A shovel is an implement or tool, consisting of a broad flat blade with edges or sides turned up fixed to a wooden handle terminating in a bow like a spade. It is used for lifting or removing such loose substances as coal, gravel and the like.

The Traffic signs warning of a Work zone or Construction site generally show a person operating a shovel.
