Excavations and Confined Spaces Pack - 21 Documents: Permit to Dig, Trench Support, Services, Inspection Registers, Confined Space Risk Assessment, Entry Permit, Gas Log and Rescue Plan to CDM 2015 and the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 (Word + Excel, U

Permits, inspections, trench support and confined space entry records for the two activities that still kill people on UK sites - to CDM 2015 regulations 22 and 25, the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 and L101, HSG47, BS 6031 and BS EN 13331 - 21 documents with a worked example beside every template.

The permit to dig carries the services drawing check and the CAT and Genny record; the trench support selection sheet calculates earth and water pressure and tells you when a proprietary system needs the supplier's or designer's assessment; the excavation inspection register produces the regulation 24 report, with the weekly consolidated report on its own tab. The confined space side has the risk assessment, entry permit, gas monitoring log with alarm-level flags, rescue plan and the equipment and competence registers that go with them. All worked examples run on one fictional project and cross-reference the RAMS Library, the Site Health and Safety Pack and the Temporary Works Pack.
