Trench warfare: Safety vs. profit By Eugene Driscoll, Danbury News Times, CT
There were 48 trench deaths reported to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2003, up from 34 deaths in 2002.
Another federal agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, put the 2003 trench death toll at 53. More than half of the workers killed were Hispanic.
Industry experts say the true number of annual deaths might be twice the officially reported total. They say the reason for the carnage is simple: too many employers, especially owners of small construction companies, ignore safety rules.------------------------------------------- posted 7:33 AM :: reference link ::
