Workers continue to be injured or killed every year from well-known and preventable hazards. Recently, during a one-week period, six workers across the Midwest lost their lives in trenches that weren’t properly secured to prevent them from collapsing. Each of these tragedies could have been avoided by following long-established and proven safety measures. That is why OSHA is focused on raising awareness, promoting compliance with standards, and reinforcing the use of protective measures on construction sites.
