Excavation and Trenching
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, excavation and trench-related fatalities from 2016 thru were nearly double the average of the previous five years. OSHA has made reducing trenching and excavation hazards the Agency's Priority Goal. Trench collapses, or cave-ins, pose the greatest risk to workers' lives. To prevent cave-ins:
SLOPE or bench trench walls
SHORE trench walls with supports, or
SHIELD trench walls with trench boxes

8. Safety Moment Terrell Roddy
Hazards and Solutions
The primary hazard of trenching and excavation is employee injury from collapse.
Trenching and excavation work presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are more likely than some other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities. One cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car. An unprotected trench can be an early grave. Employers must ensure that workers enter trenches only after adequate protections are in place to address cave-in hazards. Other potential hazards associated with trenching work include falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and hazards from mobile equipment.
Soil analysis is important in order to determine appropriate sloping, benching, and shoring requirements.
What are the soil classification categories
■ Stable rock;
■ Type A soil;
■ Type B soil; or
■ Type C soil.

9. Safety Moment Terrell Roddy
Hazards and Solutions
Stable Rock – Natural solid mineral matter that can be excavated with vertical sides and remain intact while exposed.
Type A – Cohesive soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 tons per square foot (tsf) (144 kPa) or greater. Examples include: clay, silty clay, sandy clay, and clay loam. Certain conditions preclude soil from being classified as Type A. For example, no soil is Type A if it is fissured or has been previously disturbed.
Type B – Includes cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength greater than 0.5 tsf (48 kPa) but less than 1.5 tsf (144 kPa) and granular cohesionless soils (such as angular gravel, similar to crushed rock, silt, silt loam, sandy loam, and, in some cases, silty clay loam and sandy clay loam).
Type C – Cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength of 0.5 tsf (48 kPa) or less, granular soils (including gravel, sand, and loamy sand), submerged soil or soil from which water is freely seeping, submerged rock that is not stable, or material in a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into the excavation or with a slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V) or steeper.
Additional hazards include working with heavy machinery; working in proximity to traffic; electrical hazards from overhead and underground power-lines; and underground utilities, such as natural gas.

10. Safety Moment Terrell Roddy
Hazards and Solutions
Some of the compliance methods permitted under the Excavation standards require a competent person to classify soil and rock deposits:
What is a competent person?
A competent person is an individual, designated by the employer, who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to workers, and who is authorized to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. Under the Excavation standards, tasks performed by the competent person include:
■ Classifying soil;
■ Inspecting protective systems;
■ Designing structural ramps;
■ Monitoring water removal equipment; and
■ Conducting site inspections.

11. Safety Moment Terrell Roddy
Hazards and Solutions
What safety factors should be considered when bidding on a job?
Before preparing a bid, contractors should know as much as possible about the jobsite and the materials they will need to have on hand to perform the work safely and in compliance with OSHA standards. A safety checklist may prove helpful when employers are considering new projects.
Factors to consider may include:
■ Proximity and physical condition of nearby structures
■ Soil classification
■ Surface and ground water
■ Location of the water table
■ Overhead and underground utilities
■ Weather
■ Quantity of shoring or protective systems that may be required
■ Fall protection needs
■ Number of ladders that may be needed
■ Other equipment needs.
■ Traffic

Conclusion
When owners, operators, contractors and employers share the details of their safety and health programs with workers, they should emphasize the critical role workers play in keeping the jobsite safe. Employers also need to emphasize specific practices that will help reduce the risk of on-the-job injuries at excavation sites. Such practices can include the following:
■ Test for atmospheric hazards such as low oxygen, hazardous fumes, and toxic gases
■ Inspect trenches following a rainstorm or other water intrusion.
■ Inspect trenches after any occurrence that could have changed conditions in the trench.
■ Do not work under suspended or raised loads and materials.
■ Ensure that personnel wear high-visibility or suitable clothing when exposed to vehicular traffic
■ Know where underground utilities are located before digging.
■ Keep excavated soil (spoils) and other materials at least 2 feet from trench edges.
■ Keep heavy equipment away from trench edges.
■ Identify any equipment or activities that could affect trench stability.
■ Inspect trenches at the start of each shift.

14. Introducing: Brandyn Littleton
USACE/EPA Rules and Guidance pertaining to wetlands/WOTUS and implementation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) have been continually evolving since the inception of the CWA. The most recent changes in the form of a new proposed WOTUS rule published in the Federal Register on February 14, This presentation will discuss this proposed rule, earlier iterations of the rule (1986, 2008, 2015) and how the variations may effect linear projects (e.g. pipelines).”
Brandyn Littleton is a Professional Wetland Scientist and manages the Environmental Planning Group in Terracon’s DFW Metro office. He has 15 years experience in environmental consulting focusing on assessments of wetlands/WOTUS and USACE coordination.
