Ground Disturbance

Ground disturbance happens routinely during many types of work for a wide variety of reasons. No matter what the method or reason for conducting a ground disturbance, this activity can present a variety of hazards that workers and organizations need to be aware of. The type of work, scope of project, location, time of year, weather conditions and many other factors can create further hazards or change the risk of expected ones.

Ensure that safety is always a critical priority for any ground disturbance activity. With proper training, attention and experience, each hazard can be safely navigated and each job completed without incident.
