      I thought that was a callous thing to say when it doesn’t include his personal life.
      I hope they use that against him in court.

    I was a laborer and later on an equipment operator,and I can tell everyone that usually the mentality is (" we bid this job close so you guys need to hurry the hell up" ) management for the most part do not want to spend the time or money to do underground utilities safely ,which in turn means slowly. all they ask at the end of each day is "how much pipe did you get in today" .and let me tell you it's never enough.anytime you get in a big hurry underground you or someone else most likely will pay the price.i used to dig my ditches where I would feel safe going in.and if management didn't like my speed I would just tell them . "I want these guys to go home to their babies tonight " end of story

    As a safety, you have zero excuses not to have used a trench box, that's why I keep two logbooks, one for you, and one for the court.

    I do this kind of work and while the company is somewhat responsible for not complying with safety standards,you still have a responsibility to yourself and your family to protect yourself. He should not have went back in that trench.

    Remember your boss pays you not to be able to afford to live in his neighborhood so don't put your life in his hands when he short cuts safety on the job.

    Shady contractors just care about making money as quickly as possible. They will knowingly conduct illegal work until they get caught.
    And don't be surprised if they shut down the business and start another business under a relatives name and different company name.
    The contractors own words will be used against him to send him to prison.

      All it takes is a 4ft deep trench to collapse on you crush you your dead 8ft deep tell me you've never done dirt work with out telling me. 8ft deep needs to be benched 2 or three times so 16 to 24 ft bench to be safe depending on type of material being dug mr know it all

    • @curtriedel5036
      @curtriedel5036 5 месяцев назад +2

      The only ways it's kept safe is 1. Using a trench box, 2. Sloping, 3. Shoring, 4, digging a bell hole around it, etc

      I build tower cranes in Miami. My crews crane fell out the foundation in Delray. Different company had a tower section break off the crane durning a climb catapults 1 man 45 stories. Water balloon effect when he hit the concrete. Rumors had it they're trying to say it was a freak accident but lack of safety since he wasn't tied off is the thing

      Mexicans know how to haul A. And I've SEEN them do stuff like this! More than once! On their own. Nobody told them to do it or forced them. Roofers are the worst. I've seen them run up a peaked roof with no line on. I've seen them go from a 2.5 floor landing to top of 2 story peaked roof--NO safety!
      They think it makes them less manly, or something. I've known Poles to do stuff like that, too.
