Benefits of Trench Boxes & Trench Safety
1. Stabilize the Earth
As mentioned, trench boxes are designed to hold up the earth on the side of the trench whereas our trench shoring products are designed to force against and support the trench walls. This helps to prevent soil from falling or caving into the trench while workers are inside.
2. Increase Life of the Trench
Trenches often suffer from a short life span due to inclement weather conditions or because of the quality of the earth. A trench box can help to increase this life span. Sometimes, trench boxes can hold trenches in place for several months.
3. Minimize Digging Requirements
Because the trench box stabilizes the trench and increases its life span, not as much digging has to be done. Once the trench is built, the trench box helps hold it in place so that workers don’t have to keep maintaining the trench. This saves on extra labor costs and helps move the project along.
4. Worker Jobsite Safety & Protection
This is the most important benefit of trench boxes. Every worker deserves to be given a safe environment in which to do their jobs. Trench boxes eliminate many of the external threats to workers. They also make it easier to move throughout the trench, minimizing even minor injuries such as rolled ankles and scrapes.
Trench boxes also protect workers by giving them additional time to escape the trench in the case of impending disaster. When a soil collapse happens without a trench box, it is often sudden and unexpected. But when a trench box is used, workers can recognize the warning signs ahead of time and get out. They can then reinforce the trench and get back to work knowing that they are safe thanks to the trench box.
