29 CFR 1926 Construction Standards

The trench doesn’t wait for someone to find the rule.

RegLogic brings OSHA’s 1926 Construction standards, every section, every threshold, instantly searchable, always current, and there even when the signal isn’t. The exact requirement for the work in front of you is one question away.

The risk

Five feet doesn’t look like much. It’s the line between a job and a fatality.

A cubic yard of soil weighs about as much as a car, and a cave-in gives no warning. Subpart P spells out what an excavation demands, soil classification, sloping, shoring, the daily competent-person inspection.

But a trench changes by the hour. Rain. Vibration. A spoil pile creeping toward the edge. The rule that applied yesterday may not be the rule that applies this morning.

The standard tells you what’s required, the trench tells you what’s changed.

The turn

Ask it while you’re next to the trench.

Not from the truck. Not back at the trailer. Right there at the edge, even with no signal. Type “excavation protective systems depth” and land instantly on 1926.652: the exact language, every cross-referenced standard one tap away. The regulation finds you below grade, the moment you need it.

From question to answer in seconds — online or off.

The system

Make 1926 yours, and your crew’s.

Works offline

The signal dies in the trench, the cab, the basement of a shell. RegLogic doesn’t. The full regulation travels with you — no bars required.

Pin what you need

The standards you check every day, one tap from the home screen.

Notes your crew can see

Leave a note on a standard, and the next competent person on shift picks up exactly where you left off.

Share it company-wide

Every foreman, every super, reading the same current language.

The confidence

The crew went in. They didn’t miss a beat.

See how fast the whole of 1926 can be right where the work happens.
