More than 250 people across the country died over the last decade when trenches they were working in collapsed, according to an investigation by NPR, Texas Public Radio and 1A. Among their findings: 🛑 Companies fined by #OSHA, whose role is to ensure #workplacesafety, sometimes ignored the penalties and faced no consequences, including one that still owes more than $1.4 million imposed after the deaths of two employees eight years ago. 🛑 At least 10 of the companies that employed workers who were killed had been sanctioned previously by the federal agency for failing to protect employees doing #excavation / #trench work. One was cited five times in four years; another four times in as many years. 🛑 While those who violate OSHA standards can be criminally charged, authorities rarely brought charges. When they did, most offenders got off with a fine, probation or little time in jail. 🛑 The regulatory agency can issue imminent danger notices at job sites if trenching violations pose a threat of serious physical harm or death to workers, but it seldom does.

This goes out to the workers of the world. Pay attention to your own safety!!! Your boss and your employer will usually do the bare minimum to protect you. Make sure you ask the questions and challenge going with the norm. The standard for years was to wear a $10 hard hat that was going to do little to protect you. Make people value you! They pay you a decent wage, but are they willing to invest in your safety. Ask your superiors how much safety equipment they can buy you for the cost of one injury. #knowyourworth #personalsafety #imatter
