Trench collapses cause dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries each year, according to OSHA. Trenching accidents occur as a result of an improperly protected trench, improper protective systems, improper sloping, shoring and supports to prevent soil movement, cave-ins, the lack of a proper exit from the trench, debris near the edge of a trench and improper inspections. According to OSHA, cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are much more likely than other excavation related accidents to result in worker fatalities. Other potential hazards include falls, falling loads, and incidents involving mobile equipment.
