Collapsing trenches or cave-ins create a significant risk to workers and your business. Workers can develop severe injuries from collapses or cave-ins, and your project can end up behind schedule without the proper protective systems.

When you use the right equipment and techniques, you can reduce the risk of worker exposure to hazards, including collapses, falls, falling loads and incidents related to moving equipment. The correct protective system will also keep you in compliance with standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is essential for every business. Trench shoring and different trench shoring methods and equipment can help keep your workers safe from harm while increasing your project efficiency and productivity.
