because of the intensity of the rainfall, or from under-design or lack of maintenance.

22 13.7 13.7.1 Barriers and warning signs

If, at a workplace where excavation work is to be done, any person is at risk of injury because of the excavation work then a person who, at the workplace, is an employer, the main contractor or a self-employed person must ensure that: a.) Suitable barriers are erected between the person at risk and the likely cause of the danger; and b.) Suitable signs that warn of the risk are erected at the place where the excavation work is to be done.

13.7.2

Other forms of visual warning should also be considered and may be appropriate dependent on the nature of the excavation work.

13.7.3

'Witches hats' and reflectorised mesh may be suitable to warn of low level hazards on an excavation site and bollards and earth mounds could be used in association with these visual items.

14.0

PROVISION, FOR MOVEMENT OF PERSONS; IN, AROUND AND ACROSS AN EXCAVATION

14.0.1

If, at a workplace, there is an excavated area in, around, or across the top of, which persons can move or plant can be moved then a person who, at the workplace, is an employer, the main contractor, a self-employed person or a person having control of the workplace must ensure, as far as is practicable, that (a) Persons can move safely in, around, and across the top of, the area; and (b) Plant can be moved safely in, around, and across the top.

14.1 Inspections 14.1.1 Inspections of the excavation should be made daily before the start of work and as needed throughout each shift. a.) Inspections should be carried out by a competent person.

Page 24 of 64

b.) Inspections should look for indications of any situation that could result in cave-ins, indications of failure of protective systems and any indications of hazardous substances or toxic atmospheres being encountered. c.) Inspections should be carried out: i. ii. iii. iv. v. 14.1.2 14.1.3 Daily and before work commences; When tension cracks, sloughing, undercutting, water seepage, bulging or other similar events occur or when disturbed soil is encountered. When the size, location or placement of the spoil heap changes; When any indication of movement in an adjacent structure is noticed; and After every rainstorm and any earthquake or seismic event. Where inspections reveal hazardous situations, workers must be removed from the excavation until precautions have been taken to ensure their safety. Where inspections are carried out and reveal hazardous situations, they should be documented.

14.2 Direct supervision 14.2.1 14.2.2 Employers should ensure a competent person maintains supervision of employees when excavation work is being undertaken. Direct supervision means continuous and 'close' supervision necessary for particular activities and work processes. There are likely to be many activities in excavation work requiring this level of supervision. 14.2.3 14.2.4 The commencement of shoring or shielding operations and their subsequent removal are activities where the risk of injury to workers is particularly high and requires direct supervision. It should always be provided to operations involving exposure of underground services such as electric power, gas, water or sewer lines. The risk of injury from electricity, fire, 14.2.5 14.2.6 explosion, engulfment by liquid or becoming overwhelmed by a contaminant is high during these activities. Direct supervision of trenching carried out for soil investigation purposes is always necessary when entry is made into un shored deep trenches to examine soil profiles. The need for supervision of employees to ensure they are not exposed to hazards is fundamental requirement.

15.0

ESTABLISHING AN AREA FOR PLACEMENT OF EXCAVATED MATERIALS, PLANT AND OTHER LOADS

15.0.1

A person who, at a workplace where excavation work is done, is an employer, the main contractor or a self-employed person must ensure that no item of plant, no excavated material and no other load is placed near the excavated area in a position where there is risk that: i. ii.
Page 25 of 64

the sides of the excavated area may collapse; or the plant, material or other load may fall into the excavated area.

15.0.2

Prior to excavation commencing, consideration should be given to the need for an area to be set aside for stockpiling excavated material and to accommodate idle plant and equipment and other materials until they are required on site.

15.0.3

Without a temporary stockpile area, the excavated material and plant is usually placed above the face of the excavation. Unless these temporary loads have been provided for, collapse of the face may occur. 16.0 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Prior to commencement of excavation affecting roads or traffic movement, a documented traffic control management plan should be prepared that includes, where necessary, traffic controller, barricades and any road closures.

16.0.1

16.0.2 17.0 17.0.1

This traffic management plan should be available on site at all times when work is carried out. LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND SERVICES AND OTHER STRUCTURES These services are electricity, gas, water and sewerage. In addition, an assessment should be made of the likelihood of other underground hazards being present before any excavation work commences.

17.0.2

These hazards could include telephone and telecommunication cables, drainage pipes and soak wells, fuel lines and underground storage tanks.

