This document outlines the steps and hazards involved in a dewatering project and the corresponding safe procedures to follow. The key steps are preparing for the job, excavating a sump if needed, setting up pumps, and pumping water while following environmental procedures. Hazards include being struck by equipment, falling, strains from moving pumps, pinched fingers, electrical shock, fire, and high pressure hoses. Crews must use proper PPE, plan lifts carefully, inspect equipment, and secure hoses to stay safe.
