SSP’s Excavation Permits to Work are designed to ensure Contractors comply with all relevant Health and Safety Legislation and the Company's health policy. They also help businesses establish whether a contractor has Public and Employees Liability Insurance, and can provide a Method Statement on request.
Each Permit is made up of an original top copy and two duplicate sheets. The back copy is made of card. On the reverse of this is a temporary warning sign should the contractor be required to display this while on site.
How it works
Prior to starting any relevant work this self-duplicating RISK ASSESSMENT should be carried out by a contractor. On completion the top copy is held by the contractor and the secondary copy retained as a permanent record by the office.
Starting with the fundamental question "Are you qualified / trained to undertake this work?” and ending with the sign off of responsibility, this permit asks a number of key questions including:
- Are all tools and equipment safe and suitable for job?
- Are all service isolation valves/switches clearly identified?
- Are regular checks in place for lone workers?
- Are all warning signs and barriers in place?
- Are suitable shoring or trench supports required?
- Are emergency plans in place?
- Do you have fine material available for back filling?
- Have all underground services been disconnected?
- Are you aware of all underground services in the vicinity?
The sheet also has a section relating to half-hourly security checks.
