Worker Killed In Trench Collapse: "Nobody's Business" By Jordan Barab, Confined Space
'It's nobody's business,' according to Butch Menne, owner of B & J Septic and Excavation of Silex, MO, responding to a reporter's question about whether a trench that killed Chris Schmidt was properly shored.
I disagree. A worker killed in an unprotected trench is everyone's business. As long as employers are allowed to get away with killing workers by violating a clear law requring trenches over five feet deep to be shored, no one is really safe, any more than if any other criminal is allowed to get away with a crime with an insignificant penalty.------------------------------------------- posted 7:00 AM :: reference link ::
