Permit to Dig Template — UK Construction
A permit to dig template for UK construction contractors. Striking buried services — gas, electric, water, telecoms — is one of the leading causes of serious injury on UK construction sites. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 place a duty on contractors to identify and protect buried services before any excavation begins. This permit to dig covers the full pre-dig process: utility records check, CAT and Genny survey, hand dig zones, permit authorisation and daily sign-off. It is suitable for all excavation work including drainage, groundworks, service installation and civil engineering. Use it alongside your excavation risk assessment and method statement.
