It covers pre-start planning, locating utilities and identifying soil type, ensuring proper shoring, benching, or sloping, safe access and egress at 25-foot intervals, barricades and signage, spoil placement at least 2 feet from edges, water accumulation control, and daily oversight by a competent person. Record findings, assign corrective actions, and document photos, drawings, and comments to improve compliance and reduce risk.
