knowledge cannot possibly be capable of
recognizing existing and predictable hazards in
excavation work or taking prompt corrective
measures.

Registered Professional Engineers must be used if

• The excavation is deeper than 20 feet.
• An alternate system (such as sheet piling)
• that the Standard does not provide guidance
• for is used.
• If the excavator is at variance with the
• Standard (i.e. doing less than the Standard
• requires).
• Note OSHA expects that the engineer will be
  registered in a related area such as a civil,
  mechanical, geotechnical, or architectural
  engineer.
