Trenching & Excavation Rules

Make Trench safety your job site's first priority. OSHA specifies Trenches 5 feet deep or greater require a protective system unless the excavation is made entirely in stable rock. Be sure to follow these rules on a daily basis: 

  • Keep heavy equipment away from trench edges.  
  • Keep surcharge loads at least 2 feet from trench edges.  
  • Know where underground utilities are located.  
  • Test for low oxygen, hazardous fumes and toxic gases.
  • Inspect trenches at the start of each shift.  
  • Inspect trenches following a rainstorm.  
  • Do not work under raised loads.