17.0.3

The exact location of these potential hazards should also be determined if they are in close proximity and may have a bearing on the safety of the excavation. a.) The precise location of sewerage services where cut-ins are required on a sewer main in a trench should be established at the preplanning stage. This will avoid the need to remove any part of the support system for cut-in purposes. b.) Excavation into unsupported ground should never be undertaken. c.) Underground services are widespread and should be assumed to be present until proven otherwise. d.) Excavations in street reserves will almost certainly encounter underground services within the trench or in the face of the excavation parallel to the line of excavation. e.) Many injuries occur when underground services are struck, penetrated or damaged during excavating. Electric shock or electrocution may result from striking electricity cables with excavation equipment. f.) However, not all accidents happen immediately. Some happen much later due to the effects of corrosion on a damaged or weakened service line. Pipe leaks or bursts, gas flames or explosion can cause personal injury.

17.0.4

When planning an excavation, a complete search for the location of underground services should be undertaken before work commences.
Page 26 of 64

17.0.5

At this stage, many risks associated with working near existing underground services can be minimized. Once the records are obtained, they should be kept in the work area and be accessible to all workers.

17.0.6

Exposed service pipes should not be used as hand or foot holds or supports of any kind. Care needs to be taken to avoid any damage to protective coatings or cathodic protection.

17.0.7

In addition to the risk of personal injury caused by directly striking underground cables and mains, previously dug trenches have a weakening effect on the face of an excavation if they are in close proximity.

17.0.8

'As built' or 'as constructed' drawings may be available to show the location of underground services. However, these are often unreliable or lost, so exploratory hand digging will be necessary to locate or confirm the location of services.

17.0.9

A contingency plan to be adopted in case of an emergency arising from damage to an underground service should be kept at the excavation site and communicated to workers.

17.0.10

It should provide, as a minimum, emergency telephone numbers, containment procedures and procedures to ensure the safety of workers.

17.0.11

Underground services are often backfilled with selected material to protect the coating of the service pipes.

17.0.12 29

Generally, the backfill is fine grained to eliminate the risk of stone damage to plastic services. Any special backfill which is disturbed needs to be reinstated to its original standard.

17.1 Electricity cables 17.1.1 It is not possible to give a description of all types of underground electricity cables, so any services not identifiable in the underground power alignment should be treated as electric cables. 17.1.2 Specialist knowledge may be needed to make a positive identification. Injury may occur or a loss of electricity supply may result if a cable, sheath or conductor insulation is damaged by hand tools or machinery. 17.1.3 The explosive effects of arcing current, any associated fire or flames, or electric shock can cause serious injury or death. 17.1.4 All work near underground cables needs to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the distribution authority. 17.1.5 Work should not commence until services identified as electric cables are de-energized and required precautions are taken. 17.1.6 Workers should not handle any cable or move any cable until the distribution authority has issued permission.
Page 27 of 64

17.1.7

All electrical hazards and physical hazards associated with working near an electricity cable should be identified and the risks assessed.

17.2 Gas pipes 17.2.1 Damage to gas pipes can cause gas escape, which may lead to fires or explosions. Gas escape can occur immediately, if the damage is severe or sometime later, if damage has occurred to the protective coating of the pipe. 17.2.2 Damage which is not reinstated while the excavation is open can be extremely difficult and costly to repair at a later stage.

17.3 Fuel lines 17.3.1 These may contain liquid petroleum, oil or various types of gas. Damage can cause similar outcomes to gas pipe damage mentioned above. 17.3.2 It is important to identify the product within the fuel line to enable appropriate safety measures to be undertaken.

17.4 Water, sewer and drainage pipes 17.4.1 Damage to water pipes can cause local flooding of an excavation which may undermine shoring and other supports causing collapse. This can have a disastrous effect on any other services in or nearby to the excavation. 17.4.2 High pressure pipe lines, when damaged, can propel debris and other material at enormous force and cause severe injuries. Broken sewer pipes can cause contamination of the ground and atmosphere and render an excavation unusable for some time. Many sewer pipes are under high pressure. 17.4.3 Storm water drains when damaged can flood excavations and may also contain contaminants and harmful gases. Any results from monitoring carried out to detect toxic atmospheres or contaminants should be communicated to employees. 17.5 Telecommunication cables 17.5.1 Although the possibility of personal injury from damaged telecommunication cable is small. The possibility of creating a hazardous situation due to interruption of communication during an emergency is very real. 17.5.2 Some telecommunication cables contain optical fibres which carry light signals generated by lasers. Exposure to the laser beam may be harmful to the eyes and skin.

