    Manual Excavation and Backfilling

    Uploaded by

    azer
    Manual excavation and backfilling poses several risks: 1) Accidental impact on underground services during excavation could lead to a gas leak, contact with live power, or exposure to toxic gases, potentially causing fatalities, burns, or damage to assets. 2) Working with sharp tools in a congested area during excavation and backfilling increases the risk of personal injury and damage to assets. 3) Dust generation during manual backfilling poses an exposure risk to toxic gases and burns. Continuous monitoring and PPE are needed.
