Give priority to hazards where the persons at risk, likelihood or severity are high. Include any controls that reduce the risks from
the significant hazards
Control Measures: (For example, Work at height = Full scaffold instead of ladders, Electrocution = Battery powered drill
instead of 110V or mains electric, Confined spaces = Forced air ventilation instead of BA)
Accurate location of underground services by operatives trained in the use of locating equipment.
Planned provision of and use of excavation support equipment, trench support is to extend to 250mm from the bottom of
the dig. This is to be reviewed after every movement of the trench box, so ground conditions can be assessed by WBCE
Supervisor.
If ground conditions are that of solid state works may progress but any changes e.g. Water ingress, loose ground the works
must stop and be re assessed.
Excavations to be always backfilled as soon as practicable, if not warning signage, inspections & adequate fencing used.
Spoil and pipes, not to be placed at the edge of the excavation so as to surcharge it.
Proper tied ladder access extending 1.05m above top of excavation, and placed into the supported area of the excavation.
Only certified operators & lifting equipment to be used..SWL is not to be exceeded for the Excavator being used.
Excavator is banked during excavation work, and stops used on dumpers to prevent vehicles over running the excavation.
Operatives to be confined space trained medium risk and supervisor confined space trained high risk.
Control measures using PPE - Only select PPE where you cannot control or remove the hazard another way
Remember PPE is the last resort
Put x by the ones that apply: Head protection x Eye Protection x Dust mask x

Safety Method Statement

(Section : B):
Listing your sequence of work will help you, and your operatives,
carry out the task safely and cost effectively. It can reduce
errors and cut downtime due to lack of planning.

1 Underground services on site will be known, and have

been located through a cat & genny survey and marked
out on the ground. Working area to be fenced off at all
times .Gas detector to be lowered in to excavation
before operative enters and to remain within
excavation to monitor gas levels.
Escape BA also to remain within excavation for easy
access for operative if required.
2 A Permit to Dig and Permit to enter will have been
issued to the Westbourne team for the drainage work.
3 Manholes & excavations once they are excavated will
be supported by using a drag boxs/ manhole box
support system lifted into situ by 360 excavator.

4 Foul line will be excavated first after trial holes have

been excavated to establish depth and position of
existing sewer.
Existing sewer is approx. 1.8m below ground so Hand
Dig will be used for final 0.8 to expose existing sewer
within trial holes.
Surface water line will be excavated after installation
of foul line has been completed. At two points the
surface water will cross the existing sewer at these
points operatives are to Hand dig to expose the existing
sewer so as not to damage the sewer with the 360
machine as there is only 300mm between the two at
this point
Works will progress from shallowest point adjacent to
Mitton Rd. Excavator will load arising into 9 tonne
dumper, once dumper has been filled operator will
mount dumper fit seat belt, start dumper and travel
across site to stockpile/tipping area (to be loaded off
site at later date) or stockpiled and sealed.

5 Once manhole excavation has reached a depth of 1

metre deep excavator will lift and lower Manhole
box in-situ. Excavator will carry on digging until
required depth has been reached. Then the Drag
box will be placed and abutted to manhole box to
provide all round excavation support and
protection prior to placement and securing of
ladder into excavation. Excavation will be
reviewed by supervisor prior to entry. This process
will be repeated and temporary support will be
adapted according to depth of dig. Gas monitor
used to establish safe atmosphere prior to entry.
The above process and sequence will be repeated
for the surface water drainage run. All safe
systems of work will be adopted as required.

6 Operatives will hand dig around existing pipe to

accommodate concrete base to construct manhole.
Excavator will place concrete into excavation
where operative will level concrete to
accommodate clay channels/boxing out base to
accommodate Manhole ring. Manhole rings are to
be lifted in-situ by means of manhole lifting pins
and 4 leg chains attached to excavator by means of
a bow shackle (all lifting gear to have a valid test
certificate). Once Manhole has been built
Excavator will lift in-situ 1200mm-3m dia Manhole
shutter. Once Manhole shutter in place excavator
will place concrete on cover slab to enable
operative to shovel concrete around shutter ready
for 2poker drive unit to vibrate concrete.

7. Once manhole construction completed excavation

will be backfilled by means of excavated material
placed by excavator in 300mm layers and compacted.
Once backfilled excavator will lift manhole box and
place safely away from excavation so as remaining
drainage run can continue. The excavator digs the
trench (for pipe work) to level (with a banks man
present) the trench support will be placed by excavator
as the excavation progresses. Excavator will place into
excavation 10mm-20mm pipe bedding. Operative will
level pipe bedding with shovel to accommodate
clay/concrete pipe. Excavator will lower clay/concrete
pipe into trench box using certificated strap fixed to
excavator by means of 9 tonne certificated alloy bow
shackle .
7. A tied off ladder will be placed into the excavation,
(5 rungs of the ladder above trench box) so as to
provide a safe means of access/egress for ops,.
The trench support system will extend 1m above the
top of the excavation with edge protection so as to
prevent falls.
8. Backfilling will progress as manholes and pipe work
are constructed/placed to avoid open excavations.
Where this is not possible 0pen excavations will be
fenced as required.
9. Compaction of crushed hard-core/excavated
material to be compacted with compactor where
applicable . Once backfill material is 600mm from top
of excavation a Bowmag 1200 roller and operator will
be used to compact material. Clay pipe will have to be
cut by means of Disc cutter, suppression bottle and
Diamond blade, operatives abrasive wheel trained and
all JSP fpp3 dust mask approved Face fit trained.
Drainage less than a metre deep will be individually
assessed may not need any trench support systems.
