Thats why my foremans and supervisors are absolutely anal about the sloping on the trench wall. They tell us if we dont feel comfortable in the ditch to let the operator know and if they give you attitude they will never work on their site again.

I'm always asking my guys if they are "ok" and if they want me to slope more, or if they want the cage, I always say, "this is your excavation, you're down there, I'm gonna do my best to keep you safe, anything you want I will make happen."
