Answer to Question 1

It is the most common form of excavation in construction. A trench is a narrow excavation that is deeper than it is wide and is no wider than 15 feet.

Answer to Question 2

OSHA requires the following safe practices when installing proactive systems:
 Make sure that all structural members of the support system are properly and securely connected.
 Make sure that no structural component of a support system is overloaded.
 When temporary removal of a structural component of a support system is necessary, first install another to take its place.
 Coordinate the installation of support systems closely with the excavation work.
