Trench collapses are among the deadliest threats to worker safety, often occurring without warning and leaving workers no time to react. However, when executed safely, trenching operations not only prevent collapses but also mitigate risks from falls, falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and incidents involving mobile equipment. At JHL, safety is woven into our culture. We're dedicated to ensuring that every trenching operation adheres to stringent safety standards. Through comprehensive safety protocols and rigorous training, we strive to minimize risks and foster a work environment where every team member feels safe and protected. #BuildingColoradosFuture #NationalTrenchSafetyStandDownWeek

Here are some essential safety techniques to mitigate risks: Use Guardrails and Safety Nets: Install guardrails and safety nets around elevated work areas to prevent falls. Ensure Proper Anchor Points: Secure anchor points for harnesses and lifelines to provide reliable fall arrest systems. Mark Warning Signs: Clearly mark hazardous areas and potential fall hazards with warning signs to alert workers. Regular Equipment Check: Regularly inspect fall protection equipment such as harnesses, lanyards, and anchor points to ensure they are in good working condition. Ladder Safety: Use ladders safely, ensuring they are properly secured and stable before climbing. #Ahpd #ConstructionSafety #ConstructionEquipments

Work inside and at the edges of excavation is always considered critical activity. A simple and easily understandable explanation can be seen in the video
⚠️ In this video, we witness the dangers of unsafe excavation practices. 🚧 A worker became trapped when the ground collapsed as they were moving pipes in a pit. This incident underscores the importance of adhering to safety protocols during excavation. Before beginning any digging, it's essential to plan meticulously and assess potential risks. Use robust supports and shields to prevent soil from collapsing and to protect workers. Continuously monitor the excavation site for any signs of danger. Ensure all workers are trained in safety procedures and emergency response. This approach will help keep everyone safe and prepared to handle any issues that may arise. #excavationsafetyawareness #deepexcavation #neboshtraining

#Safety6cess 🚧 Understanding the Dangers of Trenching and Excavation Trenching and excavation work presents serious dangers, with cave-ins posing the highest risk of fatalities. It's crucial to recognize that one cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car, making an unprotected trench extremely hazardous. To protect our workers, it is essential to maintain a safe and orderly work environment. Proper planning and management can prevent accidents involving falls, falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and mobile equipment. Remember, safety is no accident. Always ensure trenches are secure before entry, and never compromise on safety protocols. Your life and the lives of your colleagues depend on it. Stay safe out there! #ConstructionSafety #WorkplaceSafety #ProvenSafe #ProvenPower

Trench Safety Awareness: A Survivor's Story Alex Parker, a survivor of a trench collapse at just 17, shares his harrowing experience to raise awareness about trench safety. Sixteen years later, he recounts how a six-foot excavation caved in while he and a co-worker were repairing a water line, leading to severe injuries for both. Despite increased safety regulations, trench collapses remain a critical issue, with 22 deaths reported in the first half of this year alone. Alex emphasizes the need for ongoing education and vigilance in the industry. In a recent episode of *The Dirt*, Alex discusses the unpredictable nature of trench work, the lasting physical and mental impacts of his accident, and the importance of never entering a trench over four feet deep without proper safety equipment. His message is clear: prioritize safety and never underestimate the risks involved in trench work.
