NUCA/OSHA Trench Safety Stand Down! June 14-21, 2021 Pic: A clients website picture used to discuss excavation safety. Presume the employee is less than five feet. Would you shore? Why? How? Part 3 of 5 Basic Principles and Myths What is a cave-in? Yes---within the first hour of training, that question will be asked. The response borders on incredulous to amusement. Everyone knows what a cave-in is? Do they? My experience is that most, field employees, crew leaders, owners, instructors and trainers, frequently miss a salient reality of what I and the standard are talking about---because it seems so simple and basic. Even when I phrase the question differently---how much dirt must fall to be considered a cave-in---confusion sets in. Does the standard actually say how much? Yes! Yes it does! This is not unexpected really. Neither the ANSI/NSC 1958 standard or the 1972 Subpart P edition provides a definition of what constitutes a cave-in, arguably the most critical issue of excavation safety. But the 1989 Subpart P edition does and with detail. However, in the abbreviated training programs offered today---a discussion on definitions is brief if at all. It is presumed everyone knows what is a cave-in! The definition reads: Cave-in means the separation of a mass of soil or rock material from the side of an excavation, or the loss of soil from under a trench shield or support system, and its sudden movement into the excavation, either by falling or sliding, in sufficient quantity so that it could entrap, bury, or otherwise injure and immobilize a person. The myth: A cave-in occurs when you are covered up! How many injuries and fatalities have occurred when the decision is based on being deep enough you can be covered up? Yesterday I noted the myth that standing soil must be inherently safe and the myth that you do not need to provide a protective system when less than five feet. Both are DEAD WRONG! Today, it is not the amount of soil that it will take to cover you up---but "that it could entrap, bury, or otherwise injure and immobilize a person". In your next class---or tomorrow, before work begins---just ask your crew leader, competent person, field personnel this one question: How much soil must fall to be considered a cave-in. I promise---you will discover, with all of the years some have been in excavation safety, they may not know what constitutes a cave-in, the focus of being trapped or immobilized...not just covered up. Contingent realities: The issue is employee exposure and potential for exposure. Ground movement per se is of no concern to OSHA---only hazardous ground movement which is employee centered. See Appendix F. Accordingly---is there potential for cave-in in the picture attached to these comments? Would you provide a protective system? Why? What? Are there other concerns? Thanks for reading---be safe!

ENGINEERING NEWS-RECORD'S TOP 400 CONTRACTORS: "When the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates 11 times last year in a bid to control rampant economic inflation, many Top 400 Contractors said they felt those policy changes in the form of project delays, rescopes or outright cancellations. Now, with construction costs at a prolonged high, firms say preconstruction has helped some would-be paused projects stay viable. But in a construction market where demand for resources far outpaces supply, firms say preconstruction has its limits against inflation." - Engineering News-Record https://lnkd.in/gXghBeZW #constructionindustry #toplists #economicforecasts #engineeringnewsrecord #epcrecruiters

Our Project Leaders Speak Out #NationalSafetyMonth At Northedge, we believe that safety is not just a protocol—it’s a daily commitment. Our project superintendents and foremen embody this principle, integrating safety into every aspect of their work. Here’s what they have to say: 👷‍♂️ Superintendent: “Safety is the foundation upon which we build our success. Every morning, as I oversee the site, I ensure that every safety measure is not just followed but understood. It’s about creating a culture where safety is second nature.” 👷‍♀️ Foreman: “In my team, we don’t see safety as a checklist—it’s a mindset. From the moment we step onto the project site, we’re proactive about identifying potential hazards and taking steps to mitigate them. It’s about going home the same way we came in—safe and sound.” These testimonials reflect our ongoing dedication to maintaining the highest safety standards. By highlighting the proactive approach of our leaders, we reinforce the message that safety is a collective responsibility and a critical part of our daily operations. Join us in celebrating the commitment of our project leaders to creating a safe working environment for everyone.
