There is just no reason for these types of fatalities to continue! Read the standard for excavating and trenching. You can comply without an undue burden of time and money. I will hazard a guess that this contractor will find it hard to withstand a fine of this magnitude even with some downward negotiation. Pre-plan your work. GCs make sure you get COIs from your subs….especially if you do not take the time to pre-qualify them.
Workers also need to be hazard-aware and do not take work that will put your LIFE in danger.
