“Touching” “Infuriating” and hopefully “Educational” and “Motivating” are all words that come to mind reading this amazing article, Death in the Trench<\/a>, by veteran investigative reporter Jim Morris. You should probably stop here and read it, but I can’t help providing a few reasons why.<\/p>\n

Morris, writing for the Center for Public Integrity<\/a>, tells the story of the 2016 death of\u00a0Jim Spencer, buried alive in an 8-foot deep trench.\u00a0 Going beyond the raw statistics (Twenty-six workers died in trench collapses in the United States in 2016 \u2013 twice as many as the year before), Morris describes the impact of Spencer’s death on his wife of nearly 40 years, family and community — and why it didn’t need to happen:<\/p>\n

When a worker dies of traumatic injury gloom spreads like a webbed crack on an ice-covered pond, reaching far beyond the immediate family to touch former colleagues, lifelong friends and \u2013 in Jim Spencer\u2019s case \u2013 waitresses, convenience-store clerks and other strangers he routinely engaged in conversation in this western Nebraska railroad town of 9,000 people. His life and thousands of others were extinguished last year because an employer either didn\u2019t know about or disregarded provisions of the 47-year-old federal law that guarantees a safe workplace. The steps needed to prevent trench cave-ins are no secret \u2013 or shouldn\u2019t be. Sections 1926.651 and 1926.652 of regulations adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act state, among other things, that heavy equipment must be kept away from trench edges and trenches five feet or deeper must be shored up \u201cexcept when excavations are made entirely in stable rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shocking, even to me who has been infuriated by trench collapses<\/a> for 35 years, is Morris’s findings that the heads of the construction company and contractor that employed Spencer claimed that they didn’t know about trench collapses and how to protect workers. And most shocking is an observation by retired OSHA inspector John Newquist, who had investigated more than 100 trench collapses during his 29 years with OSHA. Newquist, currently and health and safety trainer and consultant<\/p>\n

sees the same practice that exasperated him as an OSHA inspector: Workers sent into seven- or eight-foot-deep trenches with no shoring, on the flawed assumption that \u201cit\u2019s just dirt.\u201d In 2003, Newquist and several colleagues from the Aurora office went into the field to try to enlighten owners of plumbing companies. They engaged about 180 such firms, a high percentage of which \u201cwanted to keep doing things the way they\u2019d been doing it,\u201d Newquist says. \u201cI was stunned. Some of these people had been around 40 or 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris doesn’t stop with the crime itself, but goes on to look at the structural problems at OSHA that allow these type of preventable tragedies to keep occurring — low budget, short staff, low fines (the two companies involved in Spencer’s death were assessed fines of $24,800 and $16,800, respectively), and weak criminal penalties — and some of the things that the Obama administration tried to do about it, especially in the area of negative publicity:<\/p>\n

Publicity \u2013 of the negative sort \u2013 also helps. When they were at OSHA, Michaels and Barab made it a point to issue a press release on any enforcement case with a proposed penalty of $40,000 or more; the previous cutoff had been $70,000. They\u2019d also highlight certain problems \u2014 heat-related deaths, workplace violence \u2014 regardless of the dollar amount involved. The message to workers, Barab says, was, \u201cHey, I don\u2019t have to put up with this. This is not an acceptable condition and I can call OSHA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anecdotal evidence suggests the shaming policy worked. Michaels, now teaching at George Washington University, and Barab, a consultant and author of the \u201cConfined Space<\/a>\u201d\u00a0newsletter, say they both heard from company lawyers whose clients worried more about seeing their names in OSHA press releases than about being fined. Matthew Johnson, a research scientist at Duke University, says his own work shows that the releases \u2013 often cited in local newspapers and trade journals \u2013 have a measurable impact. He found that once an employer had been publicly reproached, OSHA violations by similar businesses within a three-mile radius fell 75 percent in the ensuing three years. \u201cEven if I look at 20 miles out, this effect stays very strong,\u201d says Johnson, an economist whose paper on the subject is undergoing peer review.<\/p>\n
