Kansas plumbing company penalized more than $300K after trench collapse
“Fortunately, first responders rescued two workers when a 9-foot trench collapsed,” said Todd Underwood, OSHA area director, in the release. “This incident is a stark reminder of how soil can shift suddenly and bury a person within seconds. Many other workers are less fortunate. In fact, OSHA investigated the deaths of 39 workers in trench collapses in 2022 alone.”
