Excavation Collapse Emergency Response Plan

This Excavation Collapse Emergency Response Plan helps workers in excavations or trenches follow the procedures needed to address the risk of engulfment by soil or other materials. It sets out a clear, seven-step process for making the area safe and retrieving the people involved in a collapse.

It includes site-specific details and the emergency assembly point, emergency contact numbers, a First Aid Officer register, a rescue equipment checklist, and step-by-step emergency response procedures from contacting emergency services to victim removal.

It suits construction companies carrying out excavation and trenching, safety officers preparing emergency response plans, project managers, and training providers.
