What is Excavation Work?
Excavation work generally means work involving the removal of soil or rock form a site to form an open face, hole or cavity using tools, machinery or explosives. A person conducting a business or undertaking must manage risks associated with all kinds of excavations at the workplace, no matter how deep.
Specific duties apply in relation to the higher-risk excavations such as trenches, shafts and tunnels. However, these requirements do not apply to a Mine, a Bore to which a relevant Water Law applies or a trench used as a place of interment. Any construction work (including any work connected with an "Excavator") that is carried out in or near:
- A shaft or trench with an excavated depth of greater than 1.5 metres, or
- A tunnel
is considered to be "High-Risk Construction Work" for which a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) must be prepared.
