Excavation and Backfilling Hazard Analysis

This document provides a job hazard analysis for excavation and backfilling work. It identifies 5 potential hazards: 1) slip and trip hazards during site survey, 2) falls and equipment issues during excavation, 3) slip and trip hazards during backfilling, 4) falls and cave-ins in trenches, and 5) environmental hazards like heat stress during excavation. For each hazard, it lists control measures like proper PPE, barricades around excavation sites, safe spoil storage, shoring systems, and stopping work during extreme weather.
