Civil Engineering Earthworks, Deep Excavations & Temporary Works

For bulk earthworks, deep trenches and shafts, basements, cofferdams, retaining walls, formwork and falsework and any structure that is only there during construction. The first conviction under the Corporate Manslaughter Act (2011) followed the death of a geologist in an unsupported 3.5 m trial pit; unsupported ground is still one of the deadliest shortcuts on site. Every temporary works item needs a design, a Temporary Works Coordinator and a permit to load. Includes hazard-by-hazard control table with L×S risk ratings, legal framework, HSE 2024/25 incident data, sign-off and team briefing record sheets. Instant PDF download — print, brief and sign.
