The Excavation Risk Assessment
This is a simplified, easy to read alternative to a full survey.
This is a simplified, easy to read alternative to a full survey. Developed as part of the Crossrail’s TARGET ZERO Strategy, these popular assessments are part of the Plan to Dig - Dig to Plan Recommendations.
The benefits of an ERA include;
- Hazards assessed prior to breaking ground
- Excavations designed around existing hazards
- Reduced or eliminated service strike risks
- Increased confidence of excavation teams
- Enhanced employee safety
- Simplified knowledge transfer
- Can be used as part of a permit to dig system
- Pre-Excavation briefing based on factual data
- Permanent record of excavation positions
- Unambiguous location definition
We can provide you with:
- Plan, cross-sectional view and written dialogue of potential hazards
- Location plan and photograph with section line position
- Dated with auditable production trail
- Allows excavation team briefing to be recorded
- Can be laminated for site use or supplied as bound hard-copies
- Supplied as digital PDF files for distribution