18.0

FACTORS TO CONSIDER TO AVOID CAVE-IN IF, AT A WORKPLACE a.) Any excavation work or earthwork is to be done and there is a risk that the matter forming, or adjacent to, the excavated area or the earthwork may fall or dislodge; or b.) A person is required to work in an excavated area or other opening in the ground that is at least 1.5metres deep, then a person who, at the workplace is an employer. c.) The main contractor or a self-employed person must ensure that while a person is working in or near the work, area or opening, the work, area or opening is shored-in a manner which will prevent it from collapsing or moving. The following factors should be considered when deciding upon a system of support for an excavation:

18.0.1

Nature of the ground: Soil or rock type; Presence of any faults or bedding planes in the soil or rock made up ground; Moisture content of the soil or rock. Cohesiveness of the soil or rock may change, Height of the face.

18.0.2

Water control Water control may involve the relatively simple removal of small amounts of water at the bottom of an excavation by electrically driven sludge pumps, or it may involve the use of dewatering systems to control large quantities of water in situations where an excavation is below the level of the ground water table.

18.0.3 18.0.4 18.0.5

Static loads near an excavation. Dynamic loads near an excavation, such as, traffic and excavation equipment. Ground vibration: The collapse of an excavated side may be caused by ground vibration accompanying dynamic loads. Such vibration may come from: rail stock passing close to an excavation excavation and compaction machinery construction works in the immediate vicinity (for example pile driving) rock breakers and use of explosives.

18.1 Daily site inspections 18.1.1 In the course of daily routine inspections, it is important to watch for unsafe situations which are common during excavating and backfilling. Surveillance of trench walls and support systems should be carried out frequently.
Page 29 of 64

18.1.2

All employees should be encouraged to look for and report hazards. Workers at sites where excavation takes place, as well as other employees having reason to visit such sites, should be made aware of hazards likely to cause injury to themselves or others.

18.1.3

Adequate protection needs to be provided to protect employees from loose rock or soil that could fall or roll down the face of an excavation.

18.1.4

Protection may be carried out by scaling to remove loose material or by the installation of protective barriers on the face to stop and contain falling material.

18.1.5

Materials, plant and equipment should be kept or placed at least 600 mm from the edge of the excavation.

18.1.6

The face of dumped excavated material should be kept at a safe slope and retaining devices or toe boards may be necessary to retain this 600 mm minimum clearance and prevent spoil from running or sliding back into the excavation.

18.1.7

Spoil should be placed so that it channels rainwater and other run-off water away from the excavation. When excavation is being done beside an old service line, spoil should be placed on the side opposite the old service line to prevent excessive loading on previously weakened ground. When it is necessary to place spoil close to a trench due to close fences, buildings, trees, etc.

18.1.8

The weight of the spoil pile may overload the sides of a trench, requiring the supporting system to be strengthened at these locations.

18.1.8

If it is necessary to place surcharge loads from stored material, plant or equipment near the edge of a sloped excavation face, the slope of the face may need to be flattened below the maximum allowable slope. A competent person should determine safe slopes, especially where surcharge loads are present.

18.1.9

An adequate system of safety should always be in place to protect against cave-ins or the risk to safety and health arising from one or more of the following: a) The fall or dislodgement of earth or rock; b) The placement of excavated materials, plant or other loads; c) The instability of any adjoining structure caused by the excavation; d) The existence of a previous excavation; e) The presence of underground services or structures; f) 37 The instability of the excavation due to persons or plant working adjacent to the excavation; or g) The presence or in-rush of water or other liquid.

18.2 During working hours 18.2.1 The following precautions should be taken during working hours: a) display warning signs at the work site and erect appropriate barriers around the excavation;
Page 30 of 64

