Two arrested following deadly trench collapse at construction site in Vernon

[@pwilki8631]

I shut a job down yesterday......everyone was pissed at me.....but the wall had collapsed once, and although I wasn't in charge....it got shut down, all the big shots got involved, and three hours later the problem was taken care of and we were back to work. I'm glad it wasn't a Boeing job site,!!

That's messed up! Safety really is important then comes production.

I wonder if they would "Play the odds" if they were the ones in the trenches ? smdh

These people know the rules. Hand them a revolver with one bullet and spin the wheel.

I was a sewer and water laborer for about 3 years did almost an entire subdivision about 60 houses at least plus a bunch of other jobs never once had a trench box boss didn't even have one I got pinned up to my waist once but the hole was only that deep that time. My dad used to do it before me and he almost got buried a few times way deeper than I've ever been boss reached down swooped him out with the bucket right as the whole thing caved in

Unfortunately, it's the cost that stops the erection of shoring. Trench boxes are ok to 8 feet but anything deeper they can fail.
