Follow Guidelines for Trenching and Shoring

OSHA has set a number of guidelines related to worker safety when performing trench or shoring work. Some of the guidelines you need to consider include:

  • Trenches that are 5 feet or deeper must have a protective system in place, except for cases in which the excavation is entirely made of stable rock.
  • For trenches that are 20 feet or deeper, the protective system used must be either designed by a registered professional engineer, or based on the tabulated date prepared and/or approved by a registered professional engineer to be in accordance with 1926.652(b) and (c).
  • Trenches must be inspected daily by a competent person to prevent excavation hazards as conditions change through the process.
