Before commencing excavation, fence or board the

area of work so as to prevent unauthorised access.
Provide
adequate
safeguards,
e.g.
gangways,
handrails, notices or direction boards and lighting at
night.
Contact local authority departments to obtain details
of existing underground services. Proper marking will
be employed on the site to avoid damage to any
adjacent services.

Provide adequate trench support to retain the sides of

excavations and ensure the safe and proper
construction of works and completion of backfilling.
