Best
Practice Today: Many

Every year, lives are lost in preventable trench collapses. One cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car — and a collapse can happen in seconds.
Let’s commit to protecting workers by following proper safety procedures:
✅ Never enter an unprotected trench.
✅ Always use protective systems like shoring, shielding, or sloping.
✅ Inspect trenches daily and after weather events.
✅ Ensure a competent person is on-site.
Safety isn’t optional — it’s a responsibility.
