[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 278, member: 33"] It's been awhile since I have performed earthwork on a job where OSHA or U.S. Army Corps of Engineer had safety inspections. About 12 years ago, I used to excavate on jobsites without trench guards as long as there were sloped or benched sides of the trench. This prevented the sides from from possibly caving-in on someone working in the trench, but also required a lot of extra excavating. Obviously this would not work if space was tight. I know the safety shoring is very expensive, has to be transported somehow, and needs a large enough machine to set it. Cost could quickly escalate, but the price you bid the job at will reflect this increase. Here's a link to OSHA's site with trenching information and regulations- [URL]http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/trenchingexcavation/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
