TRENCHING AND EXCAVATION. (Call before you dig): USA North = 811 or 0-000-000-0000 or call your local USA numbers. Excavators in California are required to follow all California Government Code § 4216 requirements for Trenching and Excavation. Call USA to locate/xxxx public utilities. If private utilities are not located/marked by USA, the utilities must be located by the facility owner and the Excavator. • Excavators in California are required to have a Cal-OSHA Site-Specific or Annual Permit and Cal-OSHA Notification before construction of trenches or excavations 5 feet or more in depth, and into which a person is required to descend. Copies shall be maintained at the project site. • Trenching and Excavation is defined as High Hazard Work and requires a XXX to be completed by the Excavator. The subcontractor must submit the XXX to the Swinerton Project Team for approval before proceeding. Please refer to the XXX process in item E. II of this document. Shutoff procedures and locations of utility shutoffs must be included in the XXX. At the crew level, Daily Pre-Task Plans shall be performed to ensure workers performing the work are aware of potential hazards identified in the XXX and to ensure workers performing the work may participate in designing safe work procedures. • Subcontractors must follow Cal-OSHA requirements for Trenching and Excavation, which include, but are not limited to, surveying and marking, calling USA North, reviewing any plans, and visually verifying utilities. • When excavating within 10 feet of subsurface installation, expose the utility by hand every 25 feet to make sure the utility is where it is indicated. When excavating in California and Nevada within 24 inches of any underground utilities, the law requires you to hand-expose and protect the utility (it does not mean expose or pothole – such practices are insufficient to meet California/Nevada requirements) prior to using power equipment. • Dig with Care. In California and Nevada - excavate by hand within 24 inches of the outside diameter of any utility. Utilities that are in conflict with your excavation are to be located with hand tools and protected before power equipment is used. Notify Swinerton and the affected utility operator(s) of any contact, scrape, xxxx, xxxx or damage to their utility.
