One of the most deadly hazards on a construction site is a trench
collapse. Trenches are generally considered any excavation that is
deeper than it is wide. OSHA requires that a ladder or other means of
egress be present in trenches of a certain depth. Additional safety
measureS, such as shoring or boxing to support the side of the trench,
may also be required. If a responsibile party fails to take adequate
precautions, a trench collapse can be fatal to those workers inside the
excavation.