b) set-up warning signs on approach roads to the excavation, particularly where the work is not readily visible from a distance, and provide a temporary by-pass for vehicular traffic if necessary. It may also be necessary to arrange for a traffic controller to warn and control traffic. Where excavation work is carried out on gazette roads, c) establish access, with direction signs for pedestrians, around or over an excavation; d) consider whether temporary barriers such as heaps of earth are needed to prevent accidental vehicle entry to a hazardous location; and e) do not leave any hazard unguarded during work breaks. 18.2 Outside working hours 18.2.1 The following precautions should be taken outside working hours: a.) erect appropriate barriers around the excavation; b.) provide warning lights; c.) set up reflectorised signs to give advance warning to vehicular traffic; and d.) where practicable, arrange construction so that excavation work across driveways and roadways is backfilled before the end of a working day. If this is not practicable, provide access with safety guard rails across the excavation. 19.0 19.0.1 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Where excavation work breaks through security fences around features such as electricity switchyards, swimming pools, etc, temporary fencing needs to be provided to maintain security to the original standard existing prior to excavation work. 54 19.1 Access 19.1.1 Careful planning is necessary to give safe access and egress for workers and plant under normal working conditions. 19.1.2 Full provision for the safety and rescue of workers in the case of an accident should not be overlooked - this includes free movement of stretchers. 19.1.3 Access to surfaces more than one meter above or below ground level should be by fixed means using: 19.1.4 ladders; stairways; or ramps.

In trenches, access ladders or other means of access should be provided at intervals of not more than 30metres where people are working and near junctions or angles in the trench line.

Page 31 of 64

19.1.5

Ladders must be secured and extend a minimum of 900 mm above the landing. Metal ladders should be used with caution where electricity or overhead power lines are present.

19.1.6 19.1.7

Workers should not use shoring to climb into or out of an excavation. Portable timber or metal ladders must comply with AS/NZS 1892. Normal access routes used within an excavation should, wherever practicable, permit workers to pass without bumping into obstructions.

19.1.8

Walking in an excavation should occur on a secure footing without risk of being hit by falling debris.

19.2 Emergency access and egress 19.2.1 When an emergency occurs, only rescue traffic should be permitted in the area and all access ways cleared immediately. 19.2.2 Operators should always park their vehicles clear of access routes or haul roads to leave adequate clearance for emergency traffic. 19.2.3 Rescue teams will then be able to use routes normally used by plant. Rescue traffic may include stretchers, and should be provided for when planning details of access throughout the job. 19.2.4 Wherever possible, some alternative access should be provided for emergency use. Open excavations should have a spare ladder provided at the top of the excavation which should be left in a place known to all workers and reserved solely for emergency use. 19.2.5 19.2.6 It should be painted red or yellow to emphasize its emergency role. Emergency access and egress also implies safe egress from the face of an advancing excavation. At the face, while supporting members are being placed, protection cannot be as good as where the supporting work is completed. 19.2.7 This zone of reduced protection should be kept short by keeping the support as close as practicable to the face being excavated. 19.2.8 Workers should be provided with a clear run to safety should there be a fall of earth. This requires the floor of the excavation to be kept as clear as possible of loose spoil, tools, timber.

19.3 Working alone 19.3.1 See Section 6.1 for the requirements of regulation 3.112, certain excavation work not to be done in isolation. 19.4 Working space

Page 32 of 64

19.4.1

Workers should be kept sufficiently far apart when working to avoid injury from the use of picks or other tools. This applies particularly to work in trenches and small excavations.

19.5 Safety helmets 19.5.1 Regulation 3.36 requires persons in and around trenches and other excavation sites to wear safety helmets if there is a risk of the person being struck on the head by falling objects. 19.5.2 56 19.6 Eye protection 19.6.1 Suitable eye protection must be worn when there is a risk of eye injury. Flying grit and chips of rock are two common sources of danger to eyes in excavation work. It is important for people in and around excavations to wear safety helmets. Not wearing a safety helmet is a dangerous practice.

19.7 Dust nuisance 19.7.1 In dry conditions, frequent watering may need to be applied to haul roads and work areas to reduce the level of nuisance dust. Oiling or sealant may be suitable for some work areas. 19.8 Fumes and emissions 19.8.1 Employees should not be permitted to work in hazardous or toxic atmospheres. Excavations are a natural sump for any gas heavier than air. 19.8.2 Various types of gas such as methane and sulphur dioxide can seep through the ground, while leakage may occur from nearby underground services such as gas or sewer pipes or underground fuel storage. 19.8.3 Carbon dioxide may accumulate from nearby internal combustion engines and toxic atmospheres may be created where excavation occurs. 19.8.4 Where there is any risk of air contamination, tests using detection equipment must be carried out prior to work commencing, and at regular intervals throughout the course of the work. Where testing reveals an oxygen deficient or toxic atmosphere, attempts should be made to keep the atmosphere clear. 19.9 Protection from falls 19.9.1 Where there is a risk of a person falling from an access way, a hand rail, and sometimes an intermediate rail or a toe board, should be provided to enable persons to pass more easily and to prevent falls.

