    Economy excavating company trench death leads to fine Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
    Workers were digging a trench for a sewer line.

    OSHA cited the company for violations concerning the trench's lack of shoring, the use of a gas-powered jackhammer without proper precautions and the absence of hard hats and eye and face protection.

    Under federal law, trenches more than 5 feet deep must be properly shored.
