Groundworks & Excavation RAMS templates
Two hazards dominate groundworks RAMS: excavation collapse and striking buried services. Reviewers expect a support method, a daily inspection regime and evidence that services have been located before anyone breaks ground.
What principal contractors check in a groundworks & excavation RAMS
- Service drawings reviewed plus a CAT & Genny sweep and permit to dig
- An excavation support method (battering, shoring or trench box) and inspection regime
- Plant and pedestrian segregation around the dig
- Safe digging practice (HSG47) and confined-space controls where they apply
