Agricultural Excavation Work

SOP · SOP-60294

  • Version 2

The Agricultural Excavation Work Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a structured approach to safely managing excavation tasks on farms and rural properties.

It covers the hazards (plant roll-over, excavation collapse and utilities), worker training, safe work in and around excavations, identifying underground and overhead services, the hierarchy of controls, excavation stability and regular inspections.

An employee training and induction register records who has completed workplace induction and been trained in the tasks they perform.
