This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

photo per checklist section from the surface + GPS + Subpart P checklist + depth/setback/egress measurements + tiered findings routed to the competent person

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• hard hat + safety glasses + hi-vis vest + steel-toe boots (site PPE)
• tablet/clipboard with the OSHA 1926 Subpart P pre-entry checklist
• camera
• tape measure / measuring wheel (surface measurements of depth, setback, egress distance)
• flashlight
• cordoning / stand-back reference (traffic cones or existing barricade to keep clear of the edge)

Steps

1. 1. Check in with the site's competent person; confirm scope, don site PPE, and confirm you observe-and-document from the surface only, you never enter the excavation, never classify soil for the excavation, and never authorize entry (Subpart P reserves these for the competent person).
2. 2. Measure and photograph the excavation depth and the protective-system method in use, sloping/benching, or a shoring system / trench shield (box), and record whether a protective system is present for any excavation 5 ft or deeper that is not entirely in stable rock (§1926.652).
3. 3. Document soil-classification evidence: confirm a competent-person soil classification (Type A/B/C) exists to justify the protective system chosen; photograph and measure the spoil-pile setback from the edge (must be ≥2 ft) (Appendix A / §1926.651(j)).
4. 4. Check access/egress: a ladder, ramp, or stair within 25 ft of lateral travel for any trench 4 ft or deeper; photograph and measure the travel distance (§1926.651(c)).
5. 5. Screen surface hazards: adjacent equipment/traffic loads near the edge, exposed underground utilities, standing water in the excavation, undermined adjacent structures, and any atmospheric-hazard trigger (>4 ft in a possible hazardous atmosphere); record whether the competent person's atmospheric test log is present (§1926.651(g)).
6. 6. For each finding, mark the condition against the Subpart P checklist item, assign a tier (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor), and name the responsible competent person.
7. 7. Enter photos, GPS/address, the checklist, surface measurements, and the tiered findings list; sign. Route stop-work items to the competent person with a timestamp, never enter or authorize entry.

What counts as done

• Photos from the surface of excavation depth, the protective-system method (sloping/benching/shoring/shield), spoil-pile setback, and access/egress
• GPS / address confirm
• OSHA Subpart P checklist with measured depth, spoil-pile setback (≥2 ft), and egress distance (≤25 ft for trenches 4 ft or deeper)
• Presence/absence of a competent-person soil classification (Type A/B/C) and, where triggered, the atmospheric test log
• Tiered findings list (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor) with the competent person named + timestamp of stop-work items routed

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
