Suggested protective system: Needs Safety Review (soil not classified)
- Soil not classified yetThe protective system depends on soil type. A competent person must classify it before entry.→ Pick a soil type or leave 'Unknown / Needs Review' so Safety follows up.
Stop-Work Authority. If anything looks wrong, stop the job. You will never be punished for keeping a crew alive.
Coaching, not punishment. Flags mean Safety will follow up — not that you did anything wrong.

Competent Person Required. Every trench 5 ft or deeper needs a designated competent person on-site — trained to identify hazards, authorized to correct them, and present before crews enter. No competent person, no entry.
