RANDOLPH, N.J., Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Envirosight, the market leader in underground pipeline inspection equipment, has released an illustrated poster focusing on trenching and excavation. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), one in five worker deaths are in construction, and cave-ins pose the greatest risk. Following OSHA safety standards, this new resource is a visual aid outlining the rules governing sewer maintenance workers when digging a trench or excavating soil. The poster defines the meaning of "competent" individual, explains rock and soil types, and provides an easy-to-reference table of OSHA sloping and shoring requirements.
"Working in and around trenches is the most hazardous construction work out there," says Jake Wells, director of marketing for Envirosight. "And it's imperative that contractors, site leads and management adhere to safety standards at all times. Knowing the rules that govern the sewer industry can mean life or death for workers."
Fourth in a series of safety resource posters, Trenching and Excavation Safety is available free of charge and can be requested at inbound.envirosight.com/trenching-and-excavation-safety-poster. This infographic was developed as part of Envirosight's commitment to creating and sharing resources that benefit the water and wastewater industry.
