Trenching costs $5 to $12 per linear foot, depending on the length, depth, soil type, and obstructions. Digging a 100-foot trench costs $500 to $1,200 on average for underground electrical conduit or water, sewer, or gas lines. Trenching services charge $35 to $65 per hour for labor.
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.
They are as follows: 5 feet deep trenches must have a protective system in place. Trenches greater than 4 feet must have a ladder for exit and egress. Ladders should extend at least 3 feet from the excavation for easy access and easy exit. Place excavated materials 2 feet away from the edge of the excavation.
