This video provides you with a real life example of why trenching / excavation safety is so important.

Studies show that excavation work is one of the most hazardous types of work done in the construction industry. Injuries from excavation work tend to be of a very serious nature and often result in fatalities.

The primary concern in excavation-related work is a cave-in. Cave-ins are much more likely to be fatal to the employees involved than other construction-related accidents.

OSHA has emphasized the importance of excavation safety through outreach and inspection efforts based upon data which clearly establishes the significant risk to employees working in and around excavations. Furthermore, a high rate of injuries has continued to occur in and around excavations.

This video was captured in 2008. The worker got out of the trench safely.
