Trenching Safety

WorkSafe and the PPTEU are warning employers and workers to take trenching safety seriously. 
Since 2017, there have been three fatalities due to trenching incidents at Victorian construction worksites. This highlights the significant need to address unsafe trenching practices in the construction industry

To reduce the risk of incidents occurring during trenching work, employers and self-employed persons need to be adequately prepared, have the right controls in place, and adhere to OHS rules and regulations.
