The moment you need it

Document the competent-person inspection before work restarts

Rainfall or another event may have affected an excavation’s stability, or a new shift is starting. A competent person must inspect and record the condition before work proceeds.

Project boundary: UK HSE guidance states that excavations should be inspected at the start of each shift and after events affecting stability, with written reports following most inspections. Work must not proceed until safe.
