Presumably the geotech crews doing the sampling know how to do the work safely and apply appropriate H&S precautions. If an archaeologist were carrying out a watching brief on such work, he/she would be working essentially as part of the geotech crew and could be covered by the same risk assessment etc. All that is needed is a bit of advance liaison to make sure it can be done safely.
Of more concern are sites where an archaeological evaluation is done separately from the geotech work, potentially with less knowledge of risks/precautions.
I have one of my staff researching this issue at present, to make sure that we can cover it better in specs.
