OSHA requires employers to provide ladders, steps, ramps, or other safe means of egress for workers working in trench excavations 4 feet (1.22 meters) or deeper. The means of egress must be located so as not to require workers to travel more than 25 feet (7.62 meters) laterally within the trench.
Protective systems for trench safety include sloping, shoring, shielding, and benching. They are used when soil conditions and the depth of the trench present a hazard to workers. Although only required for excavations deeper than five feet, its a best practice to provide some form of stabilization in all trenches.
Excavation Safety is a standardized set of safety precautions for trenching and excavation to eliminate hazards and control risks in compliance with regulations.
OSHA defines an excavation as any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in the Earths surface formed by earth removal. A trench is defined as a narrow excavation (in relation to its length) made below the surface of the ground.
Keep excavated soil (spoils) and other materials at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) from trench edges. Know where underground utilities are located before digging. Test for atmospheric hazards such as low oxygen, hazardous fumes and toxic gases when 4 feet deep. Inspect trenches at the start of each shift.

Inspect the site before work begins. A competent person must inspect the excavation and its support system for signs of possible cave-ins, protective system failures, hazardous atmospheres, or other dangerous conditions.
If an excavation is more than 5 feet in depth, there must be a protective system in place while workers are in the excavation. Excavations more than 4 feet in depth must have a way to get in and out, usually a ladder, for every 25 feet of horizontal travel.
Excavation is the act or process of digging, especially when something specific is being removed from the ground. Archaeologists use excavation to find artifacts and fossils. There are many types of excavation, but they all involve digging holes in the earth.
