Construction Trenching Accidents Can Be Prevented, American Society of Safety Engineers Say ASSE, PR Newswire
Construction trenching accidents result in 40 fatalities and numerous injuries each year. The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) recognizes that many of these fatalities can be prevented by utilization of government and industry safety standards.
A construction trench is a narrow excavation made below the surface of the ground. In general, the depth is greater than the width, but the width of a trench (measured at the bottom) is usually not greater than 15 feet. A trench is a space where cave-ins, falls, falling objects and bad air can cause worker fatalities. Also, electrocutions or explosions can occur when workers contact underground utilities and bad air in small spaces can damage a workers' breathing, contribute to causing a fire, or poison the worker.------------------------------------------- posted 8:18 AM :: reference link ::
