Rescue workers say trench lacked safety features By ANNE MILLER
According to OSHA guidelines, excavation trenches deeper than 7 feet must have sloping sides, bracing on the walls or a type of cage to keep workers safe, all of which can prevent mudslides.
Last year, 92 workers died at construction sites for residential homes, according to the national Bureau of Labor Statistics. The statistics did not include information on incidents related to excavation trenches.
There were no safety measures in the trench where Koons died, said village of Colonie Fire Chief Ed Sim.------------------------------------------- posted 7:00 AM :: reference link ::
