OVERVIEW
Industrial workplaces are often home to buried utilities and electrical/control circuits, underground piping, excavated trenches, and subterranean or semi-buried structures/foundations. “Ground disturbance” activities are those that compact or disturb the ground within a project area and, if precautions are not taken, may result in a substantially increased risk of personal injury and/or damage to underground utilities, structures, or foundations.
As a result, all ground disturbance work is required to be properly planned and organized. Before any work can be allowed to get underway, the potential risks of ground disturbance activities must be assessed, and appropriate work equipment selected. In addition, that equipment should be properly inspected and maintained, and those involved in the ground disturbance work must receive appropriate training prior to the work being performed.
