The Workplace Safety and Health Division (WSHD) is pleased to announce the development of a
new online system for employers/contractors to notify WSHD of the intent to begin excavation work and to obtain a registration number.
Employers must notify WSHD,
no more than 48 hours before the day the excavation work is scheduled to begin,
in order to receive a registration number.
This process applies to excavations that will be more than 1.5 meters
deep in which a worker is required or allowed to enter.
Once all required information has been entered
online by the employer, a permit number will be assigned to the excavation and
the employer will have the option to print the information for their records.
This online system is
operational 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
Employers may also continue
to notify WSHD of their intent to excavate via the current Ex-Fax system or by calling WSHD at 945-3446.
