Another element of excavation is to make sure that any digging and excavations are carried out safely and securely. Structural excavations are different from general excavations on a site. There are still dangers that can happen and cause an accident or personal injury claim.
There are three main concerns with excavations and these involve both public and employees. One of these concerns is moving. This mainly includes injury that could happen to a pedestrian when an excavation vehicle is reversing. A construction worker might be aware to look out for machinery, but a member of the public might not be aware to look out for the vehicle.
There is a possibility of an employee or member of the public being trapped between the truck or an existing structure.
One of the main concerns is when the machinery is moving and the bucket or any other attachments fall from the excavator machinery. This is one of the main causes of death, when the bucket falls from the machine.
All of these risks can be controlled to avoid an accident claim and there are processes in place to ensure safety is paramount.
