The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) identifies breaking ground as high-risk work, with fatal excavation accidents occurring every year.
Workers carrying out breaking ground activities face collapses, falls or being struck by equipment or plant if appropriate safety measures are not implemented. Unsafe digging can also strike underground utilities, putting workers at risk and causing significant disruption, delays and legal action.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) require the assessment and management of breaking ground risks to ensure the safety of workers and members of the public. Duty holders must understand what is required by the law and what must be done to comply.
This Breaking Ground in Construction Training course is designed for individuals who oversee breaking ground work. It provides an in-depth understanding of excavation safety and equips duty holders with the tools to assess breaking ground risks and ensure compliance with CDM 2015.
The course includes a free digital checklist to help duty holders review and record breaking ground control measures for safety and compliance.