Page 33 of 64

19.9.2

It must be understood that where there is a risk that persons could fall three meters or more from an edge.

19.9.3

Protection consisting of a fall injury prevention system (fall-arrest harness and lanyard attached to an anchorage point) or alternatively guard railing comprising a top rail, mid rail and toe board, or top rail, toe board and meshing, must be provided.

19.9.4

Edge protection may often be required on access ways and at the edge of steep cuttings such as excavations for deep sewerage lines, large structures.

19.9.5

Ladder runs (take-off to landing) should be not more than six meters, and intermediate landings should be provided to break up any longer runs.

19.9.6

At any landing, the ladder below should be offset from the ladder above so that it is not possible for a person or objects to fall past the landing.

19.9.7

Landing platforms should be fitted with guard rails and toe boards. Ladders should be placed so that the foot of the ladder is approximately 30 cm out for each 90-120 cm vertical distance.

19.9.8

A ladder should extend at least 900 mm above the landing it serves, unless alternative hand holds are provided. It is particularly important that the rise to the lowest rung is uniform with the rung spacing. All ladders must be secured against slipping.

19.10 Separation of Traffic 19.10.1 Wherever practicable, the traffic route used for excavated material should be separated from that used by workers. 19.10.2 Employees working near traffic should be provided with and required to wear warning vests or other suitable garments marked with or made of reflectorized or high-visibility materials. In areas shallow enough for workers on top to see and talk to workers below, no difficulty should arise. 19.11 Ramps and runways 19.11.1 Ramps or runways used for running plant into and out of an excavation need to be constructed of appropriate strength, width and grade for the plant being used. 19.11.2 Ramps intended for use by track vehicles only should be marked as such and no other vehicles allowed to use them. 19.11.3 Ramps or runways should normally have a clear width of at least 3.7 meters for non-passing traffic and at least 6.7 meters when providing for passing traffic and be provided with substantial wheel guards where there is any risk of vehicles slipping sideways into the excavation. 19.11.4 A substantial earth windrow may be sufficient in some cases. Frequent careful examination and maintenance is needed to keep ramps in a safe and serviceable condition.
Page 34 of 64

19.11.5

Ramps used for foot traffic within the job should preferably be not steeper than one vertical in six horizontal (1:6), unless cleats are used and in no case steeper than one in four (1:4). To climb a steeper grade than this, flights of steps alternating with landings should be used.

19.12 Plant and Gear 19.12.1 Excavation work cannot be carried out safely unless plant and equipment is in good condition. It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide plant such that, so far as practicable, employees are not exposed to hazards. As far as practicable, ensure that the equipment does not create a hazard.

19.13 Excavation plant operating near overhead power lines 19.13.1 Cranes and excavation equipment, particularly backhoes, trench diggers, excavators and draglines, need to be operated with extreme care in the vicinity of power lines. 19.13.2 Unless otherwise indicated all power lines should be treated as being live.

19.14 Scaffolding 19.14.1 Scaffolding may be required for certain special excavation work when access to high faces is needed. 19.15 Drainage 19.15.1 In all excavations, the safety of faces depends largely on the effectiveness of steps taken to control surface and ground water. 19.15.2 Where practicable, surface water should be collected in drains and discharged clear of the working area. All sub-soil drains found should be effectively diverted and the water led away from the site. 19.15.3 During excavation checks should be made for inflow from seepage. When found, such inflows should be collected into a sump and pumped clear of the excavation. 19.15.4 Such seepage may cause faces to slump, and localized shoring may be needed. Springs coming through the floor of an excavation may cause dangerous unstable conditions leading to cave in. 20.0 20.0.1 SAFE SLOPES The face of an excavation may be cut back to a safe slope as an alternative to shoring. Sloping (battering) the face may be a safe and cheaper way if there is sufficient space at the site. 20.0.2 A slope is safe when the material is stable. That is, the slope does not flatten when left for a considerable period, there is no movement of material down the slope and the toe of the slope remains in the same place.
Page 35 of 64

20.0.3

Different soils, when dumped in heaps, will assume a characteristic shape and settle naturally at different slopes. The angle which a sloping face of loose earth makes with the horizontal is sometimes referred to as the angle of repose.

