This web-based Trenching & Shoring Safety in Construction Environments program aids facilities in adhering to OSHA’s rules and implementing secure work methods to prevent workplace incidents. In the U.S., construction workers account for one-fifth of all workplace fatalities, but when they are working within a trench, their risk of a fatal accident more than doubles.
