Case Study: Trench Collapse at a Construction Site

I. Cause of Accident: At a suburban construction site, a trench collapse incident occurred during the excavation phase of a sewer line installation project. The primary causes of the accident were as follows:

1. Inadequate Shoring and Sloping: The construction crew failed to properly shore and slope the trench walls, neglecting critical safety precautions. This decision resulted from a lack of understanding of trench safety requirements.

2. Neglected Inspections: Regular inspections of the trench were not carried out, allowing the trench to deteriorate over time. Soil _____ ______ _____ ___ _________.
