Excavation Permit


Any employer in Manitoba who proposes to make an excavation that is more than 1.5 metres deep, in which a worker is required or permitted to enter must provide notice of excavation to the Workplace Safety and Health Branch (WSH) not more than 48 hours before the day the excavation work is scheduled to begin.

Employers must not begin any excavation work without a valid excavation registration number and serial number for the excavation project from the WSH branch.
