About Safety Excavation and Trenching

Excavation and trenching are known as the most unsafe construction operations. Excavation is defined as any man-made cut, cavity, land clearing or trench in the earth’s surface formed by earth removal. A trench is defined as a narrow alternative excavation, which is deeper than it is wide, and is not wider than 15 feet (4.5 meters).

Dangers involved in Excavation and Trenching

Cave-ins have the maximum risk and are much more probable than other types of excavation associated accidents to result in worker fatalities. Other possible dangers include falls, falling loads, harmful atmospheres, and other incidents concerning mobile equipment. Trench gives way cause dozens of losses and hundreds of harms each year.

Common Excavation and Trenching Rules

Heavy equipment tools should be kept away from trench edges.
 

Surcharge loads needs to be at least 2 feet from trench edges.
 

One should not work under raised loads.
 

Test for low oxygen, dangerous fumes and other toxic gases.
 

Inspect the trenches that follow a rainstorm.
 

You should know the location of underground utilities

Self protection

You should not enter an unprotected trench! Trenches 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep or superior need a protective system unless the excavation is made totally in stable rock. Trenches 20 feet deep or better require, which the protective system be designed by an expert engineer or be based on tabulated data prepared and/ or approved by a registered expert engineer.

Protective Systems

There are various kinds of protective systems available. Sloping comprises cutting back the trench wall at a slant inclined away from the actual excavation. Shoring needs installing aluminum hydraulic or any other kinds of supports to stop soil movement and cave-ins. Shielding defends workers by making use of trench boxes and also other types of supports to stop soil cave-ins. Designing a protective system could surely be compound because you have to think about many factors: soil classification, depth of cut, water soil, changes in the weather or climate condition, surcharge loads (e.g., spoil, other tools to be used in the trench) and other operations in the surrounding area.

One True Life Story Of A Russian Gold-Digger

My wife went to her ESL class in America one day. Her teacher introduced her to another young woman from Belarus. We shall call her Valentina, which is not her real name.

Her real name has been changed to protect the not so innocent. She spoke no English.

Valentina told this long story about being brought to America by a man who was thirty years older than her. She said that he refused to feed her and take care of her. She said she ran away from him and was staying at the home of another Russian family.

She had exceeded the three months allowed by the fiancé visa, without marrying the man who brought her here. She was now in America illegally.

My wife invited her to dinner. She invited a friend of mine to dinner as well, who is an attorney, hoping that he could give her some advice.

Valentina asked my wife if she cooked for me every day. My wife said yes. Valentina explained to her in Russian that she would not be bothered with any of that.

Valentina asked my wife if I had a maid. My wife explained that she did the cleaning. Again Valentina turned her nose up at the idea of household chores.

Valentina didn’t eat much at dinner, but she drank nearly a bottle of wine by herself. The wine loosened her lips.

Valentina explained that the man who brought her to America had mental problems. She said he ‘acted like a bird, flapping his arms like wings, as he danced around his car.’

Valentina said she knew of his mental problems before she came to America, but she came anyway.

She said she didn’t know if she would have another chance to get to America otherwise. My friend, the attorney, tried to offer her legal help. He offered her a job cleaning his house if she needed some extra money.

Valentina explained to my wife, in Russian, in no uncertain terms, that she would rather earn money in a different way, rather than housework.

She asked how my wife could stand being around ‘these fat old men,” referring to my friend and I.

My wife got more and more angry with Valentina as the evening wore on. She cut off all relationship with her after that evening.

We heard through the grapevine that Valentina was on her way to Los Angeles to get her visa problems taken care of. She was probably now in the hands of the Russian Mafia – people she could understand because they thought just like her.

John has been married to a Russian women for over five years. He has travelled the path from finding her, to traveling to Russia, to bring his wife to America, and adjusting to married life. He will show you step by step how to do this yourself. http://www.russian-luv.com/valentina.html
