An excavation permit to work is a critical safety document that authorizes digging activities while ensuring proper precautions are taken. This template helps you identify and mark underground utilities before breaking ground, preventing costly utility strikes and potentially fatal accidents. It guides you through required safety steps, from utility location verification to soil stability assessment.