20.0.4

However, it is poor practice to relate the safe slope of an excavation to the angle of repose, even though the safe slope may be similar in some types of soil to the angle of repose.

20.0.5

On some excavations, typically those of long-term duration, an analysis of soil samples will enable an engineer experienced in soil mechanics to calculate safe slopes.

20.0.6

However, in trenching works of shorter duration, this is usually not practicable and excavated slopes should be sufficiently conservative to avoid the risk of collapse.

20.0.7

The safety of the slope can change if the local geology and condition of the soil changes. The presence of water has a substantial effect on the safe excavated slope of any material. If the material is wet by rain or seepage water, it may slump or flatten out.

20.0.8

The safe slope for a face will depend on the depth of cut, the type of soil, the moisture content and condition of the material in the face and the length of time the face will be required to stand.

20.0.9

The location of any underground services near the excavation will also affect the safe slope. In a shallow trench for pipe laying, where the material is uniform and known to be stable and the trench will be back filled within a short time, vertical faces may be safe.

20.0.10

However, the excavation of a vertical sided trench in which workers are required to work should be considered as dangerous and advice from a competent person should always be obtained.

20.0.11

In considering the stability of an excavated slope, it is important to note that, as a rule of thumb, the magnitude of horizontal forces is a function of the square of the total depth of the face.

20.0.12

Therefore, at a depth of two meters, horizontal forces are four times the magnitude of such forces in a one meter deep cut, nine times in a three meter deep cut, 16 times in a four meter deep cut and so on. These simple calculations indicate the very significant impact of the rate of increase of horizontal forces with increasing depth.

20.0.13

The safe slope for faces will depend on the depth of cut, the type and condition of material in the face and the length of time the face will be required to stand before backfilling.

20.0.14

In a trench where the material is uniform and known to be stable and the trench will be back filled within a short time, vertical faces may be safe for depths of up to 1.5 meters. However consideration needs to be given to the type of work being carried out in a trench.

20.0.15

If a worker is on his knees laying pipes or working in a bent or seated position, a trench less than 1.5 meters deep may present significant hazards and risks.

20.0.16

A safe slope may be judged by the careful examination of the size, shape, nature and bedding of the material in the face.
Page 36 of 64

20.0.17

A competent person is needed to make this judgment which requires experience and knowledge of the local area.

20.0.18

All loose or hanging rock should be removed and frequent inspections are necessary as weather conditions can quickly loosen excavated faces.

20.0.19

Where an excavation exceeds three meters in depth it should be horizontally benched to stabilize the slopes and to prevent material from the top of the slopes falling down to the working area.

20.0.20

Benches should be at about three meter vertical intervals and should not be less than 1.2 meters wide. They should be sloped to reduce the possibility of water scouring.UM

21.0 21.0.1

STABILITY OF AFFECTED BUILDING OR STRUCTURES If any excavation work or earthwork to be done at a workplace is likely to adversely affect the stability of any building or structure or any road then a person who, at the workplace, is an employer.

21.0.2

The main contractor or a self-employed person must ensure that the work is not commenced or continued unless the stability of the building or structure or the road is protected by sheet piling, shoring, bracing, guying or other appropriate means.

21.1 Soldier sets 21.1.1 The soldier set is a common form of trench support set which can be formed with steel or timber. This system is mostly used in rock, stiff clays and in other soil types with similar properties. 21.1.2 Unlike closed sheeting sets, soldier sets retain the earth where there may be a fault in the embankment.

21.2 Removal of shoring 21.2.1 Shoring and all support systems should be removed in a manner that protects workers from caveins, structural collapse or being struck by structural members. 21.2.2 Before removal begins, it may be necessary to install other temporary structural members to ensure worker safety. 21.2.3 An excavated wall is very unstable when ground supports are being removed or dismantled, and there is no guarantee the sides will not collapse at this time. 21.2.4 When a ground support system is being dismantled where the excavation was not properly backfilled, the trench walls may not withstand the increase in side pressure that was previously taken by the ground supports.

Page 37 of 64

21.2.5

Removal should begin at, and progress from, the bottom of the excavation. Members should be released slowly to note any indication of possible failure of the remaining support members or possible cave-in.

21.2.6

Backfilling and compaction should progress together with the removal of support members. Removal of sets should be done from the surface or from a supported area of trench.

21.2.7 21.2.8

No ground supports should be removed from a section of a trench where persons are working. Under no circumstances should shoring be partly removed unless it is for the purpose of complete removal and backfilling.
