Excavation and Trenching
Proper excavation and trenching safety involve thorough planning, including soil analysis to determine stability and potential hazards like cave-ins. Protective measures such as shoring, sloping, or trench boxes must be implemented to prevent collapses and ensure worker safety. Adequate access and egress points, along with barriers to prevent unauthorized entry, are essential safety measures. Workers must be trained in excavation safety, including recognizing warning signs of trench instability and using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hard hats and trench boots.
