Multiple unsafe excavations were repeatedly observed at ECC without adequate safety measures. The deep manhole excavations were not properly barricaded and personnel including supervisors were standing on the excavation edges, the excavation walls were not adequately protected or provided with suitable benching and excavated spoil was left too close to excavation edges with the risk of boulders falling into the excavation.  CMA addressed the issue to PIVOT Site Engineer Mr. Najeem and HSE person Mr. Hyzm for the follow-up. PIVOT to remove all the excavated spoil from the excavation edges, secure the deep excavation (manhole area) edges with hard barriers and prevent personnel access on to the edges, and to improve the excavation wall protection or benching. PIVOT to record the violation of task supervisors who have failed to implement a safe work procedure and safety measures.
