EXCAVATION
-a man made cut cavity trench or depression form by removal of earth
TRENCH- a narrow excavation were the deep greater than the with
but not wider than 15ft
SHIELD- a structure able to withstand a cave ins
SHORING- a well design protective system that support the sides of excavation
SLOPPING- techniques where a employee a specific angle of inclined to the
sides of excavation.
CLASSIFICATION OF SOIL
STABLE ROCK such as GRANITE
A-average soil such as CLAY
B-cohesive soil such SILT
C-loss soil such sand and gravel
Manual testing
-thumb penetration test
-plasticity test
-sedimentation test

particle size
water content
fissure
HEAVILY EQUIPMENT
-should stay park a least 1/3 of the deep but not more than 1 to 1.5m timps of
deep.
EXCAVATION w/ 6FT or 1.8M deep should be BARRICATED
METHODS OF EXCAVATION
SHORING and TEMBERRING- A well designed protective system that support the sides
of excavation.
SLOPPING SYSTEM- well designed protective system that the sides are inclined away
to its angle at rest
90 degree angle for stable rock
55 degree angle for type A average soil
45 degree angle for type B cohesive soil
34 degree for type c loose soil
34 degree is the safest degree on any type of soil.

Imposing safety and warning signs.
ELIMINATION control
-It is a process of removing hazards from the workplace
-it is the most effective method to control risk, because the hazards are no longer
Present.
-effective way to control hazard and should be use whenever possible.
SUBSTATUTION control
-Occurs when a new chemical or substance is used instead of another,
-it is sometimes group with elimination because in effect we are removing 1 st substance or
Hazard from the workplace.
-The goal obviously is to CHOOSE a NEW CHEMICAL that is LESS THAN HAZARDOUS than
The original.
ADMINISTRETIVE control
-Controlling the exposure of the worker
-controls that alter the way the wok is done
-including timing of work. Policies and other rules
Work practices such as standards operating procedures
-training, housekeeping, equipment maintenance and personal hygiene.
ENGINEERING control
-include designs or modification of plans
-ventilation system and process that reduce the source of exposure.
-system that reduce potential hazards by isolating the worker fr. Hazards.
