Indiana Trench Accidents Kill Construction Workers Every Year
Posted on September 22, 2011 by Ronald Todd
When working in and around a trench, everyone must use extreme caution. If a trench collapses, there is a great risk of an asphyxiation death to workers in the trench.
These construction fatalities involving trenches happen when:
- Trenches are not properly shored;
- A competent person does not monitor the changing trench conditions, and
- Large trucks or equipment are too close to the trench.
As with most construction site hazards, trench hazards can be eliminated by following OSHA safety standards. See 29 CFR 1926.650 to 699.
