New OSHA Trenching Emphasis Program 2019

Posted: Feb 15, 2019

The Greater Boston Chapter is communicating this information from our friends at OSHA on their National Emphasis Program on Trenching and Excavation.

Due to the continuing incidence of trench/excavation collapses and accompanying loss of life, OSHA has determined that trenching and excavating worksites continue to warrant an increased enforcement presence nationally.

OSHA has long maintained that employees exposed to potential cave-ins must be protected before the excavation face is in imminent danger of collapse, because OSHA believes that there is a potential for a collapse in virtually all excavations.
