Trench Accidents Kill Construction Workers Every Year
Posted on October 19, 2011 by Ronald Todd
Trench collapses or cave-ins are preventable construction hazards that happen too often.
These trench accidents can happen when:
- Trenches are not properly shored,
- A competent person does not monitor the changing trench condition, and
- Large trucks or equipment are too close to the trench.
When trenches collapse, they almost always result in construction fatalities. The workers are asphyxiated by the falling dirt. As with most construction accidents, trench accidents can be prevented by following OSHA safety standards.
