    The document provides a risk assessment for an excavation task with several job steps and associated hazards and control measures. It identifies hazards such as lack of communication, improper tools, excavation without a permit, injuries from heavy equipment or collapses, and issues like oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, or falls. Control measures include daily toolbox talks, permits, shoring excavations over 1.2m deep, keeping spoil piles and equipment back from edges, lighting, walkways, harnesses, ventilation, and emergency equipment.
