Assess excavation safety with daily competent person inspections, cave in protection, water hazards, shielding, and access controls. Inspect heavy equipment parking brakes, seat belts, and cab visibility. Verify hand tools are safe and electrical tools are grounded or double insulated. Evaluate rigging identification, inspection, and load limits. Ensure ladder inspections and tagging of defective ladders. Capture supporting photos and complete foreman sign off to document findings and corrective actions.
